The National Futures Association issued a decision by an NFA Hearing Panel ordering Traders Edge Inc, an NFA Member introducing broker based in Madison, New Jersey, to withdraw from NFA membership and prohibiting it from reapplying. The action followed a complaint from NFA’s Business Conduct Committee and a settlement offer by the firm in which it neither admitted nor denied the allegations. The complaint alleged that Traders Edge’s website displayed misleading and deceptive trading results, including results not shown net of commissions and fees and profit discussions not accompanied by an equally prominent discussion of the risk of loss, and that the firm’s employees engaged in misleading and deceptive sales solicitations. It also alleged inadequate fee disclosure to customers prior to the commencement of trading and failures to diligently supervise the firm’s operations and employees. The Hearing Panel found violations of NFA Compliance Rules 2-2(a), 2-4, 2-9(a), 2-29(a)(1), 2-29(b)(1), 2-29(b)(3) and 2-29(b)(5).
