    Regulation of Retail Forex 3038-AC61
    TO: The attention of David Stawick, Secretary of the CFTC
    SUBJECT: Regulation of Retail Forex 3038-AC61
    David, and to Whom it may concern,
    I just want to add my voice in disagreement, and even
    concern for any leverage change from *at least* 100:1
    as I understand it is being proposed, to limit leverage as
    low as 10:1 !
    I am sure you have heard most of the arguments from
    whatever side, and yet as one of them, you recognize
    that this change will impact the US economy, by sending
    money out of the country.
    And many traders would make the decision to access
    credible (but foreign) brokers with depositing funds
    with them, instead of within our own USA..
    Please, among may other reasons, allow us to keep
    trading with USA brokers and keep our accounts in
    the United States. Most all of us in the foreign currency
    markets will not be able to continue to do so if the
    leverage is lowered below 100:1 and what's more, so
    low as 10:1.
    Sincerely,
    Ron Rhodes
