    Dear Sir,
    I have been a small trader for over 2 years with a small mini account of $ 2,500. I only trade 1 lot at a time and my
    margin runs around $100. If you make these changes my margin will run around a $1,000 which is around 50%
    of my total capital. This is insane.
    Has your agency done a cost benefit analysis to make sure your new rules do more harm than good.
    My broker plus many others already supply account transfers to the UK.
    Your actions on this will destroy the US market and put a lot more people out of work.
    Sincerely
