    leave the forex Current Margin Requirement at 100:1 Leverage
    Hi,
    I am a CFTC registered commodity trading advisor for over three years
    now. I think the forex Current Margin Requirement at 100:1 leverage
    should be left at this level. Forex market works on very small moves
    unlike stocks and other instruments. Increasing the margin requirement
    to 10:1 will have negative impact on market participants.
    Small moves of less than a cent a day in most of the currency pairs
    will not allow traders and market participants to trade effectively.
    Thanks
