The short answer
MetaTrader 5 is not available to traders based in the United States. If you are a US resident, use TradeLocker instead. It fully supports UZO accounts, and your rules, leverage and 90/10 reward split stay exactly the same.
This is purely a matter of platform availability, not a UZO restriction on US traders, and it changes nothing about your account, your evaluation or how you are rewarded. You still trade real, live prices on simulated capital, under the same conditions as everyone else.
What to use instead
UZO supports two platforms, and one of them is available to US-based traders, so you have a clear path forward.
Platform | Available to US traders |
TradeLocker | Yes |
MetaTrader 5 | No |
TradeLocker is a modern, browser-based platform that runs without any download, so you can trade from any device. It connects to your UZO account and streams the same real, live prices as MT5 would, with every rule applied identically.
If you have never used it, that is perfectly fine. It is designed to be picked up quickly, and our platform overview articles walk you through login and your first trade.
Your rules and split do not change
Choosing TradeLocker instead of MT5 has no effect on the terms of your account. The platform is simply the window you look through. Everything that defines your evaluation and your rewards lives on the UZO side, not the platform side.
Your account size is unchanged.
Your profit target and drawdown rules are unchanged. Drawdowns are measured on your equity, including open positions, and the daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC.
Leverage stays at 1:100.
Your reward split stays at 90/10. You keep 90% of your profit, the same on every product and at every account size, which is among the most generous shares available.
The same 1,300+ instruments are available across all six markets: forex, metals, crypto, indices, shares and energies.
You keep 90%, on any platform
No matter which platform you trade on, your reward split is unchanged. You keep 90% of your profit, the same on every product and at every account size. The platform never touches your split.
If you already bought MT5
Your platform is selected when you purchase your account. If you bought an MT5 account and then find you cannot access it because you are based in the United States, there is no cause for concern and no need to buy a second account. Contact our team and we will move you to TradeLocker so you can start trading.
Reach out with your order details and we will sort it out for you.
