What is changing?
The ESMA measures include the implementation of a standard risk warning as well as a negative balance protection but most importantly,they also introduce maximum leverage limits and an increased liquidation level.
From 29th July, the liquidation level on your account will increase from 20% to 50% and the following leverage restrictions will apply:
Product | ESMA Leverage Restriction |
Major currency pairs* | 30:1 |
Non-major currency pairs | 20:1 |
Gold and major indices** | 20:1 |
Commodities (other than gold) and non-major equity indices | 10:1 |
Other products | 5:1 |
Cryptocurrencies | 2:1 |
*major currency pairs are defined as any pair comprising two of the following: US Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar or Swiss Franc.
**major indices are defined as: FTSE 100, CAC 40, DAX 30, DJIA, S&P 500, NASDAQ, NASDAQ 100, Nikkei 225, ASX 200, EURO STOXX 50

Please note that if you meet the FCA’s criteria and elect to be treated as a professional client, the restrictions will not affect you and trading conditions on your account will remain unchanged. Please click here for more information.
What do these changes mean and what do I need to do?
The changes mean that you will have to hold considerably more money in your account in order to fund a position(s).
For example, on the current margin requirements, a 1 lot trade in EURUSD (at an open price of 1.1850) would require you to hold $296.25 in margin. After this date, the same trade will need $3,950.
Please note that your existing positions will not be affected; the new margin requirements will only be applied to new positions opened on or after the 29th July.
