Question
Hello:

Is it safe to use a currency broker outside of the United States? What do you recommend?

I thank you for your reply.

Answer
The NFA (National Futures Association) regulates foreign and commodity dealers.  Make sure the company is registered with the NFA to avoid fraudulent companies.  Also check to make sure (with the NFA) what the company's registration status is and how many complaints have been made against it.  If it's not registered with the NFA, stay away.
