Global eligibility directory
Search your country or territory for current Evaluation and Simulated Funded Account availability. The current Black Vault programs use simulated futures accounts—not NYSE securities accounts—but we still apply U.S. sanctions, futures-market, market-data, provider, payment, and identity restrictions.

Every trader is checked

How the directory is governed
OFAC does not publish one universal list of banned countries; some sanctions are broad and others target specific people, entities, governments, activities, or regions. CME Rule 543 separately bars sanctioned parties and comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions from direct or indirect exchange access. Black Vault therefore combines location status with restricted-party screening and the actual WealthCharts/CME market-data path. NYSE access is not the product gate because Black Vault does not offer securities accounts.

Each account is eligible for a maximum of five completed payouts. After the fifth payout, that account is retired and the trader is invited to a live trading account.
The invitation begins the separate live-account onboarding process; it does not itself open a live account or replace the applicable live-account agreements and eligibility checks.
Traders must record at least one trade on an active account during each calendar month—the first through the last day of the month. If no trades are recorded across a trader’s accounts during a calendar month, all of that trader’s accounts will be closed. No exceptions apply.
Genuine manual scalping is allowed. A trade lasting five seconds or less is not automatically a violation. Never hold a losing trade open just to satisfy a timer. Manual review distinguishes legitimate trading from prohibited activity, such as automation, delayed-price exploitation or unrealistic simulated-fill exploitation.
For each account’s payout cycle, divide winning profit from trades held five seconds or less by all winning profit, after commissions and fees. Losing trades are excluded from both totals. This calculation does not use profit above the $2,100 target.
Below 30%: no short-duration percentage warning. From 30% through 50%: advisory warning only, with no penalty. Above 50%: manual review. Crossing 50% alone does not cause profit forfeiture, payout denial, a trading-day restart or account closure.
The first confirmed finding of prohibited activity results in a written warning identifying the trades and prohibited behavior, with no profit forfeiture. If the same prohibited activity continues after that warning, profits attributable to that continued activity are forfeited and the affected account is closed. Unrelated profits are not automatically forfeited; any remaining payout must satisfy the account’s other requirements.
An advisory percentage warning is not a confirmed-violation warning. You receive the identified trades and an explanation of any finding or penalty, and may appeal through a support ticket. Drawdown limits, position limits and the separate 30% per-trade funded-risk rule remain in place. Account sharing, prohibited hedging, automation and system exploitation remain prohibited.
This replaces the short-duration payout rule for accounts originally purchased on or after November 1, 2026. Earlier original purchases remain exempt, including resets. The revised measurement applies only to trades closed from the effective time onward.
