Reading the menu: picking a CFD broker in United States

Start with a licence you can check for yourself, then weigh the ingredient costs, spreads, opening deposit, leverage and how cleanly the kitchen pays money back out. A locally or top-tier regulated broker gives you more recourse than an offshore-only name if a dish comes back wrong.

The kitchen inspection

The kitchens serving United States usually cook under CFTC, or under international inspectors such as the FCA, ASIC and CySEC. Confirm the licence number on the regulator's register, and make sure the broker actually seats United States clients, before you put any money on the table.
