    "Regulation of Retail Forex" # RIN 3038-AC61 10:1 margin rule
    "Regulation of Retail Forex" identification number RIN 3038-AC61
    Restricting margin in retail forex to
    10:1
    is ridiculous !!. And it seems that the CFTC is just trying to promote
    FUTURES at the expense of Forex. Has Futures been limited to a 10:1 margin. I bet it has NOT
    and CFTC represents Futures doesn't it? Yes??
    Don't limit people, don't over protect them. Education is the key. People need to get educated on leverage
    and how to trade. Why doesn't CFTC put out guidelines or produce a course or document that outlines risk of
    leverage and develop a trading course to help punters protect their capital, instead of taking their tools away.
    This reeks of a self protecting purpose in promoting FUTURES as the expense of Retail FOREX.
    Shame on you !
