Check the CFD and Futures country lists separately. CFD restrictions cover residents and citizens; the Futures purchase page names residents. New US CFD purchases use Match-Trader, while existing US cTrader accounts may continue until breach.
The two official country lists, US platform scope and CFD allocation exceptions were checked on 13 October 2026. Eligibility is rule research. My personal FundedNext record covers CFD trading and does not establish access for another country or a future live account.
Which countries are restricted on FundedNext CFD?
The official CFD list restricts residents and citizens of Bangladesh, Myanmar, Belarus, North Korea, Syria, Grenada, Chad, Malaysia, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, Cape Verde, Tuvalu, Vietnam, Bouvet Island, Burundi, Cook Islands, Eritrea, Comoros, Sri Lanka and Fiji.
Separate from a full restriction, the allocation policy limits traders from Cambodia, Mongolia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Pakistan to $50K. The general funded allocation is $300K across Stellar 1-Step, 2-Step and Lite, with a $200K Lite sublimit. A country’s permission to buy a Challenge is not the same as its funded allocation.
Does Futures use the same restricted-country list?
No. FundedNext Futures publishes its own purchase restrictions and live-trading notes. A CFD-eligible country may be restricted for Futures. The purchase list below and the later live review answer different questions.
What are the current US restrictions?
| Product or platform | US scope |
|---|---|
| Stellar CFD plans | The USA guide lists 1-Step, 2-Step, Lite and Instant |
| New CFD purchases | Match-Trader only since 31 March 2026 |
| Existing US cTrader | May continue until breach; no reset afterward |
| MT4 / MT5 | Unavailable to US clients; US-IP access is restricted |
| Futures | USA is not on the purchase-restriction list; eligible products use Tradovate/NinjaTrader and TradingView integration |
The USA guide also excludes US clients from the 15% Challenge reward and exempts US Match-Trader accounts from the general $100K/$200K cTrader/Match-Trader restriction. cTrader and Match-Trader both require manual trading.
The MetaQuotes US-IP policy gives a formal warning on the first violation. Repeated US-IP access after the warning leads to termination without a Performance Reward or Refund. This is separate from a CFD country prohibition.
Why must you check CFD and Futures separately?
The Futures article has a separate live-review list. It says those residents can trade simulated accounts and receive simulated rewards, but the Risk Desk will review their options if they reach live eligibility. Canada is listed as “except Ontario”; the article does not place Ontario in that same review category.
The official page also contains an unresolved overlap: Antarctica, Bouvet Island, Eritrea and Fiji appear in both the purchase-restricted and live-review lists. A place on the second list therefore does not establish purchase eligibility. If either list covers your residence, obtain written confirmation for the exact product before paying.
What happens if you bypass a restriction?
The CFD jurisdiction policy says using a VPN, proxy, third-party identity or inaccurate declaration to hide a restricted residence or nationality results in account termination and permanent loss of access. This concerns concealment of an ineligible location or identity; it does not mean every VPN connection is itself prohibited.
Check your actual residence and nationality before purchase. Do not use a platform or network change as a substitute for eligibility.
Which countries appear on the Futures purchase list?
The Futures purchase list, checked 13 October 2026, names Afghanistan, Albania, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belize, Bouvet Island, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cape Verde, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Cook Islands, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Fiji, Grenada, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Laos, Lebanon, Lesotho, Libya, Malawi, Malaysia, Mali, Myanmar, North Korea, the occupied Palestinian Territory, Russia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu, Ukraine, Venezuela, Vietnam and Yemen.
The official page describes these as residence-based purchase restrictions and says they can change. Ukraine is included; Canada is not on this purchase list.
What should you verify before paying?
Check the relevant division, residence, citizenship where the policy covers it, and the platform and account size. Then check whether live access requires a separate review. Your KYC information must match your actual identity and address.
If the sources conflict, ask FundedNext support to confirm the country, product and platform in writing. Save that reply alongside the relevant policy and purchase confirmation.
Can US users buy Stellar Instant?
The current USA client guide explicitly lists Stellar Instant on Match-Trader. The general CFD restriction page still groups Instant with unavailable MT5 products. Those pages conflict. Use the US-specific guide for the stated platform option and confirm the US checkout before purchase.
