PF1 IP Address and Trading Infrastructure Guide

When you use Prop Firm One (PF1) to manage your trading accounts, all trading activity is processed through our secure, dedicated infrastructure. This guide explains how our IP system works and what you need to know about trading through PF1.

PF1 Dedicated IP Address

All trading activity routed through PF1 is processed using our dedicated IP address:

EU-London Server: 18.132.65.239

If you or your prop firm see this IP address connected to your trading accounts, it indicates that trades were executed through PF1's platform. This is completely legitimate PF1-related activity.

How PF1's Infrastructure Works

Secure Server Processing

When you connect your accounts to PF1, all trades are executed through our secure servers rather than your personal device. This means:

  • Your personal IP address is not used for placing trades

  • All trading activity runs through PF1's dedicated infrastructure

  • This ensures stability, security, and compliance with prop firm requirements

Why We Use Dedicated IPs

Our dedicated IP system provides several key benefits:

  • Consistent connectivity to prop firm platforms

  • Enhanced security for your trading data

  • Reliable trade execution through stable server connections

  • Compliance with prop firm technical requirements

Partner Firm Status and IP Whitelisting

Official Partner Firms

If your prop firm is an official PF1 partner (listed on PropFirmMatch.com):

  • Fully Whitelisted: Our IPs and Client IDs (CIDs) are pre-approved

  • No Risk of Violations: Copy trading is fully compliant with their systems

  • No Account Flagging: Your trading activity will not be flagged as suspicious

  • Seamless Integration: Trades execute smoothly without technical issues

Non-Partner Firms

If your prop firm is not yet an official PF1 partner:

  • Potential Recognition Issues: Their systems may not recognize PF1's IP address

  • Possible Flagging: Strict monitoring systems might flag third-party access

  • Manual Approval May Be Required: You may need to get explicit permission

Important Recommendations

For Official Partner Firms

You can use PF1's copy trading and account management features with complete confidence. All technical requirements have been pre-arranged between PF1 and your prop firm.

For Non-Partner Firms

Always confirm before using PF1:

  1. Contact your prop firm directly to ask about trade copier usage

  2. Explain that you want to use PF1 for account management

  3. Provide our IP address (18.132.65.239) if they need to whitelist it

  4. Get written confirmation that using PF1 is permitted

  5. Save their response for your records

Questions to Ask Your Prop Firm

  • "Is using a trade copier or account management platform allowed?"

  • "Do I need to register any IP addresses for third-party tools?"

  • "Are there any restrictions on automated or copied trading?"

  • "What information do you need about the PF1 platform?"

What Prop Firms Will See

When you use PF1, your prop firm's systems will show:

  • Login Location: London, UK (EU server location)

  • IP Address: 18.132.65.239

  • Trading Activity: Normal trading patterns based on your strategies

  • Account Access: Regular API or platform connections

This activity is completely legitimate and represents your authorized use of PF1's platform.

Data Protection

  • All trading data is encrypted and securely transmitted

  • Your account credentials are protected with industry-standard security
