{quote} I don't quite get this part highlighted. Why will a 1:30 leverage make a margin call easier?
Less leverage = The amount of money you put just to open a position/s [ie margin requirement] will go up= leaving less money free in your account balance. If your trades go against you at the same time, its very easy to get margin called or even blow up. Most of your money will be locked up in margin, instead of floating freely in case of bad trades.

From what I understand, reducing available leverage reduces the trade size one can open relative to their account size. Doesn't this reduce risk of a margin call?

If someone doesnt care for money management, they are still going to trade huge lots than their account can afford, with or without leverage.

At least that how I understand it.

Good. It should see a much overdue shake up.

If you're only risking a couple of % per trade max then this shouldn't present a problem. As a day trader focusing on a couple of pairs it's plenty of leverage.

I can see it being very annoying for swing traders who stack orders (i.e - opening new positions when earlier open positions are locked at BE).

The only gamblers whining over this decision are the hopeless and helpless. Those who treat retail FX as a potential career, will simply adapt.

The trustworthy ones do not even need any kind of advertising.

One of my "out-of-EU" alternatives just ordered a new MT4 server to handle all the recent account openings. They told me so as I was wondering about an additional IB account number.

The ESMA rules are actually a very good thing for retail traders....

You guys do a good job to clean this forum from scammers but seriously, more than 30:1 leverage is outright insane.
Negative balance protection is a problem for you?
....

All new rules help retail traders to lose less and have fun for longer......especially those gambling with high leverage.
So this is not an assault on retail traders, it's an assault on a rotton forex industry selling the dream of a profitable retail trader that doesn't exist in the long run, especially if he applies leverage more than 10:1.

Thank you ESMA - great job.

FINMA, when will you follow an implement a negative balance protection and a leverage cap of 25:1 ? It's about time.

Bankers consider any one who puts his hard earned money outside of "the system " an opponent.
Its historical since they started the war on gold , now crypto currencies , binary and FX
There is a big fat thing called DEBT that they want to keep feeding with cash from you and me.
