    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear sir:
    I have been a forex trader for over 4 years. I went into trading
    forex with my eyes open and selected a rationale leverage of
    100:1.
    The proposed rule to limit the leverage to 10:1 is utterly insane.
    The only way to truly have a liquid market is to have the largest
    number of participants .... going to the proposed leverage will do just
    the opposite.
    The reason I really love trading the forex market is to watch
    carefully the stupid, foolhardy actions of governments and then
    make money off their ineptitude!
    Is it possible our government is trying to restrict trading based on
    my observation stated above? Surely no one in their right mind
    would run our government the way it is being run. Just as sure as
    night follows day the chickens are coming home to roost. I will be
    judiously trading in forex picking the plums that have been
    provided by the illogical actions.
    I state again: I AM AGAINST RESTRICTING THE LEVERAGE IN
    FOREX
    TO 10:1. Allow the little man a chance to trade like anyone
    else!
