Yes, IG is one of only a handful of forex brokers regulated in the US. Since expanding in the US with the acquisition of Tastytrade for options traders they now compete with forex.com for retail forex traders. Both forex.com and IG offer the same platform as they do in their UK HQ, but forex.com offer slightly more forex trading signals and also has some very good post-trade analytic tools. But unlike IG in the UK, you cannot buy stocks and shares with IG in the US.
