Evaluation rules
Profit target
Evaluation only — 50K $3,000; 100K $6,000; 150K $9,000. No profit target on Sim-Funded.
No evaluation; each payout requires 5% — 25K $1,250; 50K $2,500; 100K $5,000; 150K $7,500
Max drawdown
EOD trailing, locks at Initial Simulated Capital — 50K $2,000; 100K $3,500; 150K $5,000. Equity cannot hit the limit. The limit only rises. After a breach, pay a Reset Fee or wait for the next monthly subscription.

Funded rules
Funded drawdown
Same EOD trailing max drawdown as Evaluation, locked at Initial Simulated Capital. Soft daily loss on Sim-Funded only.
EOD trailing; locks at starting balance + $100 after drawdown + $100 profit or first payout
Consistency rule
40% Best Day during Evaluation — not a hard breach; keep trading until Best Day is ≤ 40% of total profit.
25% on Elite Sim Funded accounts · no single trading day's profit can be more than 25% of total profitsfirm-level
Consistency rule (funded)
None — no Consistency Rule on the Sim-Funded Account
15%; best day ≤15% of payout-cycle profit
News trading (challenge)
Allowed, provided the trade is not a Forbidden Trading Practice. News-event concentration that is inconsistent with broader trading can still fail the risk-management standard.

Max live balance
Max 3 concurrent Sim-Funded accounts; up to $450,000 simulated capital. Live Funded is invite-only.
Ignite Funded: maximum 10 active accounts, all the exact same size
Scaling plan
Sim-Funded only; scales with EOD profit above Initial Simulated Capital and scales back down if that profit falls. 50K starts at 2 contracts (up to 5): $0–999 → 2; $1,000–1,999 → 3; $2,000+ → 5. 100K starts at 4 (up to 10): $0–999 → 4; $1,000–1,999 → 5; $2,000–2,999 → 8; $3,000+ → 10. 150K starts at 6 (up to 15): $0–999 → 6; $1,000–1,999 → 8; $2,000–2,999 → 10; $3,000–4,499 → 12; $4,500+ → 15. Evaluation uses the full size cap (5 / 10 / 15) with no scaling.

Trading rules
Weekend holding
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.
Not allowed
Overnight holding
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.
Not allowed; positions automatically close by 4:10 PM ET
Hedging
Opposite positions are allowed on a single account only. Offsetting across FTMO accounts, other firms, or other people is prohibited.
Cross-account hedging prohibited; same-account hedging is not expressly documented
Copy trading
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.
Up to 10 IGNITE accounts of identical size; no cross-model or cross-size copying
Expert advisors (EAs)
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.
Not allowed; bots, scripts and automated systems are prohibited
Other restrictions
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.
Trades >10 seconds; no overnight/weekend holding; no automation; no cross-model/size copying; general prohibited-practice rules apply
