    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Secretary of the Commission,
    I am writing to you regarding both my concern and disapproval of the proposed reduction of leverage on
    forex accounts to 10:1 contained in the "Regulation of Off-Exchange Retail Foreign Exchange
    Transactions and Intermediaries" dated January 20, 2010.
    As a small retail trader I have found forex trading very enjoyable and maintain several small accounts. I
    feel that this proposal is targeted at the small retail investor and if passed will effectively deny me and
    many other retail traders from being able to trade in the forex market. I sincerely hope that the proposal
    for reducing the leverage on forex accounts is not passed
    Thanks for taking the time to read this email.
    Best regards,
    Bruce H. Abeel
