    Regulation of Retail Forex
    To whom it may concern,
    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.
    Signed,
