Tópico: Indo para o exterior para escapar da CFTC quarta-feira, 7 de dezembro de 2016 (as mudanças recentes nos posts 1 a 5 são mostradas em vermelho) Aqui está uma lista atualizada dos corretores offshore verificados até agora neste tópico, e os resultados de nosso inquérito se esses corretores abrirão novas contas para residentes nos EUA, dado o atual regime regulatório imposto pela CFTC ao forex de varejo dos EUA. DEFINIÇÃO DE CORRETOR OFFSHORE Uma corretora varejista de forex domiciliada em uma jurisdição fora dos EUA, não sujeita aos regulamentos da CFTC dos EUA e / ou da NFA. Corretores que continuarão a aceitar novos clientes dos EUA Informações sobre plataformas, depósito inicial, alavancagem e spreads foram obtidas de sites de corretores. Em alguns casos, essas informações não são prontamente recuperáveis. Se você é capaz de preencher qualquer uma das informações que faltam abaixo, por favor, faça. Alguns corretores oferecem mais de um tipo / tamanho de conta de forex (micro, mini, etc.). Em cada uma das listagens abaixo, a conta mencionada é a conta que exige o menor depósito inicial. Não é prático mostrar spreads para todos os pares de moedas, para cada corretor. Em vez disso, dois spreads - para o EUR / USD e o GBP / JPY --- são exibidos para cada corretor, como uma representação aproximada do menu de spread. Informações de contato por e-mail e telefone estão incluídas para cada corretor no Grupo 1 para aqueles que desejam fazer seu contato inicial sem visitar o site de corretores. Para mais informações sobre essa opção, consulte ESTE POST. Os corretores offshore do Grupo 1 foram discutidos e revisados em vários posts ao longo deste segmento. Para LINKS para posts recentes (recuando 3 anos) relacionados com os corretores do Grupo 1, consulte o Post 7. Dois dos corretores do Grupo 1 são designados como Corretores Confiáveis.

What follows (below) was originally the first post in this thread, way back in September 2010. September 24, 2010 Going Offshore to Escape the CFTC On the Broker Aid Station forum, a discussion got started about trading through foreign brokers who are outside the jurisdiction of the CFTC. That particular topic really doesnt belong on that forum. So, Im opening this thread, as a place where that topic can be continued. Ill start this thread with a rant about the CFTC (because I have some ranting to get off my chest). Then, in subsequent posts, we can talk about specific foreign brokers, and whether there are advantages to trading with them. But, first things first. Heres my rant: Getting free of the CFTC, the NFA, and the rest of the Nanny State Weve been conned. By Gary Gensler, the head of the CFTC. On another thread, I called Gensler quota sneaky, little weaselquot, and I stand by that description. Gensler set up a straw-man --- the 10:1 leverage limit --- and we all bravely attacked and destroyed the straw-man, thinking it was the enemy. In 9,000 public comments to the CFTC, we battled against that 10:1 straw-man, and we tore it to shreds and we said, quotIf you ram this 10:1 thing down our throats, well take our business offshore. quot All the while, Gary Gensler and his crew were saying, quotGotcha --- youll take 50:1 . and youll thank us for it. And, by the way, like hell youll take your trading business offshorequot The CFTC never intended to impose a 10:1 leverage limit on retail forex in the U. S. From the very beginning, their objective was 50:1 and they achieved their objective completely. The phony 10:1 proposed limit was so extreme that we were relieved when the CFTC quotrelentedquot, when they quotlistened to the voice of the forex communityquot, when they set the leverage limit at 50:1, instead. Gensler wrote the sheet-music, and we sang the song. Have we been had, or what Many reasonable folks, including several on this forum, have pointed out the hazards of using too much leverage, and have endorsed the new CFTC limit. Which misses the point entirely. It is not the proper business of government to regulate the way we live our lives. It is not the proper business of government to tell us how many calories we may consume, or how much we may drink, or how much of our paychecks we may spend on lottery tickets, or HOW MUCH FOREX LEVERAGE WE MAY USE. And its not the proper business of government to tell U. S. residents where they may do their banking, or where they may do their trading. Finally, its not the proper business of government to tell U. S. forex brokers where they may set up foreign branches, or whom they may accept as customers in those foreign branches. It is appropriate for the government to require brokers to furnish full and honest disclosure of the risks involved in forex trading, and to furnish full and honest disclosure of the terms and conditions of the trading accounts which they offer. And it is appropriate for the government to prosecute fraud wherever and whenever it occurs in any of the financial markets. Beyond that, the government has no legitimate role, and they should butt out. The CFTC has U. S. forex brokers by the throat: by threatening their ability to do business in the U. S. the CFTC can interfere with the rights of those brokers to do business outside the U. S. But, the CFTC has no authority over foreign brokers who operate entirely outside the U. S. 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. S. government claims the authority, through the IRS, to require U. S. 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. Theyve never had that right, and they never will have it. They may have the power --- but, not for long. END OF RANT Edit (8/26/13) --- The statement marked with a red asterisk, above, is not entirely correct. Soon after we began this search for offshore forex brokers, we discovered that the CFTC (and other U. S. 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. S. regulation to cover U. S. 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. S. regulatory authorities, and welcome U. S. residents as clients --- and we are eager to identify these brokers, and to consider client relationships with them. Some things I learned this week about ACM and dbFX 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. S. residents as clients. Heres what I was told: ACM (Advanced Currency Markets, Geneva, Switzerland) is completely beyond the reach of the CFTC. They have canceled their plans to open a U. S. subsidiary (it was to be called ACM-US), and they now have no U. S. presence. 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. S. customers. Minimum deposit to open an account is 2,000. 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. K. and regulated by the FSA. dbFXs relationship to the CFTC is less clear-cut than ACMs. Deutsche Bank (the German-domiciled bank) has a large presence in the U. S. and some of their operations (other than forex) are regulated by the CFTC. dbFX (the U. K.-domiciled forex broker) is awaiting legal opinions on whether they fall under the jurisdiction of the CFTC in any way. 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. Last edited by Clint 10-24-2016 at 04:54 AM.

Thread: Going offshore to escape the CFTC Wednesday, December 7, 2016 (recent changes to posts 1 thru 5 are shown in red) 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. S. residents, given the current regulatory regime imposed by the CFTC on U. S. retail forex. DEFINITION OF OFFSHORE BROKER A retail forex broker domiciled in a jurisdiction outside the U. S. not subject to the regulations of the U. S. CFTC and/or NFA. Brokers Who Will Continue to Accept New U. S. Clients 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. Some brokers offer more than one type/size of forex account (micro, mini, etc.). In each of the listings below, the account referenced is the account requiring the smallest initial deposit. It is not practical to show spreads for all currency pairs, for each broker. Instead, two spreads --- for the EUR/USD and the GBP/JPY --- are shown for each broker, as a rough representation of their spread menu. Email and telephone contact info is included for each broker in Group 1 for those who wish to make their initial contact without visiting the brokers website. For more on this option, see THIS POST . The offshore brokers in Group 1 have been discussed and reviewed in various posts throughout this thread. For LINKS to recent posts (going back 3 years) relating to the Group 1 brokers, see Post 7 . Two of the brokers in Group 1 are designated as Trusted Brokers. In each case, the Trusted Broker designation was determined by a consensus of thread participants --- primarily participants who trade live accounts with the broker being vetted. Both of our Trusted Brokers were judged to be exemplary based on these criteria: (1) honesty and transparency in advertising their services, and in handling the funds and executing the trades of their clients and (2) compliance with the laws and regulations of the country in which they are domiciled.

What follows (below) was originally the first post in this thread, way back in September 2010. September 24, 2010 Going Offshore to Escape the CFTC On the Broker Aid Station forum, a discussion got started about trading through foreign brokers who are outside the jurisdiction of the CFTC. That particular topic really doesnt belong on that forum. So, Im opening this thread, as a place where that topic can be continued. Ill start this thread with a rant about the CFTC (because I have some ranting to get off my chest). Then, in subsequent posts, we can talk about specific foreign brokers, and whether there are advantages to trading with them. But, first things first. Heres my rant: Getting free of the CFTC, the NFA, and the rest of the Nanny State Weve been conned. By Gary Gensler, the head of the CFTC. On another thread, I called Gensler quota sneaky, little weaselquot, and I stand by that description. Gensler set up a straw-man --- the 10:1 leverage limit --- and we all bravely attacked and destroyed the straw-man, thinking it was the enemy. In 9,000 public comments to the CFTC, we battled against that 10:1 straw-man, and we tore it to shreds and we said, quotIf you ram this 10:1 thing down our throats, well take our business offshore. quot All the while, Gary Gensler and his crew were saying, quotGotcha --- youll take 50:1 . and youll thank us for it. And, by the way, like hell youll take your trading business offshorequot The CFTC never intended to impose a 10:1 leverage limit on retail forex in the U. S. From the very beginning, their objective was 50:1 and they achieved their objective completely. The phony 10:1 proposed limit was so extreme that we were relieved when the CFTC quotrelentedquot, when they quotlistened to the voice of the forex communityquot, when they set the leverage limit at 50:1, instead. Gensler wrote the sheet-music, and we sang the song. Have we been had, or what Many reasonable folks, including several on this forum, have pointed out the hazards of using too much leverage, and have endorsed the new CFTC limit. Which misses the point entirely. It is not the proper business of government to regulate the way we live our lives. It is not the proper business of government to tell us how many calories we may consume, or how much we may drink, or how much of our paychecks we may spend on lottery tickets, or HOW MUCH FOREX LEVERAGE WE MAY USE. And its not the proper business of government to tell U. S. residents where they may do their banking, or where they may do their trading. Finally, its not the proper business of government to tell U. S. forex brokers where they may set up foreign branches, or whom they may accept as customers in those foreign branches. It is appropriate for the government to require brokers to furnish full and honest disclosure of the risks involved in forex trading, and to furnish full and honest disclosure of the terms and conditions of the trading accounts which they offer. And it is appropriate for the government to prosecute fraud wherever and whenever it occurs in any of the financial markets. Beyond that, the government has no legitimate role, and they should butt out. The CFTC has U. S. forex brokers by the throat: by threatening their ability to do business in the U. S. the CFTC can interfere with the rights of those brokers to do business outside the U. S. But, the CFTC has no authority over foreign brokers who operate entirely outside the U. S. 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. S. government claims the authority, through the IRS, to require U. S. 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. Theyve never had that right, and they never will have it. They may have the power --- but, not for long. END OF RANT Edit (8/26/13) --- The statement marked with a red asterisk, above, is not entirely correct. Soon after we began this search for offshore forex brokers, we discovered that the CFTC (and other U. S. 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. S. regulation to cover U. S. 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. S. regulatory authorities, and welcome U. S. residents as clients --- and we are eager to identify these brokers, and to consider client relationships with them. Some things I learned this week about ACM and dbFX 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. S. residents as clients. Heres what I was told: ACM (Advanced Currency Markets, Geneva, Switzerland) is completely beyond the reach of the CFTC. They have canceled their plans to open a U. S. subsidiary (it was to be called ACM-US), and they now have no U. S. presence. 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. S. customers. Minimum deposit to open an account is 2,000. 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. K. and regulated by the FSA. dbFXs relationship to the CFTC is less clear-cut than ACMs. Deutsche Bank (the German-domiciled bank) has a large presence in the U. S. and some of their operations (other than forex) are regulated by the CFTC. dbFX (the U. K.-domiciled forex broker) is awaiting legal opinions on whether they fall under the jurisdiction of the CFTC in any way. 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. Last edited by Clint 10-24-2016 at 04:54 AM.

Have you looked at Dukascopy at all Theyre one of the largest, if not the largest, Swiss brokers as I understand it.
