    RE: Regulation or Retail Forex
    'Regulation of Retail Forex': RIN 3038-AC61
    To Whom It May Concern:
    I am opposed to any rules, laws or regulations which prohibit leverage. In fact, by making leverage 10 to 1 you increase the
    likelihood that any individual who trades will lose their money even quicker. With leverage, I am allowed to use only a portion
    of my money, therefore only risking a portion of my money when I put a stop loss on every trade and only trade at a certain
    risk factor, say 3% or 5%. Without leverage, I would have to trade the entire account to earn just a portion of what I can win
    with leverage. And I am limited to what I can lose by my education.
    What is needed is education, not regulation of leverage. Regulation of the Forex Platforms and Brokers, yes. Not leverage.
