Regulation of Retail Forex
To: David Stawick, Secretary, Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Dear Mr. Stawick
Should the 10 to 1 leverage rule proposed by the CFTC be adopted:
Funded accounts currently in the U.S. system can be expected to go offshore.
Forex fraud may worsen, not improve. Unregulated dealers from around the world will thrive, while operating
without requirements for capital adequacy, risk management models, marketing ethics, dealing practices or
even returning of customers funds.
The United States may cost itself millions of dollars in trade revenue.
Thousands of white collar jobs that require an advanced education and range from software developers to
accountants to foreign exchange dealers may be eliminated, or move out of the United States.
Let's be sensible, don't enforce the rule on the market if the current market is win-win for both sides!
Dagmar
