The first study uses United States retail foreign exchange traders after the 18 October 2010 compliance date with European traders as the control. The second uses 49,696 investors on one European platform from March to December 2018, with non EU residents of the same platform as the control.

The United States 50 to 1 cap raised the high minus low return by 18 percentage points against European traders. The European caps cut leverage used by 1.87 and sent the same investors into higher volatility shares and cryptocurrency instead.
