in Brokers
Hello everyone, I live in Mexico but travel to the USA, I want to keep trading while in the USA, I know some brokers allow the use of VPN. What would happen if my VPN got disconnected while trading in the USA or another country that is not Mexico.
Thank you

    Hi! Yeah but would that cause account suspension?

    That's something that you have to ask the broker because they have different conditions. Maybe they will just ask you to confirm your address (utility bill, bank statement, etc).

    I guess there might be solutions like hiring a VPS from any broker like hfm gives it for free or we better use our laptop or computer at same location and accessing it through screensharing protocols like anydesk or teamviewer etc.

    Yeah… that’s the scary part 😅
    VPN disconnects at the wrong moment and suddenly you’re “teleporting” countries. Brokers don’t love that.

    People are allowed to travel. It's not like you are prisoner in a certain location if you have a brokerage account.

    If your address is not verified, they might ask you to upload corresponding documents. Or maybe they will simply ask you if you are traveling / vacationing, etc. In some cases, they might even ask for a selfie to make sure your account it not compromised.

    But that's about it.
