When it comes to trading on Cabin Bubble or using its social trading features, we encourage responsible behaviour among all our users. Our “responsible trading policy” calls on traders to protect themselves from emotional decision making that can result in unnecessary losses.
Novice traders, in particular, tend to rely more on “gut feelings,” because they don’t necessarily have a lot of experience in financial trading to make rational and informed choices.
To help traders avoid making rash online trading decisions, Cabin Bubble, in accordance with local financial regulators, recommends the following:
Maximum leverage according to the following list:
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;
Place no more than 20% of your equity on one trade The key factors of smart investing are low leverage and portfolio diversity, a fact attested to by the portfolios of Cabin Bubble’s top traders.
