Using lower leverage is responsibility of the trader. However, it's understandable a measure to prevent big losses caused by enormous leverages, but I think that a maximum 1:100 leverage could be left. Numbers like 1:30, 1:5 or 1:2 are excessive for me.

It's obvious they did this. They are ESMA: Europe Steals Money Again. Obvious...

Its a bit of control over where the money goes, during the previous period there were some claims that China and Japan is manipulating the forex market, then we heard that NAFTA is going to be re-negotiated, afterwards every country putting taxes on the other

Im guessing this is part of the trade war and how citizens of every country can chose to put their money with different brokers "outside of their country" because of their leverage or other reasons, North American traders for instance sometimes chose brokers outside of the USA due to the very low leverage "1:50" and the fact that brokers there forbid hedging which could be a life savior sometimes

If all the above is true, then ESMA is not going to stop there, they will put more regulatory forms such as those which are driving brokers away from accepting traders from such countries, bringing traders to put their dollars with European brokers

 
Whoever will lose money with this, will leave the deal. Very simply, let's wait & see :)

Throw a 0.01 lot which doesn't pass to be processed by the banks and you hand yourself straight and clear to the brokers, so they can do whatever they want with your money


But only if you are a trader with some capital of course ..
