FTMO
HQ: Czech Republic · Founded 2014
Strong: established brand, decade+ payout history. Weak: forex-first rule design, trailing drawdown, consistency rule, news/weekend restrictions, all poorly suited to crypto.
Profit split
1-Step: 90%. 2-Step: 80%, rising to 90% via the Scaling Plan.

Trading Rules
| Drawdown model | Varies by model 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 | 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. |
| Max risk per trade | No cap Trading objectives list no max lot, max position, or max-risk-per-trade rule; only the 5% daily and 10% max loss constrain sizing. |
| News trading | Varies |
| Weekend holding | Varies |
| EAs / bots | Varies |
| Fee refund | Varies 2-Step fee refunded 100% with the first reward; 1-Step fee not refunded. |
| Challenge types | 1-step, 2-step |
| Account sizes | $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $200,000 |
| Payout speed | monthly |
| Payout methods | Bank wire, Crypto, Skrill, Wise |
