To maintain the integrity of our trading ecosystem and ensure fairness for all participants, FundedFuturesFamily enforces strict guidelines regarding how traders access and interact with their accounts. This FAQ outlines our policies on VPNs, VPS usage, automated trading systems, and IP behavior.
Can I use a VPN to access my FundedFuturesFamily account?
No.
The use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) is not allowed. VPNs can mask your true location and create discrepancies in access logs, which undermines our ability to ensure that accounts are being operated by the approved trader. Use of a VPN may result in your account being flagged for review, suspended, or permanently closed.
Am I allowed to trade using a VPS?
No.
Virtual Private Servers (VPS) are also prohibited. Trading must be conducted from your personal device, under your direct supervision. VPS setups often obscure actual user behavior and can introduce risks associated with automation, shared access, or account misuse.
Can I use automated trading systems, expert advisors, or bots?
No.
Automated trading of any kind is strictly prohibited on all FundedFuturesFamily accounts—whether during the evaluation or live trading phases. Our programs are designed to assess individual trading skill, discretion, and risk management. The use of algorithms, bots, or copy-trading software undermines this process and is considered a breach of our rules.
Can I trade from multiple IP addresses or locations?
In limited cases, yes—with consistency and accountability.
We understand that some traders may use multiple devices or locations (such as home and office). However, frequent, erratic IP changes or conflicting geolocation data can raise concerns. Any attempt to deliberately manipulate IPs to conceal activity or misrepresent account control will result in disciplinary action, including potential disqualification.
What are the consequences of violating these policies?
If we detect violations involving VPNs, VPS usage, automation, or IP manipulation, the following actions may be taken:
Suspension or termination of your account
Forfeiture of any payouts or progress
Disqualification from participating in future programs
These measures are in place to protect the integrity of our trading environment and ensure all participants are evaluated under the same conditions.
Why are these restrictions necessary?
These guidelines exist to:
Maintain a fair and level playing field
Prevent fraudulent or misleading activity
Ensure accurate monitoring and evaluation of trading behavior
Comply with internal compliance and industry standards
By enforcing a consistent and secure access policy, we help protect both our traders and our firm.
How can I ensure I remain compliant?
Always trade from your personal, secure device
Use a stable, direct internet connection without VPNs or remote servers
Avoid sharing your device or credentials with anyone else
