Trading Fees
No instrument-level fee schedule found in captured mirror pages. Pricing appears embedded via members.thefuturesdesk.com iframe, so commission rows could not be sourced from local mirror artifacts.
General Policies
Algorithm & EA Policy
Algos and microscalping are allowed. No specific prohibitions on automated trading are documented, but general rules against prohibited conduct that exploits the simulated environment still apply.
Prohibited Conduct includes attempts to exploit/manipulate the simulated environment (e.g., slippage/queue exploitation, abnormally high trade volume in short timeframes), use of external/slow data feeds, and market manipulation/abusive short-term or high-frequency behaviors. The firm may delete profits/trading days, reset or close accounts, and ban users for violations.
Microscalping Policy
Microscalping and algos are allowed per published site claims.
VPN Policy
VPN policy is not explicitly published by this firm. In general, prop firms often restrict or closely monitor VPN/proxy/VPS usage because of KYC and compliance obligations, sanctions screening, fraud prevention, account-sharing detection, and risk controls tied to IP/geolocation consistency. Using location-masking tools can trigger security reviews, payout holds, or account action. Before trading with a VPN, confirm your exact setup with firm support in writing (especially when traveling or changing regions).
