Phoenix Trader Funding has issued a clarification on how its VPN and VPS policy applies across different account types.
Phoenix Trader Funding's baseline policy, in place since May 2024, prohibits using a VPS, proxy, or similar tool to mask a trader's identity; accounts found using such tools for that purpose are not funded or paid out. The firm's newly issued clarification addresses how this policy applies specifically across its various account types, though the specific distinctions were not detailed in the source available for this piece.
The specific content of the clarification, meaning exactly how the policy differs or is confirmed across Phoenix Trader Funding's account types, was not available in the sources used for this piece.
VPN and VPS policies carry real consequences at firms across the industry; violations can result in an account being denied funding or a payout outright, not merely a warning. Anyone currently using or considering a VPN or VPS with a Phoenix Trader Funding account should read the firm's full clarification directly, rather than relying on a summary, given the stakes involved. We will update this piece with the specific details of the clarification once Phoenix Trader Funding's full policy text becomes available.
Comparing risk and conduct policies across firms before committing is worth doing anywhere. Apex Trader Funding is another established futures firm worth comparing on documented terms, currently running a discount on evaluation fees.
