With 5 weeks of this Trial Period to go is there any sign, any news updates regarding what ESMA intend doing? Are they sticking with these new restrictions or are they going to go back to the old rules?

The biggest implication is that traders are flowing out of EU-based brokerages into the brokerages that still offer 1:100-500 leverages. Not much will change besides that.
Well US traders are already forced to follow stupid US rules over the globe
EU will maybe force the same.

The end of October is nearby.
ESMA should be either prolonged or cancelled.
IMHO it will remain here forever.

Did they say how long they would be prolonged? Or is this just a perminant thing now?

I don't know why they don't just say it is a permanent thing. It clearly is going to be renewed forever

BTW ESMA should be over
Contracts for Differences (from 1 August 2018) - a restriction on the marketing, distribution or sale of CFDs to retail investors. This restriction consists of: leverage limits on opening positions; a margin close out rule on a per account basis; a negative balance protection on a per account basis; preventing the use of incentives by a CFD provider; and a firm specific risk warning delivered in a standardised way
Next steps
MiFIR gives ESMA the power to introduce temporary intervention measures on a three monthly basis. Before the end of the three months, ESMA will review the product intervention measures and consider the need to extend them for a further three months.
At least I have not seen any decision to prolong it

I think 1:50 is enough leverage for most people. If you are good then you can still make money. If you then this will help you minimise losses
'Of course, the authorities believe that these regulations serve to limit the losses of bad traders (which they do, to an extent), but it is not the availability of leverage that wipes traders out – it’s the lack of education and discipline on the trader’s part.
In my view, the only real difference such regulations make is that instead of taking 3 months to wipe out a bad trader’s capital, it may now take 9 months. But the end result is still the same. Bad traders will keep losing until they improve. The availability of leverage has little to do with their losses.
Similar to the effect of diversification, reduced leverage protects losing traders while punishing the winning ones.'

Basically, a number of traders are interested on only higher trading leverage; although they don’t underrated the calculations on trading leverage.

I was always postulating the fact low leverage makes you lose money.
Nowadays got this confirmed. From whom? From ESMA itself:)

Hallo :-)
Somebody told me that ESMA are planing to force non-european brokers like the Australian brokers to the same conditions as the brokers in EU under ESMA for citizins of the EU.
Do anybody know anything about this or if its true or not at all?
Cause if can find anything about it on the web or on ESMAs homepage.

It is nuts that the EU just ignore the data that they do not like. So this proves that lower leverage is a bad idea and what to the EU do, they just carry on regardless.

Even; 1:30 is really too small! I think; retail traders need 1:100 trading leverage for trading!
