    'Regulation of Retail Forex'
    Dear Secretary,
    I am new to trading and I am writing to say that if the new regulation of 10 to 1 leverage is imposed, I would not be
    able to trade due to the amount of money needed in my trading account. I feel that anyone that wants to trade the
    Forex should be able to trade and if the new 10 to 1 leverage is imposed, it will restrict traders that have limited
    funds to start trading with. I decided to trade the forex market not only due to the leverage you have to trade with,
    but because of the fact that you do not need a minimum of $25,000.00 in your account; such as to day trade
    stocks. The forex market allows you to begin trading with an amount of money the average working American
    can afford. This is the United States, home of free enterprise, and anyone should be able to trade in the forex
    market with a couple of hundred of dollars. That's all you would need to start up a legitimate business in the
    United States, so why take the opportunity away with the new regulation?
    Please reject this new regulation! RIN 3038-AC61
