Many brokers offer access to US traders without having the regulations to do so, furthermore the CFTC requires the trading firm to be headquartered within US territory in order to be fully compliant with the Federal law. For more information, please visit my Nadex review.

Hi Keola, as a trader binary options is legal in the United Stated. The only risk is that if binary options will be completely outlawed and strict regulations will be enforced, many brokers will be forced to completely discontinue accepting US traders.

Is it a scam or real? Can an US citizen use it legally? The software will pick the most suitable broker for you based on your IP, they way we designed it. Empireoption is not known to scam traders at least not based on the complaints I get. Did you take a bonus?

You are basically required to provide them with documents to verify your identity and then you can qualify for a withdrawal. I am in NYC I know that any option is not available Can I use any option using a VPN system? I also have one but for other needs. The VPN will allow you to register with a reliable EU regulated broker such as Topoption, Anyoption or OptionTime as an alternative to Nadex since they block access for US..

Boss Capital is not regulated under any investment authority and definitely not under CFTC, SEC or anything remotely similar. Yes, I created an auto trader a few months ago actually, here is a link: My email is tradingbinaryonline gmail.

I told close my acct and give my deposit back. But they said i have to bring more money in platform.

So what USA broker can we used I would like to try your signals but what you are saying people in the USA is pretty much screwed.

Michael found this website that have 12 brokers that are available for US traders and are CFTC regulated, I went to cftc website to see if they were and they all came up as CFTC regulated. Rafael Rios, My understanding is that in USA and territories it is illegal to SOLICIT non-CFTC registered brokerages in the USA.

Thank you very much for your efforts. I noticed a question by Mike Riley I would like to comment to. Puerto Rico is a US possesion in the Caribbean; as such US rulings apply in the island just as they apply to the continous 48, Alaska and Hawaii. If it is illegal to trade with non registered brokers in Chicago, it is also illegal in the island.

Thanks for the good thread. Nadex is not reliable and I have found when simming that even though your trade expires as a winner…you lose money. Maybe I am not understanding it correctly but that is what I see. However, you mentioned CherryTrade. Can we use your software if we have a Cherry Trade account even if we live in the US?

Hi CJ, I respect your comment and I am not a big fan of Nadex myself, it could be that some platform manipulation exists even with Nadex. On the other hand, I never encountered any allegations of Nadex being involved in any shady business practices or not returning clients funds upon withdrawal requests. CherryTrade is safe and one of the top rated brokers on many websites including my blog yet they are not CFTC regulated.

I had to remove them after a major backlash which had to do purely because of the tech issues.

CherryTrade is still listed as one of my recommended brokers on my manual TEXT and Email signals group page. I no longer require traders to register with a broker in order to join my manual signals group if they already signed up with my Auto Trader so you can basically get both now with one broker registration. I also want to add that the donation to a charity is not mandatory but very much appreciated and you may also pick the charity organization istead of donation to the ones I listed on http: If you have any questions you can also email me at tradigbinaryonline gmail.

Cheers to a successful !! Without you I would have tried registering with 24options which would have been pointless U. Mike from Puerto Rico again. I left a reply on another page and just read this one. Is this really true. Can I trade with any broker while living in PR?

Hi there, this information might be true. As a trader, even from within the US, you are free to trade with any broker you like, this is the bottom line and my understanding concerning this topic. I will encourage anyone with a legal background to join this thread and share your feedback. As of December 20, Stockpair. I was with Stockpair for 2 years and they had the best platform.

Is there another platform in the U. S that is comparable to Stockpair? Nadex is sort of complicated. StockPair was a good choice for US traders.

Based on reputation I would say CherryTrade is the best alternative to Nadex and they offer similar features that StockPair offers basides PairTrading.

Here is a link to my CherryTrade Review. Thanks Mike, I wish I had found your website when I first started trading Binary Options — would have saved me alot of money and heartache. I also wish I would have thought to do more homework about brokers. Unfortunately I deposited money with Cedar Finance because it was a recommended broker by a previous signal provider. I just contacted Cedar Finance to see if I could get my deposit back, 1 of the 3 brokers I traded with.

Is this true, are they actually complying or should I file a report. But if they are actually complying -Great! Unfortunately this is a lie. Based on the CFTC, and you can call them they answer really fast , only CFTC regulated and United States based brokers can offer this type of trade to customers. The reps goal is to manipulate you into trusting them and funding an account with them. Here is one very concerning page I found on Cedar Finance, 59 complaints only on ScamBook.

Thank you for sharing this article Jay! Do you have any comments relating to binary options in the US? Just want to get your feedback if you can. You can also contact the IC3. GOV if you have a reason to believe you were scammed. All the best to you! Thanks Mike, I am waiting to hear back from BigOptions support manager to find out if they will honor their agreement to refund my deposit. Otherwise I will inform them that I intend to report them to the website you provided, unless they do so.

But like you said, sometimes when it is a matter of money.. Thank you for the information where to report them. I will keep you post, when I get an update.

We need more honest people like you! Keep up the great work! I had NO idea about the CFTC regulations. In the past month I had setup an account with BigOption after verifying with them that they except US traders. Which I was told they did.

But upon reading this, I read back over their site to find out if they are CFTC regulated.. Upon confronting them about it, I was then told they do not let US traders trade live accounts.

Since they not only lied, but are stealing money. Any suggestions as to how I can report this company? In reality, only Nadex. No broker or website should solicit binary options to US traders with non CFTC and SEC regulated brokers.

I would report them incase they fail to refund your money, otherwise if they just lied to you, move on and look for honesty somewhere else.

The world is full of liars.. The number one websites are afraid of is the IC3. If they fail to honor a withdrawal request, filing a credit card dispute is the first thing you need to do. If you need help in this process you can contact me at tradingbinaryonline gmail.

Is there any chance that the US will in the future regulate and license more binary options brokers than just NADEX? This means that NADEX basically has a monopoly at the moment, which is a huge incentive to lobby regulators to prevent any other future brokers from becoming licensed. Is there any chance that there will be other brokers regulated in the future or we just get stuck with NADEX forever? I was just starting to get excited about entering the binary options trading arena when you and Paul announced your signal trading software s.

I have watched binary options from the sideline for quite a while now, realizing that MANY brokers and signal trade services and software were all out scams. You and Paul are both a breath of fresh air telling the truth about binary options brokers and signal services. I thank you and Paul for realizing the legalities for US traders. I totally respect you both and applaud the transparency that you are collaborating on with the CFTC Badge initiative. But I am also sad that we are not able to use your software s because the NADEX platform is so different.

My Dad trades regular options and the NADEX type of platform that is very similar to regular options chain type platforms Think or Swim comes to mind. My question to you and Paul if he is reading is will you be offering US traders either training, signal services, or software that will work sync with the NADEX platform? No doubt it will take a bit of a learning curve to use the NADEX platform, but in the end, it will be nice to make money with binary options and know that it was legally made and therefore not subject to any form of prosecution from the US government.

I completely understand the disappointment, trust me that I would love to keep my software available for US traders but on the Internet many people, including us, forget that what we write or say can have a major influence on visitors and we must be responsible and ethical, the Internet is flooded with lies and misrepresentation. Many blogs falsely state that some of the unregulated brokers, have regulations with the CFTC and this is completely false.

Well, if they paid more attention to my videos they would reach a different conclusion.

The Most Popular Binary Option Brokers

I call for other blogs and forums to fight against the lies and work towards making the industry more transparent instead of attacking my name on a personal level. Everyone with brains on their shoulder will eventually realize who is the scam and who is not. In the future I will do my best to provide more information relating to trading in the US with Nadex. I will continue to discourage traders in the USA and do my best to prevent them from signing up with unregulated brokers, the attacks may continue but I will make sure this information goes viral and available to the public.

Your feedback and questions will help this page rank higher on Google. I appreciate any type of feedback. Thank you for your comment Dennis and have a great weekend! According to this site binary-optionsbrokers. I have paper traded with BeeOptions and they seem to work well. I have heard Cedar financial has a good reputation although I have never used them. Please let me know if you develope autotrader to work with a US compliant broker.

Check with the CFTC, they answer the phone very quickly up to 1 minute CFTC They will be able to verify that the following brokers as listed on the site you mentioned: Bee Options, ZoomTrader, EZtrader, Cedar Finance, Royal De Bank, TradeTush, TraderXP and Lbinary are ALL NOT CFTC Regulated!! None are actually even EU regulated.

The website you mentioned is very misleading.

In a new video I am calling for other website owners and forums to start practicing more transparency and accuracy of information and this is a pure example of the confusion that some websites are trying to create, check out my latest video Binary Options Transparency and CFTC Badge. As for my Auto Trader, unfortunately it will remain unavailable for US traders until I am able to find a suitable broker with CFTC regulations. The Feds are very strict when it comes to unregulated binary options solicitation to US traders.

And how do I signup with you and your AUTO TRADING SIGNALS and with NADEX? Does your BO work well with NADEX? Thanks for the time you have taken from your busy schedule to address my concerns.

Unfortunately my auto trader is no longer available in the US, Nadex is not a broker I can sync with the software as they operate on a completely different platform while most brokers operate on Spotoption, Keystone or one of the main platforms for binary options. I am looking for US regulated brokers to add to my auto trader but until then, I cannot accept any new members from the US. I am really sorry about that.

You can also check out my list of recommended signals services for alternatives. Before this news, I was told that Titan Trade, LBinary and Big Options were U. Michael, can I use your manual signals with NADEX?

Hi Daymeon, unfortunately this information is not trueo. Lbinary, TitanTrade and Bigoption are available in the US, however they are not registered with the SEC or CFTC, other traders from outside of the US may sign up with the three brokers. I plan to start sending signals for Nadex as part of my signals group in the very near future. In the USA right now, Nadex. European regulations or any type of regulations given to a binary options broker, other than by the CFTC, is not enough for any website to offer or solicit non US regulated brokers to US traders.
