United StatesEach broker on this page is authorised by the National Futures Association (NFA), the Tier 1 regulatory body for forex trading in the United States. NFA-regulated brokers must impose a strict 1:50 leverage cap for retail forex accounts and maintain rigorous standards for client fund segregation and capital holdings. The NFA is known for active enforcement and supervision, making it one of the most stringent regulatory authorities worldwide. Only a small number of brokers hold NFA registration due to the strict compliance requirements and US residency restrictions.
