See the Note, below. And under current law, the CFTC has no authority over individual traders who trade through foreign brokers that are beyond the reach of U. S regulation. The U. government claims the authority, through the IRS, to require U. residents to report foreign accounts which we hold — bank accounts, brokerage accounts, etc.

But, they cannot yet prevent us from having those accounts. The CFTC, and their sock-puppet the NFA, are behaving like the rest of the Nanny State: They are acting like our rulers, rather than our public servants.

These people seem to believe they have the right and the power to do anything they want to do. Soon after we began this search for offshore forex brokers, we discovered that the CFTC and other U. regulatory agencies have their tentacles deep inside many foreign governments, through a series of nasty, little agreements known as Memoranda of Understanding. These agreements have effectively extended U. regulation to cover U. residents doing business in countries which have signed the agreements.

There still are countries where these agreements do not yet exist — and we are eager to find reliable brokers within those countries who will do business with us. And there are a few offshore brokers, in Memorandum countries, who have the courage to defy the over-reaching U. regulatory authorities, and welcome U. residents as clients — and we are eager to identify these brokers, and to consider client relationships with them. Earlier this week, I called ACM in Switzerland, and dbFX in New York, and specifically asked whether they are subject to CFTC regulation in any way, and whether they accept U.

residents as clients. ACM Advanced Currency Markets, Geneva, Switzerland is completely beyond the reach of the CFTC. They have canceled their plans to open a U. subsidiary it was to be called ACM-US , and they now have no U. ACM is regulated by FINMA in Switzerland; they have an application pending with the Swiss banking authorities to become a Swiss bank; and they welcome U.

Here is the ACM website — Online Forex Trading Currency Trading ACM. dbFX is the retail forex brokerage division of Deutsche Bank. As a bank, Deutsche Bank is domiciled and regulated in Germany.

But, their forex operation, dbFX, is domiciled in the U. Deutsche Bank the German-domiciled bank has a large presence in the U.

dbFX the U. I have placed my name on a list of people to be notified when that determination is made, and I will pass that info on to you, when I get it. Here is the dbFX website — Forex Trading Online Currency Trading Rates FX Research dbFX. Have you looked at Dukascopy at all? I currently use DukC and like em as a broker. I spoke with them yesterday to make sure that the CFTC NFA crap would not affect my account.

Hope all is well with you. I have pretty much deforumed if thats the word due to the fact that I have a fulltime job, as well as try to trade as much as possible, so something has to go.

I do check in now and then but nothing like 6 or 8 months ago when I spent hours a week reading and commenting. Glad to see you still over here. dukascopy is not going to accept US clients, from what I was told. If you have any information to the contrary please let me know. Thanks for the info. I approached them a few days ago, and they said the wouldnt accept us clients.

Maybe I was speaking to someone uninformed over there. I am going to call them again. It seems as though most of the AUS firms will continue to accept us clients, vantage, gomarkets, forex fs. Plus the two from panama forex-metal, and eforex. Additionally, while I understand the issue with us based companies with international affiliates having to comply with the CFTC.

What is the primary issue for non CFTC regulated firms refusing to accept us clients? If the CFTC has no jurisdiction, what could they possibly do? Does anyone know anything about liteforex I could not find any US locations listed on the website.

I am interested in liteforex because of the small trade size allowed. Clint I totally agree with your sentiment and frustration with our government making regulations under the pretense of protecting ourselves from ourselves. Its BS!! In reality a leverage cap should not affect a trader that uses any sort of risk management and has a few bucks in the account.

The new regs as they are now will probably not affect my trading much. Its that dam slippery slope that has lower margin limits, higher minimum balances, limits on trade frequency, fees on transactions trades , and the big one even higher taxes at the bottom of the slope that has me worried and considering finding a way to move offshore. Epic post Clint! Im a US resident and im moving out by FOREX account, due to NFA being a puppet!

Edit: I would also like to ask: As a US citizen, is my capital covered by EU, FSA, FINMA regulations if the broker I choose is regulated with one of these institutions? I was using this particular site mainly because it has a longer list of brokers over than any other site that I am aware of. These lists have to be taken as raw data, at this point.

The brokers listed here may or may not meet your particular criteria for a forex broker. For example, these lists have not been filtered for any of the following criteria: 1 are U.

It supposedly allows you to search for brokers based on almost any criteria you can think of: country, language, regulation, type of platform, pip spreads, etc. However, the search feature seems to search only the minimal data which has been displayed by the brokers themselves in their respective listings, and this leads to search results that can be bizarre.

For example, I filtered the entire list of over brokers with just two criteria: 1 brokers in the United States, and 2 brokers who accept U. Obviously, every broker in the U. accepts U. brokers, the search feature returned 51 broker names. So, those are the search criteria I used to compile the lists shown above. Too cool. Clint I just had a look at those banks you are not mistaken in your observation.

to funny. Thank you for the list Clint. I am going to talk to as many as I can today, and get answers regarding US clients for anyone that is interested.

Once the coins are completely wiped out, people will resort to buying these larger silver bars because those are the only things left.

This effort, however, can only be maintained temporarily. At some point, gold and silver prices leap skywards, achieving their real world value against a collapsing dollar currency. coins , because at current prices, they represent the deal of a lifetime. After the British Sterling collapses, and the Euro collapses, and the Yen collapses, and the dollar is on its way out, gold and silver will be the immutable assets that hold value through the annihilation of fiat currencies and bankrupt nations.

Whoever holds gold and silver can protect their assets from the wipeout, then they can use physical gold and silver to purchase large assets at deep discounts: Vehicles, businesses, factories, large tracts of land, airplanes, agricultural equipment and so on.

Here is an updated list of the offshore brokers vetted so far in this thread, and the results of our inquiry into whether these brokers will open new accounts for U. residents, given the current regulatory regime imposed by the CFTC on retail forex trading in the United States. Information on platforms, initial deposit, leverage, and spreads was obtained from broker websites.

In some cases, this information is not readily retrievable. If you are able to fill in any of the missing information below, please do. In each of the listings below unless noted otherwise , the account referenced is the account requiring the smallest initial deposit. Several brokers in Group 1 accept bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies for deposit and withdrawal. Several brokers host cryptocurrency trading. In the listings below, cryptocurrency particulars are shown for these brokers.

It is not practical to show spreads for all currency pairs, for each broker. For information on this option, see THIS POST. Five of the brokers in Group 1 are designated as Trusted Brokers. In each case, the designation of Trusted Broker was determined by a consensus of thread participants — primarily participants who trade live accounts with the broker being vetted.

During the first year of this thread — from September to September — we found and listed over offshore brokers who at that time would accept new U.

One by one, all of those brokers — except one — have caved to pressure from the CFTC to sever ties with their U. In late and early , we added several brokers to our List — only one of which, FxGlory, survives to this day. Then, for 3½ years, none of the new offshore brokers we found and added to our List managed to stay on our List, again, due to the threats and intimidation of the CFTC — aided and abetted by various regulatory agencies in other countries acting in concert with the CFTC — which was and is bringing pressure to bear on any foreign broker who dares to do business with Americans.

Between and , we were able to add and retain four new offshore brokers: LMFX, LQDFX, Turnkey Forex, and Coinexx. In , we added EagleFX to our List. Unfortunately, Real Trade, a broker which had been on our List for more than 7 years, went out of business and was removed from the List in October In , we added three new brokers — AAFX, HankoTrade, and SageFX. And we designated two new Trusted Brokers — LQDFX and EagleFX. In , we lost 2 brokers. and added one broker. In the loss column, FXBrew on our List since August has gone out of business; and PaxForex one of our legacy brokers, dating back to no longer accepts U.

In the plus column, in March , we added ProsperityFX, as the eleventh broker on our current List. In , our List remained unchanged through October. In November, we removed Sage FX, after being informed that they will no longer host new U. Then in December, we added Cedar FX , restoring the total number of Group 1 brokers to eleven. We continue to monitor the performance of our offshore brokers to be sure that they continue living up to the standards that got them onto the List.

And we continue to look for new offshore brokers who meet our criteria. Here is a list of our Group 1 brokers, arranged in chronological order according to the dates on which they were added to our List.
