FTMO — Firm Details

About Company

FTMO offers trading on several platforms — MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView — with access to forex, indices, commodities, stocks and cryptocurrencies. The evaluation has no time limit, and in case of failure without breaking the rules, you can retake it for free; in 2-Step the participation fee is refunded with the first payout; in 1-Step and the Instant Account it is not refunded. Successful traders can increase their capital through the Scaling Plan — up to $2 million. In addition to trading, analytical tools MetriX and Trading Journal are available for analyzing trades and risk control, as well as a trading psychology coaching program. Top participants can join the Premium Programme — with a fixed salary and relocation to the Quantlane quant trading team.

Official trading rules and prohibited practices

Trading rulesThe company sets requirements that the trader must comply with at all stages of cooperation — both during the evaluation period and after receiving an FTMO Account. All FTMO accounts, including the FTMO Account, use fully fictitious funds.

Requirements for passing the one-step evaluation
The trader must achieve a profit of 10% of the initial account amount. This requirement applies exclusively during the evaluation period and is canceled after receiving an FTMO Account.
The loss for one trading day must not exceed 3% of the account amount. The corresponding limit is recalculated daily at midnight Central European Time based on the balance recorded at the start of the current day. The requirement applies both during the evaluation period and after receiving an FTMO Account.
The total loss must not exceed 10% of the initial account amount. This limit is calculated daily based on the highest balance achieved, so the allowable loss amount can only increase and cannot be reduced. Upon receiving a payout and opening a new account, the limit is set anew at 90% of the initial amount. The requirement applies both during the evaluation period and after receiving an FTMO Account.
Consistency rule (for orders created on or after 12 Oct 2026): the Best Day must not exceed 50% of total profit, where total profit is the cumulative sum of closed profits and losses across all trading days. This requirement applies both during the evaluation period and after receiving an FTMO Account, and is a condition for receiving a payout.
Requirements for passing the two-step evaluation

In the first step, the trader must achieve a profit of 10% of the initial account amount; in the second step — 5%. After successfully completing both steps, no profit requirement is set on the FTMO Account.
The loss for one trading day must not exceed 5% of the account amount. The limit is recalculated daily at midnight Central European Time. The requirement applies at both evaluation steps and remains in effect after receiving an FTMO Account.
The total loss must not exceed 10% of the initial account amount. Unlike the one-step format, this limit is fixed and does not change throughout the entire cooperation period. The requirement applies at both steps and remains in effect after receiving an FTMO Account.
The trader must execute at least one trade on each of at least four different days in the first step and at least one trade on each of at least four different days in the second step. The requirement applies only during the evaluation period and is canceled after receiving an FTMO Account.
Trading rules during news releases and on weekends
These restrictions apply exclusively to FTMO Accounts and do not apply during the evaluation period, regardless of the chosen format.
On main-type accounts, it is prohibited to open or close trades, including pending orders, stop-loss orders, and take-profit orders, from two minutes before to two minutes after the release of certain significant news events for the relevant instruments. Triggering a stop-loss or take-profit order during this period is also considered a violation. For instruments not related to the published event, the restriction does not apply. Positions on main-type accounts must also be closed before the start of the weekend.
On accounts intended for holding positions over a long period, these restrictions do not apply: trades may remain open during news releases and over the weekend.
Prohibited trading practices
The use of any strategies that exploit technical errors of the service, including price display errors, delays in quote updates, or the use of external or slow data sources, is prohibited.
It is prohibited to execute trades or combinations thereof for manipulative purposes, including in coordination with other persons or between linked accounts, including accounts opened with other service providers — for example, simultaneously opening opposite positions on different accounts.
It is prohibited to use trading strategies that cannot be replicated under real market conditions, including opening positions significantly larger or smaller in size or quantity compared to the trader's normal trading activity, as well as systematically accumulating risk on a single instrument or a group of interrelated instruments.
Actions that contradict the terms of service or could cause financial, reputational, or other damage to the company are prohibited, including excessive use of leverage, excessive exposure, deliberately one-sided trades, and the sequential transfer of capital between accounts.
The use of automated trading programs that cause excessive load on the trading server is prohibited, in particular exceeding two thousand server requests per day per account.
The use of strategies aimed at artificially distributing profits across multiple trading days without a corresponding proportional distribution of market risk is prohibited, including hedging or holding opposite positions on the same or highly correlated instruments.
The company's services are intended solely for the trader's personal use; transferring account management to third parties is not allowed.
Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the cancellation of results of individual trades, restriction of access to the trading platform, suspension from the evaluation, loss of the right to receive a payout, or termination of the agreement with the trader unilaterally.
