Velotrade vs FTMO: Full Comparison
| Rule |  |  |
|---|---|---|
| Drawdown | Static All challenges use static drawdown. Floor is fixed from starting balance and never moves for the life of the account. Limits differ by plan: CLASSIC 2-Step 5% daily / 10% max, CLASSIC 1-Step 4% daily / 7% max, PRO 1-Step 3% daily / 3% max. The figures below are the CLASSIC 2-Step values. | 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. |
| Consistency rule | None Edge | 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. |
| News trading | Yes | Varies Normal accounts ban trades 2 min before/after restricted news; Swing accounts are exempt. |
| Weekend holding | Yes | Varies Allowed on Swing accounts; Normal accounts must close before the weekend. |
| EAs / bots | Yes | Varies EAs allowed but bans gap/news bots, arbitrage and opposite-position hedging. Hyperactivity clause is conditional: >2,000 server requests/day by an EA that causes server overload. |
