American citizens have the option to engage in trading activities with offshore brokers, contingent upon the broker possessing a valid license issued by the National Futures Association (NFA).

Additionally, the broker must be subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
