What we checked

This authorisation is in force but limited — it does not carry the same protections as a full trading licence.

Finding

CFTC registration as an Introducing Broker together with NFA membership, with forex-firm approval added in November 2024 and swap-firm approval in May 2026. Read this carefully: an introducing broker takes the order but does not hold your futures money. Apex Clearing Corporation is the clearing firm that holds and segregates customer futures and event-contract funds. tastytrade is not a futures commission merchant and is not a retail forex dealer, and it does not claim to be either. Client protection: Strong on supervision: CFTC registration, NFA oversight and examinations, and NFA arbitration. Weaker on money protection than the securities side, because futures and event-contract accounts carry no SIPC cover and depend on CFTC segregation rules at the clearing firm.. Effective: 26 Aug 2016.
