    Regulation of Retail Forex
    To whom it may concern:
    I am a forex trader in China and I have been using US brokers for several years and very satisfied.
    Compared with other countries brokers, the aspects of US counterparties appealing me, which I
    think apply to other countries clients also, are:
    1, Strong and respectable regulation bodies,
    2, Sound and sophisticated financial infrastructure,
    3, US as a country have a tradtion for the protection of international investors,
    4, US based forex firms are generaly more financially solid and well-managed.
    Regarding your recently regulation proposal, I fully agree to enhance industry oversight, but I
    don"t like put any restrictions on leverage. Leverage is a very important tool for us seeking
    financial freedom as your Amercian, and lowering leverage dramatically like this will not only hurt
    our clients feeling but also drive us to other countries (ie. unregulated) brokers despite above
    advantage. This is not a win-win situation, it"s a lose-lose situation that you probably wouldn"t
    expected.
    Suggest Keeping the leverage 100:1!
    Please reconsider your proposal.
    Regards,
    Yong He
