What are the rules for IP addresses, Device Usage, and VPNs/VPS?

At TakeCap FT, we actively monitor IP addresses and login locations to ensure the security of your account, prevent unauthorized third-party account management, and maintain regulatory compliance.

While our platform is built for flexibility, it is crucial that your login activity reflects a single, individual user. Here is everything you need to know about our IP, Device, and VPN policies:

1. Multiple Devices and Local Movement (Allowed)

We understand that modern traders are always on the move.

  • Different Devices: You are absolutely allowed to log into your account using different devices (e.g., your smartphone, your home desktop, and your work laptop).

  • Local Movement: Moving between your home Wi-Fi, mobile 5G network, local coffee shops, or traveling between nearby cities within the same country is perfectly fine and will not trigger any penalties.

2. Traveling Between Countries & "Realistic Timeframes"

You are allowed to travel and trade from different countries, provided you are not traveling to or operating from one of our Restricted Jurisdictions.

However, your login history must reflect a realistic travel timeframe.

  • No "Teleporting": Logging in from São Paulo, Brazil, and then logging in from London, UK, just 15 minutes later is physically impossible.

  • Simultaneous Access: Accessing the account from two vastly different regions at the exact same time is strictly prohibited.

If our system detects impossible travel times or simultaneous access from different regions, it will be flagged as Account Sharing or Third-Party Account Management, which is a direct violation of our General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and will lead to account suspension.

💡 Tip for Travelers: If you are planning an international trip or a long journey, we highly advise notifying our support team (support@takecapft.com) in advance. This helps us annotate your account, preventing our automated security systems from unnecessarily flagging your account during your travels.

3. VPN and VPS Policy (Strict Guidelines)

The use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Virtual Private Servers (VPS) is highly restricted due to compliance and security reasons.

Allowed Use (For Connection Stability Only):

You are permitted to use a VPS or VPN only to ensure a secure and stable trading connection. However, to do so without triggering a ban, you must adhere to the following:

  • You must use a Static IP Address (an IP that does not constantly change locations).

  • You must submit this Static IP address to our support team beforehand so it can be whitelisted on your account.

Strictly Prohibited Use (IP / VPN Evasion):

As outlined in Section 4 of our GTC, using tools like VPNs or proxies to conceal your true location, hide your identity, or bypass our Restricted Jurisdictions list is strictly prohibited.

  • If you reside in or are operating from a restricted country and use a VPN to mask this fact, it is considered a material breach of the contract.

  • Using dynamic VPNs that constantly bounce your IP across different countries will trigger our account sharing alerts.

  • Violating this rule will lead to the immediate termination of your account without a refund and the forfeiture of any payout rights.

4. Platform Flexibility

To avoid the need for complicated setups or VPNs, remember that TradeLocker is highly accessible. If you encounter issues with software installation on a specific device, or if you are using a public/temporary computer, you can easily use the TradeLocker Web Version directly from your browser.

Summary for a Safe Account:

Trade your own account, don't share your login credentials, ensure your travel logs make physical sense, and never use a VPN to mask your true geographic location. By following these simple rules, you will enjoy a secure and uninterrupted trading experience!
