NFA Compliance Director to participate in panel discussion at upcoming Forex Trading Expo

Compliance Director Sharon Pendleton will participate in a panel discussion entitled, "The Questions You Need to Ask Your Broker before Opening a Forex Account" at the Forex Trading Expo, scheduled on September 12 and 13 in Las Vegas. Joining Sharon on the panel will be CFTC Deputy Director, Compliance and Registration, William Penner and Tim Bourquin, co-founder of the Traders Expo and the Forex Trading Expo.

NFA will also sponsor an information booth in the exhibit hall, where staff will distribute forex education brochures and demonstrate how to conduct online background checks of forex firms and brokers.

"Investors attending the Expo spend a lot of time learning forex trading strategies," says Larry Dyekman, director of Communications and Education at NFA. "We give them the opportunity to spend an equal amount of time learning about the risks involved in trading forex and the firms who are vying for their money."

The Forex Trading Expo will be held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, and admission is free.
