    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    From: Mark Haskins in Miami Beach, Florida
    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.
