It is not that they do not allow US citizens to join foreign brokers. It is that they forbid foreign brokers who are not registered with CFTC and NFA to accept US citizens.Can you tell me why some brokers do not allow US citizen to join in???

That's quite literally a piece of bullshit. US citizens can invest in any foreign country that is not designated as a "state sponsor of terrorism."Because US government don't allow their citizens to invest money in any other country.

A foreign company may get registered with NFA. For example, Oanda is a Canadian broker regulated by CFTC/NFA.Actually my answer was very specific only to that comment.
I understand NFA and CFTC regulation requirements for International Brokerages.
Why international Brokerages can't just regulate their business with NFA/CFTC ? After all it will bring more business for them.
Once you find answer to my question you will probably end up with the same answer that i posted previously.
A brokers regulation matters but it cannot also guarantee good services or reliability . A good reputation i think matters alot. With a good reputation it shows that a broker is doing well.
A regulated broker is supposed to have been approved by the corresponding authorities so it can be a good filter in order to choose your broker. However, it is not a 100% guaranty that they are not scam, it is the same as banks and investment funds.
What are your examples of regulated scam brokers? I mean of those regulated by the credible institutions like FCA, CFTC, FINRA, etc.does regulation decide a broker scam or not scam?
I meant some brokers are unregulated and some are regulated (but stills scam), so how many percent does this factor account to? Is it the most important thing to check a broker?
Yes Forex broker should be regulated and registered . If you will trade with regulated broker your money will be safe. I trade with Forex Metal broker and it is regulated.
regulations are an added plus to an extend for it to be a must, we all go for a regulated broker, multi regulations is another plus, for example hotforex regulated by both the FSC and the CySec, and other brokers regulated all through out europe, but having a regulated broker doesnt always mean the broker is good. so exrt always the extra effort to have them checked.
