    Regulation of retail forex
    Dear Sir/Madam, I'm writing to express my opinions on the proposed changes to the retail forex leverage
    requirementsRin 3038-ac61.
    I am a retail individual forex trader that cannot afford the margin requirements in the stockmarket. My only hope
    of earning money is because of the current leverage of 100:1 threshold offered by most forex brokerage firms. I am
    unemployed and the only prospects for earning money is in the forex market place.
    If the new leverage requirement is changed to 10: 1, I will no longer be able to remain in the the forex market. I'm
    sure that many other traders are in the same position and I strongly urge you to reconsider changing the current
    leverage.
    Sincerely, Thomas Grant
