    RE: R1N 3038-AC61
    Mr. Stawick (Secretary of the CFTC)
    This email is in regard to the proposed leverage reduction on retail Forex transactions from 100:1 to
    10:1.
    Those of us who trade for a living - or just as a hobby - are fully aware of the risks associated with
    Forex trading -- we take specific steps to protect our positions. We do not need another "watchdog"
    looking over our shoulders as we trade.
    We urge you reconsider this proposal, and NOT reduce the allowable leverage to the 10:1 level.
    Thank you..
