Questions this page answers
Is the NFA a .gov website?
No. NFA is nfa.futures.org. The federal derivatives regulator is the CFTC at cftc.gov.
Are prop-firm evaluators CFTC registrants?
Most are not. Do not treat a BrokerMafia prop-firm row as a CFTC or NFA registration.
Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?
No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
