    Comment on proposed changes to Regulation of Retail Forex
    I am in favor of many of the elements of the proposed changes in RIN
    3038-AC61. Requirements to better ensure financial stability and
    integrity of brokerage firms are long overdue.
    There is one element of the proposed changes that needs
    reconsideration. Limitations on leverage to 10:1 only hurts the
    small trader by vastly increasing margin requirements for trading. It
    has no effect on the large players, it does nothing to insure
    integrity of brokerage firms. I strongly urge you to remove this
    clause from the proposed rules.
    Sincerely,
    Thomas Cox
