    Propose leverage change in commodities market
    I understand that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is seeking public comment on
    proposed regulations concerning retail forex trading. According to the CFTC, "leverage in retail forex customer
    accounts would be subject to a 10-to-1 limitation," which means 10:1 leverage would be the maximum amount
    allowed for forex traders in the US.
    I want to express my opinion that we should not have any changes in the leverage. I have very good
    understanding of the risks involving trading. I have done years of research this type of trading which to
    minimize the risks. I do feel some people should not trade at all because they did not get proper
    education trading forex market or any other markets such as stocks. I depend of this for my income
    because I have out of work over a year. This proposal will punish good trader as well as bad traders who
    will lose in most any markets anyways. This is like taking away the right to drive for all good driver
    because some bad drivers one get hurt in accidents when they did not get proper training or experiences.
    Please reconsider and not make any changes in the leveraging of the forex markets.
