    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Identification number RIN 3038-AC61
    I agree with the bullet points below concerning the proposed regulations of the Forex market in the
    United States. I trade with a micro account and if my margin ratio goes to 10:1 it would force me to
    close my account. I am getting emails all the time from other countries wanting me to switch my
    account to an off sore account. I had rather trade in the US.
    ¯ Funded accounts currently in the U.S. system can be expected to go offshore.
    ¯ Forex fraud may worsen, not improve. Unregulated dealers from around the world will thrive, while
    operating
    without requirements for capital adequacy, risk management models, marketing ethics, dealing
    practices or
    even returning of customers funds.
    ¯ The United States may cost itself millions of dollars in trade revenue.
    ¯ Thousands of white collar jobs that require an advanced education and range from software developers
    to
    accountants to foreign exchange dealers may be eliminated, or move out of the United States.
    Thanks,
    Don Cornwell
