Like the majority of retail investors trading with EU-regulated brokers, you probably consider the CFD leverage restrictions imposed by ESMA on 1st August 2018 as a serious hit to your strategy. Overleveraged positions and tight margin requirements have always been a burden and now it could be even more difficult to invest in such financial derivatives. But ask yourself if this is the whole story. What remained outside the focus of the media hype on the topic is the push for transparency. Although It's well-known that most of the people lose when trading CFDs, now the EU-regulated brokerage firms offering such products are obliged to disclose the actual number of losing accounts for the past 12 months.
At JFD we have always voted for maximum transparency demystifying the electronic trading industry. Therefore, our team has done an extensive research to shed light on the situation comparing a list of brokers based on the percentage of client accounts that are profitable when trading contracts for difference. The result illustrated in the chart shows once again that applying a true 100% DMA/STP execution model proven by post-trade transparency pays off in the long term. We invite you to test our solutions, build your portfolio and trade it in a zero-conflict-of-interest environment where your skills and knowledge matter the most to success.
