What is CFTC regulation in the US?

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is a federal agency that regulates futures, options, and forex trading in the United States. CFTC ensures transparency, prevents fraud, and enforces compliance with trading laws. Forex brokers serving US residents must register with both the CFTC and the National Futures Association (NFA). CFTC regulation is among the strictest worldwide, requiring high capital reserves and strict reporting. It limits leverage to 1:50 for major pairs and 1:20 for minors, protecting retail investors from excessive risk. CFTC-regulated brokers are highly trustworthy, though fewer exist compared to other jurisdictions due to strict requirements.
