Break-even return

Return needed on the funded account for your share to cover the fee.

Cost per $100K

$278

Cheaper than the $418 median for $50K futures challenges at other firms.

What the rules mean in practice

  • To pass, grow the $50K account by $3,000 (6%) without breaking a loss limit.
  • On any single day you can lose up to $1,000 (2%). Check FTMO Futures's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
  • The account fails if you lose $3,000 (6%). This is end-of-day trailing drawdown: the loss limit moves up once a day, based on your end-of-day balance, and ignores swings during the session.
  • Consistency rule: Evaluation only: best day may not exceed 50% of total profit; no consistency rule on the Sim-Funded Account
  • At a 90% split, you need about 0.31% return on the funded account to earn back the $139 fee for one month.
  • Payouts: every 5 days, after 5 qualifying days in the cycle with at least $200 / $300 / $500 of profit each (50K / 100K / 150K).
  • Dollar rules: profit target $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000, maximum drawdown $3,000 / $4,500 / $6,000 and daily loss $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000.
  • The daily loss limit is hard in both the Evaluation and the Sim-Funded Account: touching it ends the account. It is measured from each day's starting balance.
  • The drawdown limit trails the highest closing balance, can only rise and locks permanently at the starting balance.
  • Each request can take up to 100% of profit above the starting balance, capped at $5,000 / $6,000 / $8,000; withdrawing everything leaves no room above the locked drawdown.
  • On the Sim-Funded Account the contract limit begins at 2 / 4 / 6 contracts and scales up with end-of-day profit.
  • The subscription is billed monthly until the Evaluation is passed, then cancelled automatically. Resets cost $129 / $189 / $259.
  • No activation fee.
