Forex trading at the retail level has gained too much popularity among "small" forex traders. I agree that the negative backlash will be too great for the CFTC to implement such an action. The high leverage currently offered by most forex brokers is part of the appeal of forex trading. It is part of the reason why forex trading has gained popularity, by making forex trades possible for traders with limited capital. Removing this "accessibility" will not be taken lightly by many forex traders. I do not believe the CFTC will cut trading leverage to 10:1.
