Where Stampede Operates

Built for US Traders. All 50 States.

Stampede is built US-first, and it's open to traders worldwide. US traders are welcome in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, with no regional asterisk and no state carve-out. Any US resident can buy a challenge or an instant account. And if you trade from outside the US, you're welcome too, subject to the short restricted list below.

That matters because the US-facing options most traders find leave states out. The FTMO and OANDA route, for example, skips Arkansas, Delaware, Louisiana, Montana, and South Carolina. We built Stampede to take the trader those carve-outs leave at the door. More on that on the FTMO alternative page.

What Onboarding Looks Like

Buying a challenge is an e-commerce checkout. You pay a fee for the evaluation service, not a deposit, and you start trading a simulated account. You pay the fee in cryptocurrency. We run identity verification once, at the funded stage, before your first payout, so the only people we ask for documents are the ones we are about to pay. Payouts go out in USDC, processed same day and landing in minutes, so a US bank account is never required to collect.

Trading From Outside the US

International traders are welcome. The challenge is a simulated evaluation, so you can buy and trade it from most of the world. The exceptions are sanctioned and restricted jurisdictions, listed on the restricted countries page and in the Terms, and this site is not directed at residents of any place where its use would be contrary to local law. One note on the family: LHFX, the separate real-money brokerage built by the same team, does not serve US persons. Stampede is the separate simulated brand, and it welcomes traders in the US and abroad.
