    Regulation of Retail Forex
    To whom it may concern:
    Please add my name to the list of citizens that oppose a 10:1 leverage
    cap when trading forex. There are several reasons for my opposition,
    including:
    1) The United States needs to compete with other countries that do not
    have this leverage cap.
    2) Current leverage levels are an option, not a requirement. I'm aware
    that I can use lower leverage if I'd like, but I like having the choice.
    3) The choice of leverage should be a choice between my bank and me, and
    it should not involve the government.
    I STRONGLY OPPOSE the proposed leverage cap. Please do not implement this.
    Thank you.
