Going offshore to escape the CFTC

I took a quick look at CME Group, a.k.a. CMEG, Capital Markets Elite Group, and cmelitegroup.com mentioned by Gregory (screen-name OnTheEdge) above.

This broker is domiciled in Trinidad and Tobago, and claims some sort of partnership with ETX Capital (FCA-regulated broker in the UK).

Regarding the Indemnity Agreement which Gregory referred to: Here’s a screen-shot.

Personally, I have no problem with such a Disclaimer. In fact, I like it. I think all offshore brokers should operate this way. You may recall a POST I wrote a long time ago suggesting something similar.

Anyway, thanks to Gregory for pointing us toward this prospect.

I’ll ask the rest of you to dive in and vet this broker further.
