    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN3038-AC61
    Dear CFTC:
    I believe your proposed regulations - especially the parts about reduced leverage and tying Introducing
    Brokers to a single FX broker - will drive US Forex traders to less-regulated overseas entities. You can
    educate traders but you can't force them out of the trading practices they want to use. This will have no
    effect on the exposure of US consumers to risk, but it will drive business away from US-based
    brokerages and other Forex-related businesses such as independent IBs. These are small and large
    businesses, such as the one I work for, and if they lose customers due to these regulations, they will shed
    iobs or even close entirely.
