FTMO vs FundingPips: Full Comparison
| Rule |  |  |
|---|---|---|
| Drawdown | Varies Varies by program: the 2-Step (Standard) uses a static 10% max loss fixed from the initial balance; the 1-Step uses a daily-recalculated trailing max loss. Not tick-by-tick on unrealised intraday peaks. | Varies Varies by plan: the 1-Step and 2-Step (Standard/Pro) use a static max loss fixed from the starting balance; only the Zero model uses a trailing drawdown until 5% profit is locked. |
| Consistency rule | Yes Best Day Rule: the best day must not exceed 50% of Positive Days' Profit (closed P/L from profitable days only). Breaching it is NOT a fail; the trader keeps trading to dilute the ratio. Two caveats: the FAQ says there are 'no additional consistency requirements' while T&C 7.6.9 reserves the right to impose 'temporary or permanent consistency measures' at FTMO's discretion; and FTMO Futures uses a different rule, 40% of TOTAL profit. | Varies |
