EU regulation terrible lowering of leverage

Monday (2 july '18) I got the notification about new EU rules lowering the leverage

30:1 for major currency pairs
20:1 for non-major currency pairs, gold and major indices
10:1 for commodities other than gold and non-major equity indices
5:1 for individual equities and other reference values
2:1 for cryptocurrencies

It looks like it, it is possible to do something about this. Even individually. Within this time window of 8 weeks. I propose to have a look at this.

--> Posting this on other fora to let more people know? Where, by who?
You have to become qualified investor. After I supplied all necessary documents, hotforex raised my leverage.
 
I don’t think that this regulation is related to traders qualifications, but with riskiness of leverage trading. EU just trying to avoid situations that many new traders are busted just by inexperienced use of over-leverage and losses incurred through it
