Do you think it is a good idea for them to provide their customers a choice to opt-out of that lower leverage "protection" ?

The French presidential election is coming up.

I just receive an email from my broker notifying me about it.  My broker is going to lower down my trading leverage from 1:500 to 1:50

Did Anyone else receive an email alert from their Broker about lowering down leverage?

I just got a reply back from my broker saying that they don't allow me to opt-out of the low leverage "protection scheme".

It looks like they don't want people with high leverage to make money during this French election's price volatility.
