    Dear Secretary Stawick:
    As an individual trader of Forex markets, I urge that the recent proposed changes to leverage NOT be made.
    My comments relate to identification number RIN 3038-AC61
    It is clear that the changes in leverage would hurt American brokers and cost many jobs, as accounts will be
    transferred to other countries. The shift to off-shore would also increase risk as there would no longer be the
    oversight by the CFTC.
    I urge that these changes NOT be made.
    Sincerely,
    Jon Schmeyer
