The reduction of the leverage to 10:1 is aggressive with the small investors and only bring benefits to few

We wanted you to be aware that The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is

According to the CFTC, "leverage in retail Forex
customer accounts would be subject to
a 104o-1 limitation,"
which means 10:1 leverage would be the maximum amount
allowed for Forex traders in the
U.S.

time for you to help determine the
outcome.
The deadline for public comment is March 22, 2010. Make your opinion heard by
