Final Verdict on FTMO
FTMO may suit traders who value an established evaluation process and can accept the 75/100 overall score recorded in our August/September 2026 review, which reflects our editorial assessment at that time rather than measured execution, spread or payout performance. Verified 2-Step terms include 10% and 5% profit targets, a 5% daily loss limit and a 10% static maximum loss. The 2-Step entry fee may be refunded with the first reward, though this is not guaranteed, and the 1-Step entry fee is not refunded. US residents are directed to a separate service at ftmo.oanda.com rather than excluded outright.

Our Take on FTMO
FTMO has operated since 2015, which is why its stored August/September 2026 overall score of 75/100 can sit below its reputation when cost and reward competitiveness are weighted. The 2-Step path carries an 80% base reward share, rising to 90% only when Scaling Plan or Premium Programme conditions are met. A current fee quote could not be verified from public pages, so no price comparison winner is claimed.
The main evaluation products are the 2-Step FTMO Challenge and the distinct 1-Step path. The verified 2-Step terms require 10% profit in phase one and 5% in phase two, a 5% daily loss limit reset at 00:00 CE(S)T, a 10% static maximum loss, and a minimum of 4 trading days per phase. The 2-Step entry fee may be refunded with the first reward. Current public pages did not expose a reproducible fee quote.
Reward terms are conditional rather than automatic. The 2-Step funded account starts at an 80% reward share and can reach 90% only when Scaling Plan or Premium Programme conditions are satisfied. A reward can be requested from the 14th day after the first placed trade, with positions and pending orders closed; account review typically takes 1 to 2 business days, and sending after invoice approval typically another 1 to 2 business days. Current platforms are MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView.
This path is best suited to traders who prioritize rule clarity and a long operating history. The current 2-Step fee is unknown from public pages, so no price comparison can be made. Verified terms show a fixed 80% base reward share, with a 90% share available only when Scaling Plan or Premium Programme conditions are met. US residents face a separate service with its own restrictions and requirements.

Scope of this assessment
- Assessment
- Published data assessment
- Account evidence
- No trading or payout receipts recorded
- Data checked
- Editorial review date
Each review is based on published data, not on our own trading. Where we record dated purchases or payout receipts, the evidence register lists them; where a review shows no such evidence, that absence does not document a completed test or a received payout, only that we hold no record of one.
Sources are checked on the date shown, which can differ from both our account experience and the checkout terms presented to a customer today. Our review score is an editorial judgement, distinct from any Trustpilot rating. Full details are in our methodology.
Reviews draw on scoped, dated programme sources, and unknown or conflicting facts are flagged rather than smoothed over. BestPropFirms is owned by Compare Forex Brokers Pty Ltd and receives affiliate funding when readers sign up with firms, which you can read about on our about page. Spotted an error?

Location Availability
FTMO availability depends on the official country policy, and eligibility is determined individually rather than by a simple country list. The global service covers the 1-Step and 2-Step Challenges with MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView, while US clients are directed to a separate service at ftmo.oanda.com with its own requirements, MT5 and TradingView platforms, and state restrictions. See the global eligibility FAQ and FTMO US eligibility page for current terms.
Challenge Accounts
FTMO currently offers two evaluation products: FTMO Challenge: 1-Step and FTMO Challenge: 2-Step. Both use simulated trading accounts with fictitious funds. The 1-Step Challenge has one evaluation phase, while the 2-Step Challenge uses a Challenge phase followed by Verification. Traders can choose account balances in USD, GBP, EUR, CZK, CAD, AUD or CHF.
The FTMO Challenge fee is a one-time fee. For the 2-Step Challenge, the fee may be refunded with the first reward withdrawal after successfully reaching an FTMO Account. For the 1-Step Challenge, the fee is not refunded after passing.
FTMO Account Currencies
FTMO account sizes are not USD-only. Traders can choose their simulated account currency from USD, GBP, EUR, CZK, CAD, AUD and CHF. The account balance selected during the FTMO Challenge carries through to the FTMO Account after passing, and trading objectives scale as a percentage of that selected balance.
| Currency | Available account sizes |
|---|---|
| USD | $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $200,000 |
| GBP | £10,000, £20,000, £35,000, £70,000, £140,000 |
| EUR | €10,000, €20,000, €40,000, €80,000, €160,000 |
| CZK | Kč250,000, Kč500,000, Kč1,000,000, Kč2,000,000, Kč4,000,000 |
| CAD | C$15,000, C$30,000, C$60,000, C$120,000, C$240,000 |
| AUD | A$15,000, A$30,000, A$65,000, A$130,000, A$260,000 |
| CHF | CHF10,000, CHF20,000, CHF40,000, CHF80,000, CHF160,000 |
Profit targets, Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss are percentage-based, so the cash value changes depending on the account currency and account size selected.

Evaluation Products
FTMO Challenge: 2-Step
The 2-Step Challenge is FTMO's classic evaluation model. It has a 10% target in the Challenge phase and a lower 5% target in Verification. It is available as either Standard or Swing, making it the better option for traders who need Swing conditions, weekend holding flexibility on the FTMO Account, or a refundable challenge fee.
| Evaluation process | 2 phases |
| Phase 1 target | 10% |
| Phase 2 target | 5% |
| Max Daily Loss | 5% |
| Max Loss | 10% |
| Max Loss type | Static |
| Minimum trading days | 4 days per phase |
| Trading period | Unlimited |
| Reward | 80% base; 90% with conditions |
| Refund | May be refunded with first reward; conditions apply |
| Account type | Standard or Swing |
FTMO Challenge: 1-Step
The 1-Step evaluation is a single-phase challenge. The Maximum Daily Loss is 3% and the Maximum Loss is 10% end-of-day trailing, based on the highest end-of-day balance or initial balance (whichever is higher).
FTMO does not set a fixed minimum trading day requirement for the 1-Step Challenge, but the Best Day Rule affects how quickly it can realistically be passed. The most profitable day cannot exceed 50% of Positive Days' Profit when passing the challenge or qualifying for a reward.
The 1-Step Challenge is Standard only and does not offer Swing conditions.
The 1-Step Challenge fee is not refunded after passing.
| Evaluation process | 1 phase |
| Profit target | 10% |
| Max Daily Loss | 3% |
| Max Loss | 10% |
| Max Loss type | End-of-day trailing |
| Trading period | Unlimited |
| Reward | 90% |
| Best Day Rule | 50% |
| Refund | No |
| Account type | Standard only |
Account Types: Standard vs Swing
FTMO offers Standard and Swing account types on the 2-Step Challenge. The 1-Step Challenge is Standard only. Swing is useful for traders who need weekend holding and selected news trading flexibility after reaching an FTMO Account.
| Condition | 2-Step Standard | 2-Step Swing | 1-Step Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Available on product | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Swing option available | No | Yes | No |
| Overnight holding on FTMO Account | No | Yes | No |
| Weekend holding on FTMO Account | No | Yes | No |
| News restriction on FTMO Account | 2-minute rule applies | No restriction | 2-minute rule applies |
| During Evaluation | Restrictions do not apply | ||
Traders who need Swing conditions should choose the 2-Step Challenge. The 1-Step Challenge is Standard only.
Scaling Plan
FTMO's Scaling Plan increases account balance by 25% per scale-up. To qualify, traders must complete a minimum 4-month cycle, achieve at least 10% total net simulated profit in the 4-month trading window, have at least 2 rewards processed, and maintain a positive balance at time of scale-up.
Traders can reach a maximum FTMO Account allocation of $400,000 or equivalent before scaling. The Scaling Plan can grow accounts up to $2,000,000 or equivalent. 2-Step rewards start at 80% and the Scaling Plan upgrades to 90%.

Maximum pre-scaling allocation by currency
| Currency | Maximum pre-scaling allocation |
|---|---|
| USD | $400,000 |
| EUR | €320,000 |
| GBP | £280,000 |
| CAD | C$480,000 |
| AUD | A$520,000 |
| CHF | CHF320,000 |
| CZK | Kč8,000,000 |
FTMO does not set a fixed limit on the number of FTMO Challenge accounts, but it applies a maximum FTMO Account allocation before scaling. This limit is $400,000 or the currency equivalent across active FTMO Accounts.
Account merging
FTMO Accounts can only be merged if they use the same base currency, are not in drawdown, have no reward due for withdrawal, and come from the same product type. 1-Step FTMO Accounts cannot be merged with 2-Step FTMO Accounts.
The selected account currency carries through the account setup, so scaling and merging should be treated as currency-equivalent figures where the account is not in USD.
Premium Programme
FTMO's Premium Programme can work alongside the Scaling Plan. Traders who qualify through the 1-Step Challenge can reach Prime Status, but the 1-Step route has a more limited set of Premium Programme benefits than the 2-Step route. Supreme Status requires an active $400K FTMO Account or equivalent, subject to FTMO's account-size and merging rules.
Other Rules
News Trading
News trading is allowed during the Evaluation Process. On Standard FTMO Accounts, traders cannot open or close trades on targeted instruments within 2 minutes before or after selected high-impact news releases. Swing accounts are exempt from selected news restrictions. The 1-Step Challenge is Standard only, so Swing news flexibility is available only through the 2-Step Challenge.
Weekend & Overnight Holding
Weekend and overnight holding are allowed during the Evaluation Process. On FTMO Accounts, weekend and overnight holding is available on Swing accounts. Standard FTMO Accounts must follow the relevant holding restrictions.
Trade Access
Only the client may access and perform simulated trades. Third parties cannot trade for you or manage your account.
Phase Evaluation
FTMO will not evaluate a phase until all simulated trades and pending orders are closed.
Multiple Accounts
The total FTMO Account allocation across accounts held by the trader or affiliated parties cannot exceed $400,000 or equivalent before scaling.
Automation
FTMO supports automation tools such as EAs on supported platforms, but trading remains subject to FTMO's forbidden trading practices and risk management rules.
Account Modification
Platform and account modifications at FTMO are conditional and depend on the product and stage reached; the current official platform FAQ lists MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView for the 1-Step, 2-Step and FTMO Account. Verified modification conditions are that no trade has been placed on the current account, FTMO Account modifications can be processed after each reward withdrawal, a 2-Step Swing account may change to Standard but Standard cannot change to Swing, and the 1-Step does not offer Swing. Full details are in the official modification FAQ.
Platform changes are not available during active trading progress or on Free Trial accounts.
Simulated environment: All FTMO Challenge accounts are simulated accounts with fictitious funds. Trading is not in real financial instruments. FTMO is an educational and technology-driven company, not a broker.
Challenge rules verified against the official FTMO Trading Objectives, verified August 2026.
Verdict on FTMO Challenges
FTMO offers two evaluation products: 1-Step and 2-Step. Earlier site fee examples were €79 for the $10K 1-Step Challenge and €89 for the $10K 2-Step Challenge; the current 2-Step quote was not verified. Traders can choose account balances in USD, GBP, EUR, CZK, CAD, AUD or CHF. The 2-Step provides a two-phase structure with a 10% Challenge target and 5% Verification target, while the 1-Step uses one evaluation phase with a 10% target, 3% Maximum Daily Loss, end-of-day trailing Maximum Loss and a 50% Best Day Rule. The 2-Step is available as Standard or Swing, while the 1-Step is Standard only.
Commission Fees & Pricing
FTMO uses RAW-style spreads with commission-based pricing on selected instruments. Commission rates vary by symbol and platform, so traders should check live symbol specifications inside their selected platform before trading.
Note: Specific spread and commission figures should be verified against the current official FTMO Symbols page, as these may change over time.
Verdict on Spreads & Commissions

Verdict on Markets
FTMO provides access to a wide range of simulated CFD markets including forex, exotics, metals, cash CFDs, crypto CFDs and equities CFDs. Bonds should not be listed as a current confirmed asset class.
Trading Platforms
FTMO's current platform FAQ lists four platforms for new Challenge and FTMO Account clients: MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), cTrader and TradingView, with simulated TradingView execution enabled through the OANDA Broker Profile on the official FTMO panel.
MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
The most popular forex trading platform globally. Supports automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs) with over 15,000 available. Includes 30 built-in indicators, 9 timeframes, and 24 analytical objects (Fibonacci, Gann tools). Available on desktop, web, and mobile.
MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
Enhanced version with 38 built-in indicators, 21 timeframes, 44 analytical objects, an economic calendar, and real-time market news. Suitable for trading a wider range of asset classes. Available on desktop, web, and mobile.
cTrader
cTrader offers advanced charting, order management and cTrader Automate/cBots functionality. Any automation must still follow FTMO's trading rules and forbidden trading practices.
Verdict on Trading Platforms
FTMO's current platform offering of MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView gives traders charting, manual execution and automation options on supported platforms. Note that the separate US service at ftmo.oanda.com lists only MT5 and TradingView, so global platform availability should not be assumed for US clients.
Payments & Profit Payout
FTMO calls its payouts "rewards". Rewards are based on simulated profits from the FTMO Account.

Reward Structure
On the FTMO Account, a reward can be requested from the 14th day after the first placed trade, with all positions and pending orders closed and objectives satisfied. Account review typically takes 1 to 2 business days after the request, and sending typically follows within 1 to 2 business days after invoice approval. These are typical steps, not guarantees of receipt.
2-Step rewards start at 80% of simulated profits. Through the Scaling Plan, this increases to 90%.
1-Step rewards are 90% of simulated profits on the FTMO Account.
The 2-Step Challenge fee can be refunded with the first reward withdrawal after successfully reaching an FTMO Account. The 1-Step Challenge fee is not refunded after passing.
Payment Methods (Challenge Fees)
FTMO Challenge fees can be paid by bank wire transfer, debit/credit card, cryptocurrencies or Skrill. Apple Pay and Google Pay are also shown as instant card-based payment options. Availability may vary by country.

Verdict on Rewards & Payouts
The 2-Step path starts at an 80% reward share and can reach 90% when Scaling Plan or Premium Programme conditions are met, while reward requests are possible from the 14th day after the first trade. The key fee distinction is that the 2-Step entry fee may be refunded with the first reward, whereas the 1-Step entry fee is not refunded. Payment method availability can vary by country.
