The rules they do not put on the pricing page
48 terms across 15 firms that can cost you an account or a payout after you have paid — 28 of them close the account outright. Every one is quoted from the firm’s own pages, with a link to where we read it.
Platform
Where a platform is unavailable to you.
Do not log in from the US, even on a VPN
VPS and VPN use is generally allowed, with one exception: traders travelling to the United States should not log in to MetaTrader or cTrader from there, and should not set a VPN location to the US. It is a platform licensing restriction, not a trading rule, and it is easy to trip by accident.

MetaTrader 5 is unavailable to US traders
The firm accepts US traders, but MetaQuotes software is not available to them through IF Pro Ltd. You would trade on another platform — worth knowing before you buy if your strategy depends on MT5 tooling.
MetaTrader 5 is unavailable to traders in the US and Canada
Their checkout states that MT5 is unavailable for clients from the USA and Canada. This is a platform restriction rather than a country ban — MatchTrader remains available — but if you were counting on MT5, the account you buy will not run it.
This list is only as complete as our reading. 15 of the firms we track have been through a rulebook pass; the rest are still to do, and a firm missing from here has not been cleared — it has not been checked. See every firm we track.
