Professional broker overview
FindMyFX editorial summary
FOREX.com’s United States business is operated by GAIN Capital Group LLC, which the official NFA profile and broker regulatory page identify as an NFA member and CFTC-registered FCM/RFED under NFA ID 0339826. The brand also uses separate entities in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the Cayman Islands, so products, protections and trading limits depend on the contracting jurisdiction.
