Using a VPN, VPS, or IP masking add-on

Modified on Mon, 21 Jul at 6:57 PM


  • TradeDay does not allow the use of virtual private servers (VPS)

  • Traders using VPNs, or any software designed to mask the IP address location (Including Apple’s Private Relay service or privacy extensions built into browsers) are required to switch off the service and trade from the address under which the account is registered.


Using a VPN, VPS, or any software that is designed to mask the IP address poses a security risk for TradeDay. As such, at the below stages, a trader using any IP masking software will be required to switch it off and trade for a full day in line with how they have been trading during their evaluation or funded account, from the location registered with TradeDay. We will require a trading day's worth of data that has a similar average trade time, the same products, and a similar number of trades previously taken in a day.


When do these IP security checks happen?


A trader may be requested to comply with the security check:

  • When moving to a  Funded Live account

  • On payout requests from Funded Sim

  • When achieving Funded Sim milestones 


Why do we have this policy?


It is essential for TradeDay to ensure that it is operating in compliance with US anti-money laundering law and sanctioned country requirements and to protect the integrity of our platform.


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. We will refund any setup and activation fees, as well as the fee paid for the passed evaluation. However, we will not refund failed evaluations or subscriptions used prior to passing the evaluation.


Thank you for your understanding.
