Trading My Funded Futures with a clean network
My Funded Futures is a US futures prop firm with infrastructure connected to CME co-location — the same latency environment as Apex and Topstep, not the London-based world of forex prop firms.
My Funded Futures's infrastructure is in Chicago / New York (CME co-location). Their IP consistency requirements should be verified directly with their terms before using any proxy or VPS. TradersProxy uses a shared data-centre IP with Chicago nodes — verify DC IP compatibility with My Funded Futures before using it for their evaluation.
Where My Funded Futures' infrastructure actually lives
My Funded Futures operates in the US futures space. Their trading environment connects to CME Group-adjacent infrastructure in Chicago and New York. This is the same broad infrastructure cluster as Apex Trader Funding and Topstep — not the London-based broker infrastructure used by FTMO, FundedNext, and most European forex prop firms.
Your latency target is Chicago or New York, not London. US traders are effectively local. European and Asian traders face the same geographic constraints as with any US futures firm.
- Primary infrastructure: CME co-location, Chicago and New York
- Latency from US Midwest/East: 5–30 ms typical
- Latency from Europe: 80–130 ms typical
- Latency from Asia: 180–250 ms typical
My Funded Futures' IP policy and what it means for you
My Funded Futures, like most futures prop firms, expects stable and consistent IP behaviour throughout the evaluation. The specific published policy on VPN, proxy, and VPS connections should be verified directly from their current terms of service, as policies are updated and community-sourced information is often outdated.
The general principle that applies to all prop firms in this category: do not change your connection method mid-evaluation. The IP history consistency requirement is the constant; the specific enforcement mechanism varies by firm.
TradersProxy uses data-centre IP ranges with Chicago nodes. Whether My Funded Futures permits data-centre IPs in their evaluation environment is something to verify directly with them before starting. Do not assume based on other firms' policies.
What to check before using any proxy or VPS
- Read My Funded Futures' current terms: Check for explicit policies on VPN, proxy, and VPS. Do not rely on community posts or this guide alone.
- Confirm IP consistency from day one: Whatever connection method you choose, ensure it is static and unchanged for the full evaluation.
- Test latency before starting: Ping the platform's server hostname for 60 seconds. Note the min-max jitter spread.
- Do not change infrastructure mid-evaluation: IP changes mid-evaluation create consistency flags regardless of firm policy.
What actually helps for My Funded Futures traders — in honest order
1. VPS near CME co-location in Chicago (best for latency if permitted)
A Chicago VPS near Equinix CH2 or similar CME-adjacent facilities gives you 1–5 ms to the futures execution environment and a dedicated static IP. Verify My Funded Futures' policy on VPS connections before committing.
2. TradersProxy with a Chicago node (verify DC IP compatibility first)
TradersProxy has Chicago-region nodes that reduce routing hops to CME infrastructure. The shared data-centre exit IP improves routing quality but requires My Funded Futures policy verification before use.
3. Direct residential ISP (always policy-safe)
A residential ISP connection is never flagged as a proxy or VPN. If your ISP routes reasonably to Chicago, this is the lowest-risk option from a compliance standpoint.
4. Dedicated-IP tier from TradersProxy (coming)
When this tier ships, it will offer a unique exit IP per user with Chicago nodes — addressing both IP uniqueness and routing quality for US futures prop firms. Read about dedicated IPs →
Always verify My Funded Futures' current connection policy before using any infrastructure beyond a direct ISP. The routing quality benefit is real; the policy compatibility must be confirmed directly.
My Funded Futures network FAQ
My Funded Futures connects to CME-adjacent co-location in Chicago and New York. US traders see 5–30 ms. European traders see 80–130 ms. Asian traders see 180–250 ms via most ISPs.
Verify directly with My Funded Futures before using a VPS. Their policy on VPS and data-centre IPs should be confirmed from their current published terms.

My Funded Futures focuses on CME futures contracts. Their evaluation covers instruments such as ES, NQ, CL, and similar CME products.
Open your trading platform, find the server hostname in connection settings, and ping it for 60 seconds. Note the min-max jitter spread — this is more meaningful than the average for trading quality.
No. Changing connection method mid-evaluation creates IP inconsistency. Set up your connection before day one and leave it unchanged.
My Funded Futures is a futures prop firm. Their evaluation covers CME instruments. This differs from forex-focused prop firms like FTMO which use London broker infrastructure and MT4/MT5 platforms.
