Brokers' License; A voluntary action?

Discussion in 'Risk Management' started by forexpolice, Feb 24, 2014.

  1. This is a question that bothers me. All regulated brokers are given licenses from each regulatory bodies. Is this a voluntary action by the forex brokers or did the government force regulation on them? If it is a voluntary action by Brokers, does the regulatory bodies have the power to shut down a broker for illegal activities?

    Your kind answers will be appreciated.

    FX in the USA is regulated by the NFA/CFTC. Yes, they can shut them down.
