ESMA Margins

Question

Will IG change the EU ESMA Laws after Brexit in the UK?

 

Really need to know this as the new laws have made it virtually impossible for me to trade the way that i did before.

 

as the Law is EU based they should definitely consider changing the law or completely get rid of it all together.

Hey, 

Thanks for you message. No matter what happens with Brexit the FCA have announced that they will be keeping leverage the same for retail clients. You can read about this by following the link below:

It is unfortunate that the regulations have stopped some retail clients trading.

And it looks like Australia is going to go down the same route as well and as expected the new regulations have lead to a rise in brokerages starting up in less well regulated parts of the globe. There is an interesting new twist too with some of these new brokerages using Bitcoin for deposits and withdrawals which enables them to dodge other regulations such as a need for client proof of identity and residency as well as broker 'know your customer' documentation.

@Caseynotes You're quite right there are large changes in ACIS regarding margin.

With regards to the new brokerages allowing clients to fund with Bitcoin we have heard of it but not looking to offer this payment method to any offices.

ASIC Product intervention: OTC binary options and CFDs

Thanks for the reply, can you check the ASIC link - is coming up as 'page cannot be found'.

quick read stopped for the draghi presser but, 

so an outright ban on binary options for retail,  

and initial margin of at least (for retail): gold 5%, indices 6.67%, commods other than gold 10%, crypto 50%, all else 20%.  

can't find FX, surely not under 'all else 20%'? otherwise basically in line with ESMA.

FX same as for Gold  5% (20:1)  big drop from 200:1 - worse than esma (3.33% - 30:1)

    • Natural Gas Mode - Impulsive  Structure - Impulse Wave  Position - Wave (iii) of 5 Direction - Wave (iii) of 5 still in play   Details:  Price now in wave iii as it attempts to breach 1.65 wave i low. Wave (iii) is still expected to extend lower in an impulse.   Natural Gas is currently breaching the previous April low, marking a decisive move as the impulse initiated on 5th March continues its downward trajectory, further extending the overarching impulse wave sequence that commenced back in August 2022. This decline is anticipated to persist as long as the price remains below the critical resistance level of 2.012.   Zooming in on the daily chart, we observe the medium-term impulse wave originating from August 2022, which is persisting in its downward trend after completing its 4th wave - delineated as primary wave 4 in blue (circled) - at 3.666 in October 2023. Presently, the 5th wave, identified as primary blue wave 5, is underway, manifesting as an impulse at the intermediate degree in red. It is envisaged that the price will breach the February 2024 low of 1.533 as wave 5 of (3) seeks culmination before an anticipated rebound in wave (4). This confluence of price movements underscores the bearish sentiment prevailing over Natural Gas in the medium term.   Analyzing the H4 chart, we initiated the impulse wave count for wave (3) from the level of 2.012, which marks the termination point of wave 4. Notably, price action formed a 1-2-1-2 structure, with confirmation established at 1.65 and invalidation set at 2.012. The confirmation of our anticipated direction materialized as price breached the 1.65 mark, signifying a resumption of bearish momentum. Presently, there appears to be minimal resistance hindering the bears, thereby reinstating their dominance in the market. It is projected that wave iii of (iii) of 5 will manifest around 1.43, indicative of the potential for the wave 5 low to extend to 1.3 or even lower. This comprehensive analysis underscores the prevailing bearish outlook for Natural Gas in the immediate future.       Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
