25K $1,500; 50K $3,000; 100K $6,000; 150K $9,000
Max drawdown
EOD trailing, locks at Initial Simulated Capital — 50K $3,000; 100K $4,500; 150K $6,000. Equity cannot hit the limit. The limit only rises. After a breach, pay a Reset Fee or wait for the next monthly subscription.

Daily loss limit

Same EOD trailing max drawdown as Evaluation, locked at Initial Simulated Capital. Hard daily loss continues on Sim-Funded.
EOD trailing; locks at starting balance + $100
Consistency rule
50% Best Day during Evaluation — not a hard breach; keep trading until Best Day is ≤ 50% of total profit.

Max live balance
Max 3 concurrent Sim-Funded accounts; up to $450,000 simulated capital. Live Funded is invite-only.
Up to 5 Simulated Funded Accounts at any time, per user and per household, any combination of Growth, Select Flex/Daily and Lightning
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.

Not recorded
Hedging
Opposite positions are allowed on a single account only. Offsetting across FTMO accounts, other firms, or other people is prohibited.
Prohibited
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.

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 recorded
Other restrictions
