    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Sir,
    I am writing in regards to RIN 3038-AC61 and the proposed regulations of retail foreign exchange
    trading.
    My main concern is that retail forex accounts would be subject to a 10:1 leverage
    requirement. Changing the margin requirement would make it more difficult for individual traders
    (independent small business) to earn a living or add extra income. In economic times such as these the
    government should not be making it more difficult to earn a living by making capital requirements more
    strict.
    The margin requirement change would effectively make it impossible for people with lower
    capitalization to trade. I believe this the change would be a mistake.
    Thanks for your consideration,
    Tobin Glover
