Quick answer: TakeProfitTrader currently lists 119 restricted jurisdictions. Account access, trading, and even viewing market data from one of them can trigger restriction. VPNs, remote connections, and shared networks do not create an exception.

I passed three TakeProfitTrader Tests in July 2026 and currently trade three active PRO accounts with $100K combined account size. PTV may earn a commission through the tracked VIBES referral link, at no added cost to you. VIBES identifies PTV as the referrer. The separate public NOFEE40 promotion currently provides the advertised price benefit.

Country eligibility is not only a signup question. TakeProfitTrader applies the location rule whenever an account or its market data is accessed. That makes travel and remote access relevant after the account is already active.

The list below is transcribed from the official Restricted Countries article updated April 20, 2026 and checked August 11, 2026. It can change with regulatory or brokerage requirements.

This is a convenience copy, not a substitute for the live policy. Check the official list immediately before buying and again before accessing the platform while traveling.

What activity is prohibited from a restricted country?

TakeProfitTrader names both placing trades and accessing or viewing market data. A single detected instance can be treated as a violation and the associated account can be restricted or blocked.

The rule therefore covers more than placing an order. Opening a platform to inspect a chart or account while physically present in a restricted jurisdiction can still create the prohibited access event.

Can a VPN or remote connection solve the problem?

No. The official country policy explicitly includes VPNs, remote connections, and shared networks that may route activity through a restricted country. The registration policy also says VPN and proxy detection can cause a denial.

Do not use a remote desktop as a location workaround. If travel creates uncertainty, ask support before departure and retain the answer. The published policy gives no travel exception.

What should you do before buying?

  • Check the live official Restricted Countries page.
  • Disable any VPN or proxy before registration.
  • Use identity and address details that match your documents.
  • Ask support if your citizenship, residence, and current location differ.
  • Do not pay until eligibility is clear.

TakeProfitTrader can also deny registration for internal risk reasons unrelated to country status. Absence from the list does not guarantee approval.

What should active traders check before travel?

Check the countries you will physically enter and the networks you will use. Avoid logging into the dashboard, platform, or market-data connection from a restricted jurisdiction unless TakeProfitTrader has provided a written exception specific to your case.

Also check flight connections and remote setups if you intend to leave a machine running. A remote connection that routes account activity through a restricted country remains inside the published warning.

Plan the operational pause before the trip. Close positions and working orders, disable platform auto-login on travel devices, and prevent a copier or charting tool from reconnecting in the background. The published policy is about detected access, so an unattended session can matter even when you did not intend to trade.

If you move residence, update your identity and payout records through the approved support process. A permitted travel destination does not resolve an address mismatch, and a valid home address does not create permission to access the platform from a blocked location.

How is this different from KYC?

KYC verifies identity and address. Country-access controls monitor where registration and platform activity originate. A trader can pass identity verification and later create a country-policy problem through travel or a network route.

Registration denial can also arise from VPN detection or undisclosed internal risk signals. The country list answers one eligibility layer, not every compliance decision.

The bottom line

TakeProfitTrader currently publishes 119 restricted jurisdictions. If your residence or travel plans touch the list, get clarity before spending money or opening the platform. Do not rely on a VPN, proxy, or remote desktop to change the rule.
