    Regulation of Retail Forex - RIN 3038-AC61
    I oppose this proposed change to the amount of leverage that can be used in the retail forex market. The
    current regulations serve the retail forex market just fine. Wealthy individuals can trade the stock
    market. By allowing retail forex brokers to provide 100:1 leverage, you allow smaller traders such as
    myself entry to the market. Even if I have some losses, it is not going to be life altering, however if you
    reduce the available leverage to 10:1, Myself and many other traders will be forced to stop trading in the
    forex market.
    Please reconsider the effect that such a drastic change would have on the market and the smaller traders.
    Sincerely,
    Ronald Potter
