    concerning the new 10:1 forex leverage rule
    to whom it may concern,
    i am an active retail forex trader, i use 50:1 leverage, this is the minimum leverage that i feel
    comfortable with. i am asking that you do not take it all the way to 10:1. maybe over time you can but to
    take it from 100:1 to 10:1 will impact the liquidity so much that the markets will become distorted, it
    will also knock out a lot of players.
    i would be comfortable with minimizing it to 50:1 now then maybe 40:1 later and keep on taking it
    down to 10:1 over the course of a couple of years.
    this is just the opinion of one trader, thank you for taking the time to read this.
