What do you think about the 1:50 leverage limit for Russian traders?

 

s'not "fairtrade"

[Mark Jansen 10]

It is indeed not fair, since the regulatory institutions pose this regualtions without and concern of the opinion of the traders. I believe that we as traders need to receive more empowerment to exercise our opinion, instead of taking everything for granted. I found out this interesting article, which discuss the case and even presents some survey of CRFIN: Russian traders not satisfied with 1:50 leverage limitAtoZ Forex

Our counterparts in rus, etc. are getting hosed in many ways these days in the curr wars... hey - what goes around, comes around ...

 

Btw - For the idiots (in any ‘jurisdiction’) who find 1:50 ++ leverage is not 'enough'

Let them eat UltraCoin :rofl:

They surely, do get hosed in many ways. Although, I do no want to say that they are deserving this. Also, the 1:50 leverage is enough for me personally, however the majority traders do not comply with this. Haha, serve them Ultra-coin for breakfast.

we all know the answer, same happen with US regulation long time ago. many retail trader will disappointed, and most upper traders doesn't bother.

this could be spread across other EU country, we may had similar leverage for all brokers globally.. not much we can do about it, real trader surely adapt at any market circumstances, including lower leverage.

On the positive side, their losses will be controlled automatically.

[Ammeo 10]

Furthermore i do think that the maximum Leverage should be 1:50 just like its 1:4 with the equities brokers in the US. Having a big leverage makes a trader take heavy risks. I know risk can be controlled bt in a fast moving market anyone can get that big knock back cause of this high leverage.

Thanks, Prax and Ammeo, for you view on the positive side of the russian leverage limit. I surely agree that it would reduce the risks for traders, but eventually they take away the other possibilities. It's in the best interest of the larger parties and as little men we are not able to surge against it. Adaptation is indeed here the keyword, real traders keep their spirits high!

1:50 leverage is still huge and if you are using more than that its more like playing rather than trading.

 

I think for trading 1:10 is more than enough. Limiting leverage to 1:50 max should keep most beginners from loosing money very fast.
