NFA fined Lime Trading $100,000
In February, the NFA ordered Lime Trading to pay a $100,000 fine over failing to file various required financial reports and notifications timely with the US regulator, as well as failure to supervise.
Regulatory issues started when, in 2021, Lime Trading filed segregation and secured statement computations three days and one day late, respectively. The broker said it missed the deadline due to a meeting and the late November filing due to the submitter being ill.
In 2022, its daily segregation statement was also filed after the deadline. Lime Trading attributed the late filing to a third-party consultant. In 2023, Lime filed a month-end financial statement one business day late. Shortly thereafter, Lime Trading submitted another late financial report, this time four days after deadline.
To deter late financial filings, NFA imposes a fee of $1,000 for each business day a financial filing is late. To date, Lime Trading has paid $5,000 for its late financial filings, as described above. Despite paying late fees and repeat warnings from NFA and the CFTC, Lime Trading’s failure to file timely financial reports continued, which led the NFA to charge Lime with these violations, ending up in a $100,000 settlement.
