    Against change in Forex leverage
    Dear Sir,
    I oppose the planned change in leverage.
    A 10:1 leverage in USA will accelerate further capital move to countries outside USA.
    This change doesn't make sense also due to the existing N 30:1 leverage in financial commodities.
    As a personal note, my personal plans is as follows:
    If the approved change in leverage takes place, I will move my Forex accounts to Europe (it just happens that
    besides USA citizen I am also CE citizen).
    Net change: will not pay income taxes for realized Forex gains, as the capital will not leave Europe. The UK
    classification will be "Financial Spread Betting" - which is tax free.
    Furthermore, in the near future I will start trading as trader in a LLC. Probably - if the leverage change takes effect -
    that we will incorporate also in UK and move all funds to Europe where they will stay indefinitely (my main investor
    is also CE citizen).
    At the proper time I/we will relocate to Europe after the capital.
    Thank you for your attention.
    Cristian
