    How to use SimpleFX in the USA?

    If you want to use a Bitcoin margin broker like SimpleFX or any other when you’re in the USA, you need to make use of a VPN in order to circumvent any problems. When traveling to the US of course you want to be able to still manage your trades on SimpleFX but you should avoid any questions why you’re logging in from US territory. When using a virtual private network you can shield your true IP address and use one of another country. The VPN service will lead all your data traffic through a foreign server of your choice (in this case you would choose one where Bitcoin margin trading and CFDs are allowed), so the trading platform will just see a login from an IP where margin trading is allowed and they won’t get an alert because someone logged in from the USA. When margin trading platforms like SimpleFX see user logins from the US, they might ask for your ID to make sure you’re not a US citizen. If you want to avoid this, a VPN is the way to go.
