Advice on avoiding ESMA restrictions

As a UK resident I'd like to open an IG account & trade a small account with cfd's somewhere outside of ESMA restrictions but am unsure where will be best. Can anyone point me in the direction of an article, forum post or any other info regarding how to make a decision. Does Switzerland have any advantages over say Australia for example? I see Switzerland offers a deposit compensation scheme but Australia doesn't.

Thanks for any help

Good morning,

Can anyone shed some light on this subject, please?

So I have switched to Aussie CFD account however I have noticed when buying stocks I get charged a commission of £10 per trade and I will be liable for tax as well. So what are the benefits compared to spread betting and CFDs?

Hence why I am with CFDs now is because Aussie account does not offer spread betting, will they be bringing that option in soon? 

Regards Trev

I just read the ASIC consultation paper. Part of it was drivel and part was fair in some respects. Open to consultation until 1 October 2019. Hopefully they do what they did in Cyprus and relax the margin limit restrictions for traders with "enhanced trading experience".

I just replied an email to ASIC and CC to IG

I'm not Aussie and in my country there is no such high leverage products to trade. That's why I try to find high leveraged products to trade, and IG is one of the top provider who can trust in pricing, execution, safe of funds and other professional services. I dont want to use unregulated or brokers who setup on some islands somewhere....

 

I feel a lot of upset more than I lost my trades recently on indices. It means I habe no chance to use high leverage to gain more while if you lose in trading, you can come back but change in leverage significantly, no chances.

once the changes take affect, I will be looking for a new broker, cfd provider - able to offer the leverage we are accustomed to. Any suggestions appreciated

I'm sure there are plenty of fly-by-night operators in dodgy banana republics/tax havens that will happily oblige you.

Probably not, the FCA seems to be fully behind esma and the regulations.

 

Didn't the CEO of Hargreaves Landsown come out in favour of Brexit because he viewed these regulations as 'holding back Britain's entrepreneurial spirit'?  We all know what these folk mean by expressions like that.   Shylock demands his pound of flesh.

    • Solana (SOL) recently dropped from $180 to $160, possibly due to profit-taking or broader market trends. However, with Bitcoin's rise, Solana price could potentially surge to $1,000 in the future. Current Solana Price and Key Support Levels Price Status: Solana price today is trading in the $160 range, maintaining a level above critical moving averages as per Coinpedia Markets. Support Levels: SOL is currently above the 50-day SMA ($153.30) and 200-day SMA ($151.40), which are key support levels. Holding above these could be a good sign of a potential price recovery. Temporary Downtrend: Despite the dip, trading above these support levels suggests that this downturn might only be temporary. Bullish Solana Price Prediction from Analysts Analyst View: Crypto analyst Bhr Investor believes Solana could reach between $650 and $1,000 in the next bull run. Market Conditions: Bhr Investor emphasizes that more candlestick patterns are needed to confirm this prediction, and he’s closely watching for signs of upward momentum. Growth Outlook: If the market shifts positively, the potential for Solana to soar is strong, backed by its position and market dynamics. Rising Network Activity on Solana Increased Usage: Solana’s network is seeing increased usage, which positively affects its fees. Outperforming Ethereum: Recent data from DeFiLlama shows that Solana briefly surpassed Ethereum in daily network fee generation. Raydium's Role: This surge is largely due to high activity on Raydium, Solana’s leading decentralized exchange, which brought in over $3 million in a single day through fees. Long-Term Impact: With increasing adoption and usage, Solana’s utility is expanding, which could support a steady price climb. Price of Solana vs. Ethereum Ethereum's Position: Although Solana briefly outpaced Ethereum in network fees, Ethereum still holds the lead with $2.72 million in fees over the last 24 hours. Close Race: The margin between the two networks is narrowing, and Solana’s expanding activity could continue to close the gap, boosting its reputation in the DeFi space. Final Thoughts: Is Solana a Good Investment? Potential for Growth: Despite recent price drops, Solana has strong growth potential. As its network activity increases, the price of Solana may see upward momentum. Future Outlook: With experts forecasting a Solana price range of $650 to $1,000 in the next bull run, the long-term outlook appears promising. Bullish Sentiment: Prominent crypto enthusiasts like Evan Luthra are bullish on Solana, seeing it as one of the top coins to watch alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.

    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis It appears the current Gold pullback is completed and the commodity could be set to continue the all-time bullish trend to a fresh record high. From the Elliott wave theory perspective, Gold is expected to rally further to 2800 and beyond before the next pullback starts. Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, Gold completed the cycle degree wave II in October 2023 at 1810. Thus, the current bullish cycle can be traced to that date. Currently, the price is in wave ((iii)) of 5 of (3) of ((3)) of III. This indicates that Gold still has the potential to rally another 30-50% from the current price. Thus, buyers should be interested in buying pullbacks. H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the price is in wave (iv) of ((iii)) which appears to have finished or may do a double zigzag if the current bounce from 2701 is corrective. A zigzag structure has been completed and the next price action will determine whether recovery for wave (v) of ((iii)) will happen or wave (iv) will drop lower in a double zigzag structure. Whichever is the case, Gold is expected to continue to the upside to complete wave ((iii)) before the next pullback in ((iv)) starts.
