Forex brokers in the United States
Which brokers hold a local licence in the United States, which international brokers accept residents, and what to check first.
Retail forex in the United States may only be offered by dealers registered with the CFTC that are members of the National Futures Association. CFDs are not available to US retail clients, which is why the list of brokers is short.
What to check first
Look the firm up in the NFA’s BASIC database. Leverage is capped at 50:1 on major pairs, hedging in one account is not allowed, and any overseas broker offering to open an account for a US resident should be treated as a red flag.
Local regulator: CFTC/NFA

Leveraged forex trading involves a significant risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. CFDs are not available to US residents; only firms registered with the CFTC and the NFA may offer retail forex in the United States.
