NFA oversees the retail forex brokers. I haven't seen any of the major ones that is a member of FINRA, so I wouldn't worry about them. As much as people are screaming and yelling about the new "no hedging" rule, they will be apoplectic about cutting the permissible margin down to 25:1 if that happens.
