$150K

90% trader / 10% firm

Evaluation only — 50K $3,000; 100K $6,000; 150K $9,000. No profit target on Sim-Funded.

5% in one step, all positions closed; no time limit

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.

3% end-of-day trailing: the floor rises at 17:00 ET with the highest end-of-day equity or balance, never falls, and locks at the starting balance

Evaluation none. Sim-Funded soft (auto-flat for the rest of the day; account stays open) — 50K $1,000; 100K $2,000; 150K $3,000.

None

None on Evaluation — accounts are assessed after the trading day ends. Payout eligibility is separate.

Same EOD trailing max drawdown as Evaluation, locked at Initial Simulated Capital. Soft daily loss on Sim-Funded only.

Same 3% end-of-day trailing floor; after a payout it moves to the starting balance and stays there

40% Best Day during Evaluation — not a hard breach; keep trading until Best Day is ≤ 40% of total profit.

40% in Step 1: best day under 40% of total closed profit; not a breach, keep trading to dilute it

None — no Consistency Rule on the Sim-Funded Account

None

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.

Not allowed: no positions opened or closed, and no stop loss or take profit fills, from 10 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news; no add-on offered

Not allowed: no positions opened or closed, and no stop loss or take profit fills, from 10 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news; no add-on offered

Max 3 concurrent Sim-Funded accounts; up to $450,000 simulated capital. Live Funded is invite-only.

Up to 5 funded accounts at once, at most 2 Premium ($750,000 at $150K each); $100,000 combined for traders in Malaysia, Pakistan, Indonesia and India. Unlimited evaluations.

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.

Monthly subscription. Reset is a paid restart, not a checkout add-on. Live Funded is invite-only and is not a purchasable product.

Every 4 days

First after 10 days, then every 10 days, with 1% profit in the cycle

4 separate days at or above the daily minimum (50K $150; 100K $250; 150K $300). Withdraw up to 50% of profit above Initial Simulated Capital. Minimum request $20; at least 50% of the request must be new-cycle profit.

10 days, 1% profit, 5 profitable days

4 qualifying days

5 profitable days per cycle, each closing 0.4%+ of the starting balance

After FTMO approval in the Client Area; paid in USD. No published processing-time SLA.

1–2 business days after KYC, most within 4–6 business hours; past 48 business hours a 1% bonus (max $500)

Monthly subscription; no activation fee. A Reset Fee is a paid restart of the same size (Growth $109 / $159 / $219; Pro $129 / $189 / $259). No pass-fee refund is documented.

Full refund within 14 days of purchase if no trade has been placed; none after a trade. No resets: a failed challenge gets a 10% discount code for a new one.

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: positions close before 17:00 ET every day

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: close every position before the 17:00 ET daily reset

Opposite positions are allowed on a single account only. Offsetting across FTMO accounts, other firms, or other people is prohibited.

Hedging between accounts is prohibited and a hard breach

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.

Prohibited: copying external accounts, group copy trading across linked accounts, or third-party EAs replicating trades without owning the source code

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.

Third-party EAs that replicate trades without owning the source code are prohibited; nothing else on automation is stated for futures

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.

Prohibited: arbitrage and latency exploitation, hedging between accounts, copy trading from external accounts or across linked accounts, third-party account management, gambling-style account churning, system exploits, bracket orders around news, and VPN or VPS use. Cross-account hedging, arbitrage, copy trading and account management are hard breaches. No more than 30% of total closed profit may come from trades held under 10 seconds; the excess is deducted. One trade every 30 days or the account closes for good.
