    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Mr. Secretary,
    I strongly oppose the reduction from 100:1 to 10:1 of the maximum leverage in retail FX.
    One must keep in mind that 100:1 is never the effective leverage employed by traders, but such a large
    change in leverage regulation seriously limits a trader's freedom to employ a wide range of trading
    strategies that may take advantage of a leverage higher than 10:1.
    Sincerely,
