    Since this month I found that forex trading is not allowed for residents of Ohio and Arizona of Thinkorswim account holders. TOS didnot give any explaination other than it is goverment rule. I wonder is this true for other brokers also banning forex in Ohio and Arizona?
    Forex trading is worldwide accessible even from tiny islands also. Why complex rules and regulations of US?

    I wonder what the reason might be for banning Forex trading in some states.

    I have not heard that previously. Could it be a TDA/TOS only issue?

    Is there any way of finding out which government rules apply, as they have just closed down Asia for the same reason.
