    Regulation of Retail Forex
    REGULATION of RETAIL FOREX
    Identification Number: RIN 3038-AC61
    The proposed CFTC rules of changing the FX leverage to 10:1 is ridiculous. I as an active
    trader am outraged that such a proposal could even be considered. It is anti-American to
    destroy the basic right and freedom of FX traders to choose the amount of leverage that is
    appropriate for them.
    The CFTC was created in 1974 with a mandate that would prohibit the CFTC from creating any
    anti competitive rules and regulations in regards to its members. This change would create an
    anti-competitive environment for Forex brokers in regards to competition with banks not
    regulated by the CFTC and it goes a lot farther than that.
    The CFTC is becoming a JOKE! Pull your head out of the sand and look at the whole picture.
