Show full header With regard to off-exchange forex (trading that is not conducted on an organized exchange or board of trade), the Commission's jurisdiction is set out in Section 2(c)(2)(B) of the Commodity Exchange Act (the "Act"). Generally, the Commission has jurisdiction over transactions in forex futures and options contracts offered to retail customers, and the only counterparties that can lawfully enter into these contracts with retail customers on an off-exchange basis are persons that are registered with the Commission as a futures commission merchant (FCM), or that are certain affiliates of an FCM, or that are otherwise regulated entities, e.g., a registered securities broker-dealer, a bank, a financial institution or an insurance company. The foregoing may be found on the Commission's website, http://www.cftc.gov. Specifically, the Act is found at http://www.access.gpo.gov/uscode/title7/chapter1_.html and information on forex, including registration requirements for forex participants, is found at http://www.cftc.gov/customerprotection/fraudawarenessandprevention/forex /index.htm. You may find general information about any firm or individual registered with the Commission, including any actions taken against a registrant, in the NFA Background Affiliation Status Information Center ("BASIC"), on the NFA website at: http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/welcome.aspx. Additionally, if you have questions concerning the financial condition of a firm registered as an FCM, please refer to the FCM's most recent financial filing at http://www.cftc.gov/marketreports/financialdataforfcms/index.htm. As a matter of policy, the staff of the Commission does not comment on the advisability of trading with any particular firm. Sincerely Kevin P.
