The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, was created by Congress in 1974 as an independent agency to regulate commodity futures and option markets and, in particular, to protect market participants from price manipulation, abusive sales practices, and fraud.
Generally, any person trading in futures or options on futures on behalf of customers must be registered with the Commission, although the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules do provide certain exemptions from registration requirements.
The Commission also requires that, before any person or firm opens an account for a retail customer, it must provide such customer with a risk disclosure statement that provides certain information as specified by the Commission.
