FTMO Review

FTMO sells simulated trading evaluations and educational tools, with performance-based monetary rewards rather than live trading accounts or customer deposits. It offers CFD FTMO Challenge: 1-Step and FTMO Challenge: 2-Step products, plus FTMO Futures Growth and Pro evaluations marked Beta; the category reflects the explicitly identified futures instruments, while the CFD underlyings are not specified. Purchase prices are null in the supplied texts, although FTMO advertises 20% off its $100K 1-Step Challenge. FTMO lists CFD account sizes from $10,000 to $200,000 and futures sizes of $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000, and advertises futures rewards of up to 90% of simulated profits. The futures rules state that touching the end-of-day trailing drawdown limit with intraday equity fails an Evaluation or terminates a Sim-Funded Account, but evidence identifying the most common account-failure rule is null. Futures Evaluation rules mention a monthly subscription and a Reset Fee without prices; post-pass activation fees and recurring charges are null. Numeric trader payout caps are null, and the supplied futures payout section stops at the eligibility label '4 days @ $150+' without complete conditions. The imprint lists Czech companies and a Delaware corporation without allocating contracts by product or customer, and the governing law is null. FTMO states that it was established in 2015 and claims 4.5M+ customers or traders, $650M+ in rewards and a 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating, none independently verified here.
