    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    Dear CFTC,
    As a full-time retail forex trader, I am absolutely opposed to changes in limited leverage
    requirements. The proposed change will only move capital and liquidity offshore. Retail traders
    provide many billions in liquidity per day and that should not be taken away.
    Regulation of this kind is hurtful, not helpful. This can only strip capital from pro-growth and
    business opportunities that would normally be created here in the United States.
    Forex leverage risk is widely advertised. Traders should be the ones to decide on how much they
    are willing to risk. With the auto-trade close feature in the forex systems today, the only capital at
    risk is that of the trader, and it should remain that way.
    Sincerely,
    Brett A Cook
    Forex Trader
