    Regulation of Retail Forex
    I am writing to voice my opinion that I am against the recent proposal to increase margin requirements from 100:1 to the
    proposed 10:1 leverage.
    This new regulation will in practical terms close the door to retail investors learning to trade. The financial markets should
    not be limited to solely the large financial institutions. We, as traders, know the risks involved in trading and don't need
    these overbearing proposals effectively squelching us out of this market.
    Thank you for your time.
