    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Hello, I'd like to comment on proposed regulation, RIN 3038-AC61
    If Americans are limited to a 10:1 leverage ratio, I will almost
    certainly and immediately simply open an account with a foreign
    broker. I agree that leverage over 100:1 is silly, but 10:1 is not
    enough, leverage exists for a reason beyond simply suckering folks who
    can't do math into thinking a 400:1 leverage has some sort of
    advantage.
    I also agree that there needs to be more regulation in American
    currency trading. The U.K. has regulation that makes sense and is
    helpful, let's copy them.
    Thank you,
    Jonathan Hiscott
