You can trade during the Evaluation Process (both FTMO Challenge: 1-Step and FTMO Challenge: 2-Step) as well as on the FTMO Account using some of the most popular retail platforms – MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or cTrader. You can choose these platforms in the FTMO Challenge configurator here.
Generally, the use of VPN/VPS services is allowed, except for accessing MetaTrader and cTrader accounts from the United States geolocation. Clients who travel to the United States should avoid logging in to MetaTrader and cTrader accounts from there.
