Hi all
I have been putting together a small report about brokers and their focus on leverage as a tool to manage firm risk and clients risk. There were huge problems at some broker firms when the SNB pulled the 1.20 EURCHF floor. We saw many brokers lower leverage after it happened and also decrease leverage on other "pegged" currencies.
Some firms however, had specifically reduced the leverage prior to Jan15th 2015. If anyone has details on when a broker leverage pls can you provide a tad bit of info?
1) Broker
2) Month/Year leverage lowered
3) Leverage (e.g. Alpari was x400)
I have the following already...please let me know here if you have details on others. Thanks
