    Regulation of Retail Forex
    To whom it may concern,
    As a retail Forex trader with a mini account with Forex.com I strongly opposed the proposed regulation to Cap the Leverage
    available to people like me to 10:1.
    Indeed, Today, I just need a $100 to open a mini-lot position of $10,000 which is very reasonable given the size of my account
    and funds available for me to trade; this represents less than 5% risk per trade. With the new proposed leverage cap I would
    need $1,000 to open the same mini-lot, which would simply not be in the best of my interests to risk a little less than 50% of
    my account in only one trade.
    Hoping my voice will be heard along with the other traders opposing this proposed cap, I remain,
    Yours truly.
