Best forex brokers United States — verification framework
Verification first
Ignore star ratings and paid testimonials. Identify the entity, open the regulator register, read costs, then test a small withdrawal.
- Legal entity on agreement
- Register status active for the product you trade
- Product / leverage rules for your residency
- All-in trading costs on your symbols
- Withdrawal rail test
Public registers to open
- CFTC — Commodity Futures Trading Commission — official site ↗
- NFA BASIC — official site ↗
US retail FX leverage is capped and firms must meet NFA capital and disclosure rules. A website that refuses US clients — or accepts them only via an offshore entity — is not this framework’s “regulated US forex” path.

Questions this page answers
Does BrokerMafia recommend a broker here?
No. Indexed ≠ licensed ≠ recommended.
Where is the Top 10 score?
Nowhere on this framework page. Dated shortlists ship only when firm-level public-register IDs can be cited.
What should I verify first?
Legal entity on the agreement → live register row → costs on your symbols → small withdrawal test.
September 2026 shortlist — NFA IDs (N=6)
A dated editorial shortlist is now separate from this unscored framework: Best US retail forex dealers — September 2026. The US CFTC/NFA retail FDM universe is small; we publish an honest N=6 with public NFA IDs (FOREX.com 0339826, OANDA 0325821, IB 0258600, tastyfx 0509630, Schwab Futures & Forex 0477394, trading.com 0516820) rather than padding to ten offshore brands. Re-check NFA BASIC.
