Prohibited countries

Modified on Tue, 20 Jan at 7:49 AM

Due to the restrictions put on us by our US FCM (our Clearing firm), and broker, we cannot accept traders who are citizens or residents of the countries listed below. Or traders who are visiting these countries for an extended period of time and are predominantly trading from these countries. 

Please note, this applies if you are a citizen or resident of any country on the list.


If you were resident in a permitted country, but a citizen of a prohibited country, you would not be able to open an account with TradeDay.

Similarly, if you were a citizen of a permitted country, but a resident of a prohibited country, you would also not be able to open an account with TradeDay.


Finally, if you are visiting these countries for an extended period of time and are predominantly trading from these countries, you would also not be able to open an account with TradeDay. We would suggest traders do not trade if they are visiting these countries. 


Please note this is NOT TradeDay's decision and is beyond our control, so please don't ask us to make exceptions.


During the set up of a funded trading account the broker and clearing firm will run a KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti Money Laundering) check. 

You will also be required to provide a bank statement or utility bill as proof of address, and a government-issued ID.

If you cannot provide these documents, or fail these background checks (for example, if you are a convicted felon) we will not be able to proceed with opening the funded account, and you will not be eligible for any refunds. Thank you for your understanding.

*We are currently unable to onboard new users from Ukraine, as Riseworks are not supporting new users or businesses from Ukraine. Our existing Ukrainian users that have already onboarded with Riseworks may still use their Riseworks accounts, but may only withdraw in crypto. We are actively working on a solution to allow new users from Ukraine to onboard.


Conditional/Limited Jurisdictions

Canada (Outside Ontario)


Canadian citizens or residents outside the province of Ontario are not eligible for Funded Live accounts. Traders in this category who pass an evaluation may trade in a Funded Sim account only and may remain in Funded Sim indefinitely.


TradeDay reserves the right to offboard such accounts at any time if the Head of Trading determines the account presents elevated risk. In such cases, any eligible profits will be paid out in accordance with TradeDay’s payout policy.


These restrictions are imposed by our broker and clearing firm and are not subject to exception.
