Currencies are regulated by the NFA.

I think you run into regs based on whose money you are working with.

NFA being the self-regulated extension of the CFTC. I think for international and larger profile cases the CFTC may file directly, although I'm not sure where they divvy it up. For the registrant, they are effectively one and the same.

Spot currencies are NOT regulated by the NFA ..

However the CFTC is concerned with anybody giving specific advice to a person regarding their personal financial situation.
