Where they differ

No single row separates these two. A row is only ranked when both values share a unit — a percentage is never ranked against a dollar figure, and a monthly fee is never ranked against a one-time one. Read the table below and weigh the rules yourself.

Funded rules

Funded drawdown
Starting tier: LiveSim® EOD / Live trailing; 50K $2,000, 100K $3,500, 200K $6,000
Same EOD trailing max drawdown as Evaluation, locked at Initial Simulated Capital. Soft daily loss on Sim-Funded only.
Consistency rule
30% consistency rule during evaluation
40% Best Day during Evaluation — not a hard breach; keep trading until Best Day is ≤ 40% of total profit.
Consistency rule (funded)
None on LiveSim® or Live accounts
None — no Consistency Rule on the Sim-Funded Account
News trading (challenge)

Evaluation uses the full size cap (5 / 10 / 15) with no scaling.

Trading rules

Weekend holding
Not allowed
Not allowed. Flat and cancel resting orders before 4:10 p.m. ET or session close, whichever is sooner. The platform auto-liquidates leftovers; relying on that is a Forbidden Trading Practice.
Overnight holding
Not allowed
Not allowed. A trading day runs 6:00 p.m. ET to 4:10 p.m. ET the next calendar day. No hold past market close.
Hedging
Not recorded
Opposite positions are allowed on a single account only. Offsetting across FTMO accounts, other firms, or other people is prohibited.
Copy trading
Not allowed
Copying another trader (signals, master accounts, or copiers) is prohibited. Copying across your own accounts is permitted if each account independently complies with every rule.
Expert advisors (EAs)
Not recorded
Automated trading is permitted except high-frequency, latency-arbitrage, or other abusive systems. The trader is responsible for bot errors. Third-party access to the account is prohibited.
Other restrictions
All positions and working orders flat by 3:50 PM CT; earlier/special flat periods apply to specified contracts
No trading within 2% of a CME daily price limit; no hold past session close; no exploiting sim/feed errors; no third-party account access. News-event concentration that is inconsistent with broader trading can fail the risk-management standard. Sim-Funded inactivity: warning after 30 days, closed after a further 30. See Forbidden Trading Practices.
Commission / lot
Varies by asset; micro contracts $0.82–$1.08 per contract per side
