    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    Dear Sir:
    I am opposed to the proposed CFTC change of leverage to 10:1 for
    US-based forex brokers. The only thing this rule would accomplish is
    to force US traders to offshore brokerages which would put US traders at
    greater risk.
    The goal should be to help US traders be responsible and informed
    traders. It makes more sense to require US traders to complete an
    approved educational program than to decrease offered leverage to the
    point where the average trader won't be able to meet account requirements.
    Please reconsider this proposed rule and don't make this a country where
    only the wealthy can trade forex within the US.
    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Sandy Bose
