Regulation of Retail Forex
RIN 3038-AC61
From: Ray Fratus in Shirley, Massachusetts
The proposed rule by the CFTC requiring IB's to be guaranteed by one broker is wrong and should be rethought.
Independent Introducing Brokers like Currensee Inc. (NFA #0403251) provide me with a very valuable service by
matching my trading style with the right brokerage offering. Many of the products brokers offer vary widely
regarding spreads, roll cost, customer service, trading platforms etc. Customers such as myself need an
independent party to research and explain these differences. I would not want the recommendation of a captive IB
that can only refer me to one brokerage offering no matter what the quality of the service.
I do not understand who is being protected by this. Futures IB's have the option of independence or being
guaranteed. If the CFTC regulates both industries why would there not be consistent regulations? Please change
your stance on the matter.
Signed,
Ray Fratus
