Pressure checklist
- Is this a general-rule question or an entity-specific rule question?
- Is the entity an FCM, IB, CPO, or CTA?
- Is the issue regulatory compliance, arbitration, or discipline?
- Does the answer respect the limited-route purpose instead of drifting into Series 3 product detail?
Common traps
- treating Series 32 like a futures-product exam
- ignoring NFA disciplinary procedures because they feel procedural
- blending FCM/IB rules with CPO/CTA rules
- overlooking the limited-route context
