    Proposed forex changes
    Sirs,
    I think changing regulation with regard to leverage is a very bad idea. This is how I make my living and changing
    max leverage to only 10:1 would have a big impact on my ability to earn a decent wage. I do think 400:1 and like
    secnarios is rediculous but 50:1 or 100:1 is resonable and in step with other markets. By making this change you
    will simply drive brokers off shore where you would have no control over them. The other impact would be the small
    guys would no longer be able to compete effectively.
    I would like to know the rational for this move.
