    Proposed Forex Regulations
    I agree with regulating the Forex industry and registering brokers, but I STRONGLY disagree with a 10-1 leverage
    restriction. It's too low.
    I would likely trade overseas. This would leave me without the protection you intend to put in ~lace, which I do
    want.
    I prefer a leverage ratio of 100-1.
    I believe that newer traders would be protected at this rate and can still use the option of mini- or micro-lots.
    But a 10-1 ratio for mini- or micro-lots make no sense.
    Please consider this and enact 100-1 leverage instead.
    Thank you.
