    Proposed reduction of 100:1 leverage for retail Forex brokers
    Secretary,
    As an American, I want you to keep your hands off of my leverage. You
    are hurting the masses to help the few. Thousands of traders rely on
    high leverage to trade Forex effectively. By removing this tool from
    our toolbox, you limit the potential of everyone.
    I think a better solution is to require a test be taken by each person
    opening a 100:1 account that shows they are competent with the risks
    they are taking. We allow Americans to drink alcohol, knowing that
    there are risks for drinking too much and driving. The same should be
    true with leverage.
    Very Respectfully,
    Thomas W. Dion, MS
