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.

Prepared from reviewed sources for informational purposes. This is not investment advice.

Editorial note: The entity list is based on official jurisdictional pages reviewed on the access date and may not cover every inactive, non-client-facing or newly added group company. An NFA enforcement action from 2022 is recorded below; current account terms were not exhaustively mapped across all entities.
