United States Forex Broker Regulations: Minimum Excess Net Capital Raised To $20 Million

The CFTC has recently raised any Forex broker regulated in the United States' minimum excess net capital amount to $20 million. Put simply, a Forex broker based in the U.S. must have at least $20 million excess net capital on hand in order to financially guard against situations which may deplete their funds.

The United States has consistently been one of the more regulators of the Forex market, although these regulations are still loose at best compared to those of the stock & future markets.

use an offshore broker ;-)

I think this is a good option, using a non-us broker would be good. Just that some of us fear if they are regulated or not, but this is not an issue in my opinion. For instance, my broker Profiforex is a non-US broker.But despite this, am enjoying my time with them, and i think they do welcome non-us traders.
