NFA member firms are financial companies regulated by the National Futures Association. These entities, which include futures commission merchants, introducing brokers, commodity pool operators, and commodity trading advisors, must register with and adhere to the rules set forth by the National Futures Association. The NFA is a self-regulatory organization for the US derivatives industry, responsible for safeguarding market integrity and protecting investors. Membership requires compliance with strict operational, financial, and ethical standards.
