Foreign currency trading

On september 10, 2010, the CFTC published in the federal register final regulations concerning off-exchange retail foreign currency transactions. (75 fed. Reg. 55410.) the rules implement provisions of the dodd-frank wall street reform and consumer protection act and the food, conservation, and energy act of 2008, which, together, provide the CFTC with broad authority to register and regulate entities wishing to serve as counterparties to, or to intermediate, retail foreign exchange (forex) transactions. The final rules become effective october 18, 2010.

The final forex rules put in place requirements for, among other things, registration, disclosure, recordkeeping, financial reporting, minimum capital and other business conduct and operational standards. Specifically, the regulations require the registration of counterparties offering retail foreign currency contracts as either futures commission merchants (fcms) or retail foreign exchange dealers (rfeds), a new category of registrant. Persons who solicit orders, exercise discretionary trading authority or operate pools with respect to retail forex also will be required to register, either as introducing brokers, commodity trading advisors, commodity pool operators (as appropriate) or as associated persons of such entities. “otherwise regulated” entities, such as financial institutions and SEC-registered brokers or dealers, remain able to serve as counterparties in such transactions under the oversight of their primary regulators.

The final rules include financial requirements designed to ensure the financial integrity of firms engaging in retail forex transactions and robust customer protections. For example, fcms and rfeds are required to maintain net capital of $20 million plus 5 percent of the amount, if any, by which liabilities to retail forex customers exceed $10 million. Leverage in retail forex customer accounts will be subject to a security deposit requirement to be set by the national futures association within limits provided by the commission. All retail forex counterparties and intermediaries are required to distribute forex-specific risk disclosure statements to customers and comply with comprehensive recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

In 2001, 2002, and 2007 – prior to the release of the proposed and final rules – the commission and division of clearing and intermediary oversight had issued a number of advisories regarding foreign currency trading by retail customers. These advisories are superseded and no longer effective.

US regulations for forex brokers

Foreign currency exchanges (forex) run constantly across the globe through over-the-counter markets. The boundaryless space allows seamless access. For example, an australian trader can trade in euros and japanese yen (EURJPY) through a U.S.-based broker despite geographical boundaries.

Speculative trading in the retail forex market continues to grow. As a result, there can be intermediaries (banks or brokers) who engage in financial irregularities, scams, exorbitant charges, hidden fees and high-risk exposure offered through high-leverage levels or other bad practices. Internet and mobile app-based trading allow smooth trading processes, but they also add the risk of unrecognized sites that may close unexpectedly and abscond with investors’ money. Regulations ensure such practices are avoided. Regulations are aimed at protecting individual investors and ensuring fair operations to safeguard clients’ interests.

The most important criteria when selecting a forex broker are the regulatory approval status of the broker and its governing authority.

How U.S. Authorities regulate forex brokerage accounts

The national futures association (NFA) is the “premier independent provider of efficient and innovative regulatory programs that safeguard the integrity of the derivatives markets” (including forex). The scope of NFA activities is as follows:

After due diligence, provide necessary licenses to eligible forex brokers to conduct forex trading business.

Enforce required adherence to necessary capital requirements.

Combat fraud.

Enforce detailed record-keeping and reporting requirements regarding all transactions and related business activities.

A detailed regulatory guide is available on the official NFA website.

Key provisions of U.S. Regulations:

The customer is defined as "individuals with assets of less than $10 million and most small businesses," underscoring that these regulations are meant to protect the small investor. High-net-worth individuals may not be covered under standard regulated forex brokerage accounts.

Available leverage is limited to 50:1 (or a deposit requirement of only 2% on the notional value of a forex transaction) on the major currencies so that uneducated investors do not take unprecedented risks. Major currencies are defined as the british pound, the swiss franc, the canadian dollar, the japanese yen, the euro, the australian dollar, the new zealand dollar, the swedish krona, the norwegian krone, and the danish krone.

Available leverage is limited to 20:1 (or 5% of the notional transaction value) on minor currencies.

For short forex options, the notional transaction value amount plus the option premium received should be maintained as a security deposit.

For long forex options, the entire option premium is required as security.

The first-in-first-out (FIFO) rule prevents holding simultaneous positions in the same forex asset, that is, any existing trade position (buy/sell) in a particular currency pair will be squared off for the opposite position (sell/buy) in the same currency pair. This also implies no possibility of hedging while trading forex.

Money owed by the forex broker to the customers should be held only at one or more qualifying institutions in the united states or in money-center countries.

How U.S. Regulations differ

Care should be taken to verify ownership, status, and the location of each forex trading firm, website or app before signing up for a trading account. There are many websites claiming low brokerage charges and high leverage (allowing more trading exposure with less capital); some as high as 1000:1. However, almost all sites are hosted and operated from outside the united states and may not be approved by the concerned authority in the host country. Even those authorized locally may not have regulations that apply to U.S. Residents. Regulations on offered leverage, required deposits, reporting requirements, and investor protections will vary by country.

Here is a list of forex brokerage regulators for a few select countries:

Australia - australian securities and investments commission (ASIC)

Cyprus - cyprus securities and exchange commission (cysec)

Russia - federal financial markets service (FFMS)

South africa - financial sector conduct authority (FSCA)

Switzerland - swiss federal banking commission (SFBC)

United kingdom - financial services authority (FSA)

Verifying a broker’s regulatory status

The NFA provides an online verification system called background affiliation status information center (BASIC) where the status of U.S.-based forex brokerage firms can be verified using their NFA ID, firm name, individual name or pool name. Care should be taken to use the correct name/ID in the correct form as many forex broker firms are known by different names (e.G., a website name may be different from the legal corporate name).

The bottom line:

Financial regulations are complex and often change as markets develop. They also attempt to strike a balance. Too little regulation may lead to ineffective investor protection while too much regulation can result in reduced global competitiveness and dampen economic activity.

How to avoid forex trading scams in 2021

Forex markets trade trillions of dollars a day. Traders around the globe are always looking for the best broker to trade forex, cfds, binary options, stocks, cryptocurrencies, etc. With new forex brokers popping up constantly, determining the legitimacy of a broker can be a real challenge. As a consumer, it is vital to research a company before depositing money to trade. At forexbrokers.Com, it’s our mission to assist you as much as possible with that research.

Questions to ask to avoid a forex trading scam

Is the broker regulated?

If regulated, how trustworthy is the regulatory body?

Is the broker offering profits or rewards for opening an account?

Is the broker offering a cash bonus for opening an account?

Is the broker offering automatic trades or signals to guarantee profits?

Is any credible information about the company included on its website, such as company history, financials, headquarters' address, or similar?

If awards are cited, can I verify their authenticity?

If a big corporate sponsorship is promoted (e.G. Athlete sponsorship), am I doing my due dilligence to ensure the company can be trusted?

1) is the broker regulated?

Unregulated brokers do not have to report to a governing body. This means that if they scam you in any way, whether it be “glitches” or “malfunctions” causing sever slippage in their system, or you go to make a withdrawal and they don’t process it (steal your money), you are out of luck. Beyond posting a bad review online, there is little you can do because these brokers have no legal authority to answer to.

How do I check if a broker is regulated? The easiest way to check a broker’s registration is to look for it at the bottom of the website. The picture below is the bottom of 12trader, a broker we recommend avoiding. You’ll notice that nowhere in this picture is a regulatory body mentioned. The “about us” pages on the site link to an account login prompt. Nowhere on the site is there any mention of regulation or company history. All of these warning signs should make you cautious.

Now let’s look at the bottom of the homepage of city index, a trusted and regulated broker.

You will notice 1) the company specifically warns of the risks involved in trading cfds, 2) the company is registered in england and wales and has posted an address, and 3) the company is authorized and regulated by the financial conduct authority, and has posted a registration number.

Conclusion: A regulated broker is required to include proper risk disclaimers and regulatory information at the bottom of all their website pages. To make it easy for investors, forexbrokers.Com includes a trust score for each broker, which assesses overall trustworthiness based on where the broker is regulated and its history as a firm.

2) if regulated, how trustworthy is the regulatory body?

Some scam brokers claim to be regulated and registered by a governing body that does not monitor or regulate forex companies.

For example, let’s look at evolve markets.

The disclosures at the bottom of the homepage give the appearance of a regulated broker. There is a warning of the risks of trading cfds, and there is a legal section. Upon further examination of the legal section, you’ll notice that while the firm is registered as an international broker company in st. Vincent & the grenadines, it is not regulated.

This statement from st. Vincent & the grenadines shows there is a warning against false claims of registration or license.

How do I know what regulatory bodies are legitimate?

Forex brokers that are regulated in a major hub are always more trustworthy. Brokers in emerging hubs can also be trustworthy, but caution is warranted. Based on our annual study of regulatory trustworthiness, here is a list of the regulatory bodies we track and how trustworthy each one is:

FCA regulated – financial conduct authority – united kingdom – (great)

Cysec regulated – cyprus securities & exchange commission – cyprus (OK)

ASIC regulated – australian securities & investment commission – australia (good)

SFC authorized – securities futures commission – hong kong (good)

MAS authorized – monetary authority of singapore – singapore (good)

FSA authorized – financial services agency – japan (good)

IIROC authorized – investment industry regulatory organization of canada – canada (good)

FINMA authorized – swiss financial market supervisory authority – switzerland (good)

FMA authorized – financial markets authority – new zealand (OK)

Conclusion: double check the authority of the governing body that regulates the broker you are looking at. You can go to the website of the governing body to search for the registration number and verify its legitimacy. To help investors find a trusted broker where they live, we have created country-specific forex broker guides.

3) is the broker offering profits or rewards for opening an account?

Scam brokers often make claims such as “make $50 a day from a $250 investment” or “make 80% returns on profit signals” or “96% success rate.” these claims are a scam, regardless of whether they are being made for forex, cfds, or binary options. Forex brokers should not promise returns at all, small or large. Simply put, if a broker is promising to make you money, it is a scam. Other common scam practices include advertising pictures of expensive cars that are given away to lucky investors.

This wikipedia page on binary options does a great job of summarizing risks related to binary options:

"many binary option "brokers" have been exposed as fraudulent operations. In those cases, there is no real brokerage; the customer is betting against the broker, who is acting as a bucket shop. Manipulation of price data to cause customers to lose is common. Withdrawals are regularly stalled or refused by such operations; if a client has good reason to expect payment, the operator will simply stop taking their phone calls. Though binary options sometimes trade on a regulated exchange, they are generally unregulated, trading on the internet, and prone to fraud."

Conclusion: if a binary options or forex broker promises you big returns on your money, this is a clear sign of a scam. You will not make $100,000 on a mega-trade; you will not make a 96% profit in 30 seconds; and you will not win a $40,000 car by depositing $2,000. Save your money and STAY AWAY.

4) is the broker offering a cash bonus for opening an account?

When a broker offers an abnormally high cash bonus, is not regulated, and does not show offer details for the bonus, then you are likely dealing with a scam broker. For example, 1000extra hints at a bonus of $1,000 with their vague promotional offer. If you click around trying to gather more information you are redirected to sign up for an account.

1000extra is not regulated, has minimal information about the company, and has scam reports across the web.

Conclusion: in most regulated regions around the world, promotional bonuses for opening a new account are not allowed. The two exceptions are the united states, which is for US citizens only, and asia.

5) is the broker offering automatic trades or signals to guarantee profits? Continue reading
