An industry-wide legislation set forth by the European Securities and Markets Authorities (ESMA) has called for a temporary restriction of the marketing, distribution or sale of contracts for differences (CFDs) to retail clients. The new measures which will take effect on August 1st 2018 will consist of:
• leverage restrictions according to asset type
• margin close-out rules
• negative balance protection
• a limit of CFD marketing
