    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    Dear CFTC,
    A move to a 1 O-to-1 leverage limitation for retail forex customer accounts is only hurting those on Mainstreet. Such a limitation would force the US retail
    traders out of trading forex leaving the market to only large banks and hedge funds. For institutions risking others capital, it makes sense that they
    should be prudent with leverage and they can easily regulate their own behaviour. A retail trader risks their own capital and therefore should not be
    punished with such regulation.
    Please reconsider this decision.
    Thank you.
