    Proposed change in leverage for U.S. traders
    I believe you would be making a grave mistake by limiting leverage to 10: I for U.S. traders
    of Forex. Such a move would drastically reduce the ability of the average individual who
    does not have $10,000 or more dollars to trade in the Forex market. It is my understanding
    that the more individuals who trade in a given market (stocks, options, commodities, Forex)
    - even "small" traders - the more stable and predictable that market becomes. By limiting
    [everage to 10:1, you woutd automaticatty and drasticatty [imit the number of individuats
    who can trade in Forex, thus increasing market volatility and unpredictability. Such a move
    could only have negative consequences.
