Roughly a week ago, the ESMA (European Securities & Markets Authority) passed a new regulation that would require forex brokers to limit the leverage they offer to 30:1 MAX!

For minor pairs, gold, and major indices the leverage will be 20:1, 10:1 for commodities other than Gold and non-major equity indices, 5:1 on individual equities, and 2:1 on Cryptocurrencies.

This video is mainly geared towards the 30:1 and 20:1 leverage limits as that is what will affect forex traders. This video walks through how you can calculate leverage on your own, and in doing so, we illustrate that the new regulation is not as restrictive as you might initially think.

Having run a forex education service for the last decade, I see traders get wiped out time and time again because of over-leveraging. While I'm never one for government intervention, a reduction in leverage will no doubt help the majority of struggling retail traders succeed.
