Every month or so CFTC releases financial data for its members. In the past year or so CFTC also releases the total amount of retail Forex obligations for retail forex brokers (under FCMRFD and RFED statuses) which shows us how much 'retail money' is held by US forex brokers.

Although in the past few months total amount wasn't growing it did grew quite a lot between July and August 2011 - in fact it rose by almost $20 million.

Biggest gain was by FXCM which grew by over $11 million, far behind are OANDA with $5 million and surprisingly ILQ with $4 million.
