NFA's Online Registration System (ORS) is the web-based CFTC registration and NFA membership application system. In order to ensure firms and individuals receive NFA communication, it is important that all ORS records are kept current and accurate, including addresses and email addresses. NFA initially collects registration information for firms using the Form 7-R and for individuals using the Form 8-R in ORS. NFA Registration Rule 210 requires that firms keep the information entered in the Form 7-R and individuals keep the information entered in the Form 8-R up-to-date. In addition, NFA Registration Rule 213 requires that each registrant and affiliated principal, while registered or affiliated with a registrant and for two years after registration or affiliation is terminated, keep current the address on file in the Form 7-R or 8-R. To update information submitted in a Form 7-R or Form 8-R, the firm's designated Security Manager can authorize individuals to use ORS to file the update. Authorized users update information by navigating to NFA's website, www.nfa.futures.org, clicking "Login" in the ORS box, and entering their login credentials. Once logged into the system, users will be directed to the NFA Dashboard. From the Dashboard, click "Update/Withdraw Registration Information" under ORS Links on the left-hand column. From there, the user will be able to submit an update electronically. Please note that the only way a firm's or individual's ORS record can be updated is through ORS. Firms or individuals cannot request updates by phone or email. If you have questions on ORS, please contact NFA's Information Center by calling 312-781-1410 or 800-621-3570, or emailing information@nfa.futures.org. Information Center representatives are available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday.

From the Classroom to the Trading Floor

There is no single, clearly defined education path for entering the derivatives industry as professionals come from a range of academic backgrounds. Still, higher education plays a crucial role in preparing students for success in this complex and fast-evolving field. A strong foundation in finance, economics, and mathematics is essential. At the undergraduate level, students should prioritize courses in financial markets and institutions, investment analysis, corporate finance, and introductory derivatives. Just as important are courses in statistics and calculus, which help build the analytical and quantitative skills required for understanding pricing models, volatility, and risk management strategies. With the increasing reliance on algorithmic trading and quantitative research, a concentration or minor in applied mathematics, data science, or computer programming can...
