    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Reference: RIN 3038-AC61
    Sir
    The proposed change in margin requirements for forex trading will reduce
    the activity by, if not actually eliminate small traders from
    participating in forex trading. Although an increase may inconvenience
    institutional traders, the removal of small private traders is likely to
    their advantage.
    It raises the question, is the CFTC considering this change at the
    behest of institutions? I hope not, but given the level of influence
    banking, commerce, and industry have on US Government policy and
    actions, I would be surprised if this were not so.
    Please prove me wrong and consider small, private traders, for whom the
    smaller margin requirement make trading possible.
    Sincerely
    Dr. Robin A. J. Taylor
