Among the most challenging rules to adapt to is that Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), the French financial regulatory body, dictates that all new positions must be opened with a stop loss set by the trader, that stop loss being both guaranteed by the broker and unchangeable. The aim is that clients will only be able to lose either less than or exactly what they originally anticipated on every position.

The trend we see is for trader protection. In particular, limiting client losses according to their means. Most of the developments for Social Trading were based on providing a questionnaire from which the system can limit the loss and exposure.
We know that we need to adapt our products to changes in EU regulation. We enable brokers to cross borders in order to expand and we give tools for marketing automation, with Optim8, to optimize conversion and retention on a larger scale. It is a time of transition in the EU and regulation is one factor that is reducing the profit margin per user. Brokers will have to attract more traders from more markets to compensate. Having a combination of a compliant trading platform and marketing automation is the first step – and Leverate is committed to providing these."
