Best Prop Trading Firms for Uzbek Traders in 2026

45 of the prop firms we track accept Uzbek traders. The full list is above, sorted by Trustpilot rating and challenge price.

We match each firm's restricted-countries list against the exact name "Uzbekistan" (case-insensitive), so a firm that restricts only a neighbouring country does not exclude Uzbekistan. No firm we track restricts Uzbekistan through a regional catch-all such as "CIS" or "Commonwealth of Independent States"; every restriction is published country-by-country. On funding, every challenge fee is quoted in US dollars while the national currency, the uzbek som (UZS), is not freely convertible on international markets, so the practical question for a Tashkent-based trader is how to convert som into the USD challenge fee.

Every challenge is priced in US dollars and the Uzbek som (UZS) is not freely convertible on international markets, so you cannot pay the fee in som directly. In practice Uzbek traders fund challenges with USDT (Tether) over a P2P market such as Binance or Bybit, with an international Visa or Mastercard where the issuing bank permits the transaction, or with Skrill. The domestic Uzbek card networks — Humo and Uzcard — and the local wallet apps Click and Payme are not accepted by any prop firm, because they settle in som and have no path to a firm's USD processor. If your card is declined for an international trading-services payment, crypto P2P is the most reliable fallback: you buy USDT with som on the exchange's P2P market and send it to the firm's wallet address, and the firm credits the challenge once the on-chain transfer confirms — usually within minutes. Always send the network the firm specifies (most accept TRC-20 or ERC-20 USDT); sending ERC-20 to a TRC-20 address is not recoverable.

Methods that work: USDT and USDC over their accepted networks, Skrill, international bank wire in USD, and international Visa or Mastercard where the firm's processor supports cards. Methods that do not work: the Humo and Uzcard domestic card networks, the Click and Payme local wallets, and any transfer denominated in som — none of these reach a prop firm's USD settlement account. For most Uzbek traders crypto is the cheapest and fastest path because it avoids both the card-decline risk and the bank's USD conversion spread; the firm quotes the challenge in USD and you send the USD-equivalent in USDT at the prevailing rate. Always confirm the firm's accepted networks on its payment page before sending, and keep the P2P trade receipt until the challenge is credited.

Uzbekistan runs on UTC+5 year-round and does not observe daylight saving time, so local clocks never move while London and New York shift with their own DST. The London session opens at 13:00 Tashkent time in the winter, when the UK is on GMT, and shifts to 12:00 Tashkent time in the summer, when the UK moves to British Summer Time. The New York session opens at 18:00 Tashkent time in the winter (US Eastern Standard Time) and 17:00 Tashkent time in the summer (US Eastern Daylight Time). The London–New York overlap — the most liquid window of the forex day — therefore lands between roughly 18:00 and 22:00 Tashkent time in winter and 17:00 to 21:00 in summer, squarely in the Uzbek evening. For an Uzbek trader with a day job, the New York session and the overlap fall after work, while the London open sits at midday; only the early Tokyo session falls outside normal waking hours.

No. Prop firms pay out in US dollars to crypto wallets (USDT, USDC), Skrill or international wire, not to local som accounts. You receive the payout in USD and convert to som yourself on a P2P exchange or, for wire, through your bank's inbound USD desk. KYC is required before the first payout — a passport or national ID and a proof-of-address document — and the payout goes to the method you chose at onboarding. No firm sends funds to a domestic Humo, Uzcard, Click or Payme account.

No. The firms that restrict Uzbekistan verify your registered country against your KYC documents, not your IP address, so a VPN changes nothing — an Uzbek passport or national ID is rejected at onboarding for those firms. Using a VPN or borrowed documents to evade the restriction also risks forfeiting any balance in the account. Choose one of the 45 firms above that accept Uzbek traders instead.

Challenge prices on this page range from under $50 for a small instant-funding or one-step evaluation account to over $1,000 for a large two-step evaluation, with the exact figure depending on account size, step count and the firm's pricing schedule. Because every firm above accepts Uzbek traders on the same terms as the rest of the world, you pay the same listed USD price as a trader in London or Dubai — there is no Uzbek surcharge and no regional pricing. To find the cheapest evaluations across all 45 accepting firms, filter the comparison table on /Challenges by price; the lowest-cost entries are usually the smaller account sizes on one-step and instant-funding programs.

Yes. Every reputable firm requires KYC before your first payout, and most require it before you start trading a funded account. For an Uzbek trader this means a passport or the Uzbek national ID card, plus a proof-of-address document such as a recent utility bill or bank statement in your name. Some firms ask for the document to be in Latin script or accompanied by a certified translation; check the firm's KYC page. KYC is one-time per firm, so once cleared you do not repeat it for subsequent challenges with the same provider.

Two forex prop firms restrict Uzbekistan: E8 Markets and FTMO. Both keep long restricted-country lists, and FTMO also restricts the other Central Asian states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan). Neither publishes a country-specific reason. The restriction is checked at KYC against your passport or national ID, so an Uzbek document is rejected at onboarding wherever you trade from.

Almost the whole forex prop market is open to you, so platform choice is wide: MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are the most widely supported, followed by cTrader, DXtrade, Match-Trader and TradeLocker. Each firm card above shows its platforms.

No. FTMO restricts both Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. E8 Markets restricts Uzbekistan but not Kazakhstan, while Funding Traders and Top One Trader restrict Kazakhstan but not Uzbekistan. Restrictions are published country by country, so if you trade from Kazakhstan, use the /best-prop-firms-kazakhstan page.
