What is FTMO?
FTMO is a financial technology (Fintech) company operating in the Czech Republic, Europe. In 2022, it was recognized as the highest-growing company among Deloitte's top 50 high-tech companies in Europe. They provide proprietary trading services (Proprietary Trading Firm), which is why some people refer to this type of company as a Forex Prop Firm (Forex Proprietary Firm). You can also visit their official website to learn more about FTMO.
FTMO initially began as a local project in Europe called "Ziskejucet.cz", which translates from Slovak to English as "Profitable". It was a trading program launched by three partners in Prague in 2014. By 2017, it evolved into the international version, FTMO.com, with the aim of helping more traders improve their discipline and access greater capital opportunities.
As of now, FTMO has established an excellent reputation in various aspects, including user experience, community management, and comprehensive services. It is considered a leading company in the industry.
而這類的「外匯自營商」是自營商的其中一大類別，主要是以差價合約為主要的交易商品，另一大類別是以期貨商品為主的自營商，例如：Topstep ，但兩者都是屬於 Funding Programs 提供資金的方式。
FTMO's funding program aims to find profitable amateur traders and provide them with capital. If they make money, the traders get to share in the profits.
In simple terms, you can choose the amount of initial capital for your account. By paying an entry fee, they provide the capital and assume the risk, while you get to share in the profits!
Therefore, from the very beginning of the evaluation process, there are strict risk control measures in place. Additionally, the initial registration fee increases as the size of the trading account capital grows.
This model offers an alternative option for those who have the skills to profit in the market but lack capital, instead of risking their hard-earned money to face market risks.
Moreover, FTMO does not hold client funds for trading, unlike brokers who need to constantly develop new clients. As such, FTMO does not accept any deposits, which is the main difference between FTMO and brokers.
"I've divided the explanation of FTMO examination rules into two articles. This article provides a complete overview of FTMO's rules and introduction. The other article serves as a supplementary explanation of the rules. After reading this, I strongly recommend reading the supplementary rules as well, as many people have made mistakes or lost their rightful benefits during the examination due to unclear understanding of the rules. Please don't take them lightly."

What Types of Accounts Does FTMO Offer?
Each prop firm has its own set of criteria for designing account types. For example, they may have different standards for conditions such as account balance, risk ratio, maximum daily loss limit, total loss limit, total profit target, challenge duration, and registration fee.
FTMO's account type is only Normal. (The previously available Aggressive type has been removed.)
FTMO - Normal
In the Normal mode, there are two stages of evaluation. After passing these stages, you will receive a real account. The principal amount in the real account will be the same as the initial balance of the simulated account used during the evaluation.
Next, let's explain the detailed rules for different stages:
Registration stage
At the very beginning, you need to choose the initial account sizes: $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, or $200,000.
Each type of account balance has its own corresponding rules, risk management parameters, profit targets, and registration fees.
The registration fee is a one-time payment rather than a monthly payment system (some prop firms use monthly payments). If you pass the Stage One and Two evaluations and receive a real account, the registration fee will be fully refunded during the first profit split of your real account.
Demo Account Stage 1 | FTMO Challenge
After selecting the account balance, the actual evaluation process begins.
For the purpose of explanation, we'll use the $100,000 account size as an example from here on.
-
- Maximum Daily Loss: $5,000 (5%)
The maximum daily loss amount is calculated as 5% of the initial balance. At any point during the day, if your floating loss or closed market loss exceeds $5,000 and your account equity balance falls below $95,000, you will be in violation of the rules.
-
- Maximum Total Loss: $10,000 (10%)
The maximum total loss amount is calculated as 10% of the initial balance. At any point, if your floating loss or closed market loss exceeds $10,000 and your account equity balance falls below $90,000, you will be in violation of the rules.
-
- Challenge Duration:
30 daysUnlimited
- Challenge Duration:
Starting from 2023/7/13, the exam has no time limit, changing to an unlimited challenge period.
-
- Minimum Trading Days:
10 days4 days
- Minimum Trading Days:
The minimum trading days refer to having at least 4 days of trading records, which do not need to be consecutive. It does not mean that the goal must be achieved within 4 days.
-
- Target Profit: $10,000 (10%)
The ratio is the same as the total loss. Calculating 10% from the initial capital is the target profit, which must be achieved within the challenge period.
Demo account Stage 2 | Verification
In Phase Two, only the profit target and challenge period have changed; all other rules remain the same.
-
- Challenge Period:
60 daysUnlimited
- Challenge Period:
Starting from 2023/7/13, the exam has no time limit, changing to an unlimited challenge period.
-
- Target Profit: $5,000 (5%)
Calculating 5% from the initial capital is the target profit, which must be achieved within the challenge period.
Funded Account
After passing the two phases with the simulated account, you will receive a real account (funded account). The initial capital will be the same as the capital chosen at the beginning.
Once the funded account starts, there is no target profit and no challenge period pressure. As long as the previous rules are not violated, it will always remain a real account and will not revert to a demo account.
And the profit split ratio for the funded account is 80%, which means that from this moment on, 80% is the minimum profit split ratio.
If profitable, upon the first withdrawal, you will receive: 80% of the real account's profit + a full refund of the registration fee.
Scaling Plan
資助帳戶是沒有挑戰期間和獲利目標的，不過如果在資助帳戶中至少 4 個月內獲利 10%，且出金 2 次，就會得到更好的條件。
- Account funding limit: +25%
從最開始的帳戶額度+25%，Normal 模式最高可以加到 $200 萬美元 (2000K)。
- Profit split ratio: 90%
Once the expansion plan conditions are successfully met, the profit split increases from 80% to 90%, and the 90% profit split condition will apply thereafter.
FTMO - Normal Basic Rules and Challenge Fee

FTMO Trading Condition

- Leverage:
-
- The default leverage ratio is 1:100. However, in Normal mode, there are two leverage options, and the conditions associated with each leverage are different.
-
The default mode leverage is 1:100, with conditions including no trading during data releases, no trading on holidays, and no overnight positions. The Swing mode leverage is 1:30, with conditions allowing trading before and after data releases, trading on holidays, and overnight positions.
-
It is important to note that during the two stages of the exam after paying the registration fee, regardless of the type chosen (Default or Swing), overnight positions, weekend trading, and trading before and after data releases are all allowed! These three conditions only come into effect once the exam is passed.
值得一提，不管一開始選擇其中哪一種，之後要更改到另一種模式是可以的，在後台需要調整的帳戶 “Modify” 做調整，提供交易者更多靈活性。

FTMO Prop Firm Reviews
I discovered this company one day while researching similar models, which indicates that there are other companies out there. However, I chose this one because, after evaluating various aspects, it seemed more reliable, offered higher profit-sharing incentives, had reasonable rules, and so on. Here are a few reasons why I chose FTMO.
- Offers Free Trial ( 14 days free trial )
FTMO offers 14-day demo trading sessions, allowing you to choose the amount of capital you want to practice your trading strategies with. The platform provides charts and data to track performance. Although the demo trading is purely for practice, there are still profit targets and daily/overall risk control metrics available to monitor your status. If you meet all the targets and pass the demo phase, you can then take the paid challenge. Once you pass, you will receive the company's funds.
- Instant Customer Service
If you encounter any issues, in addition to using FTMO's email, you can also go directly to their official website or log into your own dashboard to find live customer support. You can inquire even on weekends if you encounter problems. I find it very useful. However, since you need to communicate with them in English, you can use Google Translate to communicate with them without any problems.
- Platform Diversification
FTMO provides various platforms for use, including MT4, MT5, and Ctrader, among others. They also have their own app that allows you to monitor your account data in real-time. Personally, I'm accustomed to using the MT5 platform for trading, while most other companies only offer MT4.
- Full Refund of Registration Fee
The registration fee is a one-time payment. As long as you pass the subsequent evaluations, you will receive a full refund of the registration fee along with your first profit split.
- Dedicated Account Manager
Having your own dedicated manager is quite important. Sometimes when you encounter problems and can't reach customer service, the most direct solution is to contact your dedicated manager. This can also help avoid privacy issues.
- Community Management
This type of prop firm is mostly international, with traders distributed across the world. It takes dedicated effort to bring all traders together. For instance, their team regularly interviews successful retail traders about their trading methods in the FTMO Trader Interview series. These traders generously share their trading operations and thought processes, which greatly benefits the entire community.
Many prop firms have similar interview-style videos with traders, but when comparing various aspects such as the host's questions, the trader's preparation, whether the trader's screen synchronizes with the trading strategy being explained, and the video's post-production, FTMO indeed puts in much more effort.
- Committed to Protecting Client Interests
Following the My Forex Funds incident, FTMO issued their first statement. The main point was that FTMO's services were not affected by the incident. They regularly communicate with various regulatory bodies and establish a good compliance environment to protect their clients. Also, to mitigate the risk of non-cooperation from some dispersed payout providers, they actively collaborate with various payment platforms.
The original text is as follows:
Update Regarding Recent Developments and Our Commitment to Your Trading Experience.
We are aware of the situation with My Forex Funds. However, as we have no further information on the matter, other than what was published, we are unable to comment on the situation. In light of this matter, we would like to assure you our services remain unaffected and you are welcome to continue trading with us as usual.
As we operate globally, we are regularly communicating with various regulators regarding their inquiries in connection with the provision of our services. We have never been subject to any freezing orders from regulators. As you may have noticed, we are working hard to build strong compliance environment to protect our clients. Currently, most of our assets are held with reputable financial institutions within European Union and in order to manage any related risks, we use various payment providers.
- Information Transparency
In My Forex Funds event After the incident, FTMO put the slogan at the bottom of the website: "All accounts used are demo accounts with virtual funds, and any transactions are only carried out in a simulated environment." It is also because after MFF was accused before, all platforms have been more careful about whether the information passed to customers is transparent., Even if you didn't intend to deceive customers, you can avoid being accused of false charges.
- Acquisition of local traditional prop firm Quantlane
In early 2023, FTMO initiated the acquisition process of Quantlane, and completed the acquisition in mid-November. Quantlane, founded in 2014, is a traditional prop trading firm composed of traders, mathematicians, and developers. They conduct market trading entirely using company funds and have no market clients.
Unlike Quantlane, the majority of clients of the new-style prop firm FTMO are retail traders. Therefore, to help traders become more successful and professional, FTMO acquired Quantlane. This acquisition is incorporated into the final stage of the FTMO Advanced Plan, paving the way for FTMO traders to become professional institutional traders.
This also demonstrates that FTMO takes its business seriously, and shows consistency between its commitments to clients and its own vision.
Who is Suitable for FTMO?
If you have been practicing trading for a while and have achieved good results, developing your skills but lacking capital, you can pay to register for FTMO's trader evaluation. If you pass the evaluation, they will provide you with an account. They supply the capital and bear the risks, while you get to share in the profits.
FTMO can be considered the industry leader. When conducting a comprehensive evaluation including reputation, rule fairness, community management excellence, and trader presence across the globe, FTMO is the first choice.
If you are one of the following types of people, you can consider using this model.
- 不是 FTMO 不提供地區的客戶
- Skilled but lacking capital
- Want to train different mindsets with higher capital
- Don't want to risk losing your own capital
- Want to establish your own trading discipline
- People who don't do a good job of risk management (because FTMO's risk control is very strict)
How to Start an FTMO Account?
First, use the 14-day demo account they provide for practice. The biggest difference between this and a broker's demo account is that during the demo practice period, FTMO provides you with statistical data for your account, such as average risk-reward ratio (RRR), win rate, etc. These are automatically calculated by their system, and you can see them as soon as you log into the backend. These statistics can help you clearly understand your own issues, which I personally find quite useful.
It is recommended to practice using their demo account first. It won't be too late to sign up once you're sure you can make a profit.
Understand FTMO Exam Rules, The rules, risks, profit targets, periods, etc. of different models and stages, after all, if you want to trade with other people's money, you need to comply with their regulations.
It's also recommended to practice with the demo account using their rules. Once you're familiar with them, pay to sign up. Risk management will then naturally become a reflexive action.
Choose the desired account type, account capital amount, and after understanding the rules of step 2, select what's suitable for you. It's recommended to choose an account with the same principal amount as your demo account, as this will be more similar in terms of psychological acceptance.
Register for a free FTMO account and start operating in the demo stage. All the various details have been explained earlier, so you might want to save this article for future reference if needed.
After signing up, you will have a dedicated account manager. You can contact them directly with any questions, though it will all be in English. You can use Google Translate during the communication process if needed.
When you finish practicing with the demo account, if you feel you need more practice, you can apply for another demo account. There's no limit to how many times you can do this. If you feel ready for the exam, you can choose to pay and sign up for an account with the same specifications as your demo account.
Maintaining trading regulations and consistency, and trading without violating the rules, is a good initial goal. Of course, you can also set getting your registration fee refunded as a target. After successfully passing the exam, you can then trade with the company's funds at zero cost.
The steps above are for reference only. If you intend to directly pay and sign up for FTMO, you can read the basic rules and challenge fee.
Whether you're opening a demo account or paying to sign up for FTMO, you first need to create a unified FTMO account. You can link your Google, FB, or Apple account to create it. Once you're in the account backend, you'll need to choose between the Free Trial for a demo account or the FTMO Challenge for paid registration of different account specifications.

FAQs About Prop Firms
Forex prop firms primarily offer contracts for difference (CFDs) as their main trading product and provide substantial capital for retail traders to take on trading challenges. A similar model, but with different products, exists for futures prop firms. For more information, please refer to the Prop Firms Overview.
These types of prop firms target the retail trader market, allowing the general public to access this trading model.
Prop firms establish a set of rules and guidelines and seek out aspiring traders, first providing a simulated account for evaluation. Once traders pass the evaluation, they can withdraw profits based on a profit-sharing ratio. This model has been successfully implemented abroad for many years.
- Capital Control
- Broker: Full Control
- Prop Firm: Partial Control
- Number of Firms
- Broker: 10,000+ (licensed brokers preferred)
- Prop Firm: 100+
- Investor Capital Preparation
- Broker: Own capital
- Prop Firm: Company capital (accounts of varying sizes)
- Risk and Loss
- Broker: Bears its own risk
- Prop Firm: Company bears risk (with drawdown rules)
- Profit
- Broker: Retains all profits
- Prop Firm: Retains a portion of profits (based on profit-sharing ratio)
- Leverage
- Broker: Varies by broker, approximately 30 - 40x in Taiwan; overseas ranges from 100 - 1,000x
- Prop Firm: As defined by the firm's rules
- Trading Instruments
- Broker: Covers almost all instruments, depending on the broker's offerings
- Prop Firm: Limited (though brokers-launched prop brands may have broader offerings)
- Maximum Loss for Investor
- Broker: Margin call (loss of all capital; risk of fraud with unregulated brokers)
- Prop Firm: Loss of registration/challenge fees
- Target Audience
- Broker: Those who want full control over their own capital and don't want to be restricted by rules
- Prop Firm: Those with trading skills but lack capital, or who want to practice with higher capital
If you open an account with a broker, you are depositing your own principal. All risks are borne by the investors. In addition, you also need to prevent fraudulent brokers from allowing withdrawals, black-hearted spreads, fake brokers, fake customer service and other issues. You really need to do your own homework.
The prop trading model involves participating in a prop firm's challenge and evaluation process. Traders can choose accounts with different capital sizes, but they must follow the specific rules set by each prop firm. These rules can be restrictive, and if violated, the prop firm has the right to revoke the trader's account. As a result, traders have less freedom in managing the capital.
To identify the source of liquidity, I specifically distinguish between the two.
Pure prop firms usually refer to those not operated by brokers, and their liquidity sources may require cooperation with brokers for support.
On the other hand, broker prop trading brands refer to traditional CFD brokers that have launched retail prop trading services, with liquidity sourced from their own brokerage offerings.

Forex currency pairs are the main trading products, though some prop firms also offer other products like indices, precious metals, and non-currency pairs.
In addition, a few firms offer prop services for futures, allowing futures traders to trade futures products.
The trading products offered by each prop firm vary greatly, so it's important to refer to the specific details provided by each firm.
No, but there will be many self-employed merchants who are mixed with fish and fish, so the research on self-employed merchants is very important.
I also trade forex CFD, so I'm aware that there are many scams in the brokerage industry. I previously compiled an article on how to avoid broker scams. However, after learning about the prop firm model, I found that their operating model is different, requiring even more research. For instance, it’s essential to understand the brokers they work with, their rules, user reviews, and overall experience—this is a field that really requires doing your homework.
As for whether they are scams, I spent a lot of time collecting and organizing information on these prop firms. Based on my own and friends' experiences, I can say that they are not scams.
At present, the self-employed business I use by myself has this one, but my friends around me have been using other homes for a while, and they have not encountered any problems in dividing profits and withdrawing funds. In the future, I will organize an article on this issue if I have the opportunity. Article.
Most people who get into forex margin trading primarily use brokers, but this prop firm model is quite popular abroad. Many successful traders started with this model, using its rules to help develop trading discipline. After trading for a while and earning profits through profit-sharing, they then open an account with a broker to trade with their own capital.
There are about hundreds of prop firms worldwide, each with its own evaluation rules, profit-sharing ratios, risk management standards, and other features like supported trading platforms, retake rules, and registration fees. There are too many details to cover, but you can check out the "Overview of Prop Firms".
The registration fees for each prop firm vary depending on the account size. For instance, FTMO's lowest fee for a Normal account is €155, with an account size of $10,000.

Risk Warning:
Forex and Contract for Difference (CFD) margin trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for everyone. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade forex and CFDs, you should carefully consider your trading objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You may sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment. You should be aware of all the risks associated with forex and CFD trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
Please note that before deciding to purchase any retail proprietary trading firm challenge, you should carefully consider the company's challenge trading objectives, drawdown risks, and various rules. You may lose part or all of your initial funds used to purchase the challenge account.
Some prop firms provide all accounts with virtual funds, meaning all trades are conducted in a simulated environment. For details, please refer to the announcements on each prop firm’s official website.

請問可以[跟單交易]嗎?
例如我認識的朋友已經考過，他下單，我就跟著下單，這樣會違規嗎?
違規會被終止帳戶?
可以跟單但僅限於自己的帳號，禁止跟單別人的帳號。
您好，我有两个问题想请教一下
1.Ftmo第一关和第二关通过之后，需要多久时间审核？
2.挑战通过获得真实户口，假设我在早上进一单持仓到晚上23：00Pm 平仓， 可是在中间时段20：30有新闻公布，那单子会不会算违规？还是必须在新闻还没发布之前选择平仓？
1.通過後系統會自己判定，1-2工作天會收到通知，遇假日順延
2.看選擇的帳戶模式，swing type可以新聞交易
請問加密貨幣付款的選項在哪裡？沒看到
可以參考Official description
想請問 擴展計畫可以到200萬 是單隻帳號200萬嗎？ 他一開始規定 單一策略上限金額40萬 所以如果我一開始買2隻20k 最高可以變400萬？ 是這個意思嗎 謝謝
透過擴展計畫，帳戶最高資金總額就到$200萬美元
請問小生，FTMO允許高頻交易嗎？

Hello, Forex Niche, I would like to ask you a few questions about FTMO that you don't understand. Thank you!
1.
通關FTMO考試過後
每月的交易規則一樣是
最大日損失 5%
最大總損失10%
目標獲利10%
2.
通關FTMO考試後
真實交易 不如預期績效 資金會被收回嗎!
通關就沒有獲利目標，只有損失回撤規則；只要不違規就可以繼續操作帳戶。
提个建议，这种自营交易的公司模式确实很新颖，不过有一种比这种模式更好的外汇交易公司模式，就是“跟单”模式。有一些交易平台商，你可以将自己的经纪商账号绑定到它上面，自动展示自己的交易盈亏，如果业绩好，就有其它用户跟单，如果你盈利了，你可以赚取跟单用利润的20%。这种模式我感觉要好于这种自营交易模式，因为第一它不需要用户出报名费（用的是你本来就用的自己的交易账户），第二它切实可以靠自己交易水平赚钱。相比自营交易这种竞赛模式，更容易成功。站长可否搜集介绍下这种“跟单”模式的交易商资源呢？
好的，未來會安排更多資源。
跟單模式在 crypto很成熟了，不如OKX Gate.io Bitget都有很豐富的選擇。Forex Prop Firm方面，ACY和Vantage這類broker也有跟單模式
小生你好
請問今年最新FTMO規則有變動嗎?
想詢問假設在階段一期間 最快多少時間可以通過交易進行階段二
然後階段二時候最快多久時間能拿到真實帳戶?
因為我在YT上有看到人說第一階段至少需要交易30天 第二階段需要60天
這樣以來不就要三個月才能拿到真實帳戶?
滿足最短交易日4天，通常1-3工作日可以拿到（不超過6個工作日）取決於kyc、合約等流程。30日挑戰限制已經取消了。
你好，我想請教幾個問題
1.如果我考試通過20美帳戶之後，設定2個禮拜週期。獲利假設3萬，我出金金額是打要自己扣掉20%的金額2.4萬，還是選擇全部3萬？
2.出金的選擇用電匯會比較適合還是加密貨幣usdt？
3.國內課稅的話，FTMO 出金會計算在內嗎？

Hello, Xiao Sheng, I would like to ask about the FTMO Expansion plan's "Achieve 10% for four consecutive months and withdraw funds twice". Does this narrative mean that you can only withdraw funds twice in four months? Or do you withdraw money at least twice in four months?
Thank you
Hello Nicholas, at least twice
Hello, Xiao Sheng, I want to consult what coupon provider FTMO uses? Will the spread be high?
The official says that it uses its own liquidity provider (Tier1), and the spreads are generally not bad, but there are also handling fees to pay attention to.
Hi, foreign exchange student, it's a great commentary to share. I have a few questions I want to ask.
1. For example, if you get a real account transaction for an account of 10,000 U.S. dollars after customs clearance, if you violate the daily loss of 5% or the maximum loss of 10%, will you be removed from the real account? In this case, is it possible that every time the real account violates the rules, you have to pay 155 euros again to challenge it again? Can the exam fee be transferred to their bank account by bank transfer?
2. I am quite curious about FTMO's operating model. The challenger only needs to pay a minimum of 155 euros in registration fee. After completing the challenge, FTMO will give 10,000 U.S. dollars to fund the transaction. Then the challenger will get 10,000 U.S. dollars in the first transaction after the real account is 10,000 U.S. dollars. If the first transaction is all-in at 10,000 U.S. dollars, the position will explode. Then FTMO is not at a loss.business?
3. Assuming that you initially complete the挑战10,000 challenge and get a real account, and then you want to increase the amount of funds, I have read your message saying that you need to pay the exam fee again and challenge another fund account. If you get the exam, you can merge with the original帐户10,000 account. ,Do you mean that? Thank you!
1. Yes, after customs clearance, it means that it is eligible to trade a real account, and it will be disqualified if it violates the law. Bank remittance is possible, but it takes about 3 to 5 days.
2. So in fact, they are not giving real funds, traders just get real "account numbers".
3. Yes, increase funds by consolidating accounts.
感謝回覆，再請教您關於每天最大損失5%總額最大損失10%！
比如10萬帳戶當天最大損失5%=5000，總額最大損失10000。
假設帳戶獲利到了12萬(未出金)，那麼FTMO的當日最大損失5%/總額最大損失10%是以原本帳戶初始金10萬計算還是以12萬來計算？
它變成12萬的當日最大損失5%/總額最大損失10%？
謝謝😊
你好，損失回撤限制是基於初始資金，也就是10萬，而非12萬
小生您好，關於第二點提到的我們考試過後所拿到的是真實帳戶，但提供的不是真實資金。
那麼我們操作獲利的話，不就代表公司並沒實際從市場賺到錢嗎？怎麼理解起來有點像模擬倉的概念。
因為有前車之鑑所以現在很多公司都必須明說是虛擬資金，而不管是虛擬資金、模擬資金都是有綁考試機制，和券商模擬倉不同。
通關後的帳戶可以理解為分潤帳戶，而非真實資金帳戶，公司收報名費用為主要獲利方式。
Hello, Xiao Sheng, thank you very much for your article. I would like to ask about the customs clearance part. Originally, there was a deadline of 30/60 days. It should be to evaluate whether the conditions have been met to determine whether the customs clearance is successful. Now it has been changed to no deadline. If the first level, whether the number of trading days is more than 4 days, the profit exceeds 10%,And there is no violation (the daily loss is less than 5%), will the customs clearance be successful as soon as the conditions are met?
For example, in daily trading, the daily loss is less than 4%, and the profit of 12% is reached at the end of the fourth day. Does this directly pass the customs on the fifth day?
Thank you
Yes, without violating the loss rules, if you achieve the profit goal and complete the minimum number of trading days, you will clear the customs. The cancellation of the challenge period is to give traders more time to challenge. If they can clear the customs in the fastest time, they don't need to care about whether there is a challenge period or not.
Thank you very much for Xiaosheng's reply.
On 9/1, MFF stopped operating without warning, and I was dumbfounded because I just went to apply for the 100,000 warehouse on 8/20. Would it be possible for Xiaosheng FTMO to encounter the same situation? Because I also want to go to FTMO, but I am a little worried. I want to hear Xiaosheng's opinion, thank you
I believe many people are very surprised. The three-party liquidity providers that MFF is mainly accused of using are lies. If you pay attention to the development of this matter, you can refer toThis commentary。
At this stage, if you want to open another company, it is recommended to avoid self-employed companies registered in the United States and Canada, and to choose a compliant tripartite liquidity provider. Although FTMO is a European company and uses its own liquidity provider, it is uncertain whether there will be any new actions by regulatory agencies in various countries. If you are more active, you can first open a small capital account and try it. Be conservative.You can wait and see until there is clearer news on this matter before taking the next step.
Hello, I want to know if the maximum losses of 5% and 10% stipulated by it are dynamic or fixed? For example, in my account of 100,000 US dollars, I made a profit of 6,000 US dollars on the same day. Is the maximum loss on the next day calculated at 5% of 106,000 US dollars, or is it fixed at 5% of 100,000 US dollars? If the account grows to US1110,000 in the future, the maximum loss is 10%. Is it calculated based on the initial US1100,000 or the current US美元110,000? Hope to answer, thank you
FTMO is fixed at 5% and 10%, not necessarily for other platforms.
Is there a plug-in available for MT4/5, such as FX Blue Labs' auxiliary EA? I have applied for a DEMO but I don't see relevant resources in the BACKGROUND, so every time I place an ORDER, I have to manually calculate the position and so on.
In addition, the auxiliary EA must be downloaded from the tripartite platform by itself, and FTMO only provides a manual calculator in the background.
I would like to ask that I have already taken the exam on the first day and I was scared that the spread came to 147 GBPUSD. I used XM to trade by myself. The spread is only 9....
I asked the customer service that this is a floating spread. Would you like to ask if there are other platforms that are fixed spreads and similar to obtaining trading funds?
In addition to the design of the spread itself, the reasons that affect the spread will also vary due to market liquidity or non-trading hot periods. Try to avoid unpopular periods of trading. The rest of the time I use it is quite normal, not to exaggerate. For other companies, please refer toSelf-employed company。
Hello, after I got the real account, I saw that there is an end day. Does it mean that the account will be reset every month? Will I be disqualified if my account is at a loss at the end of the month?
Yes, it will be reset to the size of the funds in the account purchased at the time every month. If the account is at a loss, as long as it does not violate the minimum loss rule (DD&MDD), the account can be maintained without disqualification.
小生您好，延續end day的問題想請問，所謂的每月重置的意思是:
若購買250K的帳號，在月底帳面損益大於250K，直接強制出金，然後下個月開始繼續從帳面250K開始嗎，那如果到月底交易金額低於250K，但沒有違規，重置後會幫我還原帳面價值成250K嗎還是虧損的金額會繼續累積下去?
賺錢：選擇「提領」，帳戶才會重置回初始金額；但如果你選擇「轉存」（Rollover），你就可以用目前增加後的金額繼續交易
虧損：虧損會繼續累積下去，不會自動重置回250K，只要你沒違規（像是碰到最大虧損限制），就可以繼續交易
小生你好，想請問end day重置帳號是獲利時月底會強制出金然後下個月繼續最一開始的資金規模嗎，例如250k資金月底為260K，會強制出金10K，下個月一樣重250K開始，那如果是虧損的但並未違規，這樣也是恢復原始資金規模嗎，例如250k資金月底未違規但只剩240K，下個月會重置回250k嗎?
已回覆在前一則留言
Sorry, I would like to ask the junior student, if you pass the 10,000 U.S. dollars exam at the beginning and get the fund account, can you continue to take the higher fund account, or will there be a restriction that one person can only have an account?
Hello, under a registered account, the maximum total capital Normal is 400,000; Aggressive is 200,000. However, only one fund can be tested at a time, so after clearing customs and getting a real position, you can test other funds to merge.
Hello, Xiao Sheng, I would like to confirm. According to the above situation, assuming that I already have a 5W real account, can't I take the 5W warehouse test again? I want to merge into 100,000 positions. .
Yes, there is only the maximum combined fund limit.
Hello，
I haven't been able to figure out the meaning of the existence of the Aggressive model. What is the meaning?
For example, if I intend to choose a 100K aggressive account, wouldn't I just skip the first level and choose a 200K normal account? Because not only are all the conditions the same, but even the registration fee is the same. Or did I miss something?
Hello, the registration fees and rules for accounts with the same fund size as Normal and Aggressive are different.
For the same example, the registration fee for 100k in Normal is 540 euros/in Aggressive is 1080 euros, which is 1 times the difference; in addition, the maximum daily loss and maximum loss standards are also different, and the standard of Aggressive is a bit looser than Normal. Customs clearance is easier, so the registration fee is relatively more expensive. Before you sign up, you must first figure out the rules of the different modes~
sorry! Maybe I didn't express it well and let you misunderstand my question.，
I understand that the two modes of the same level account are completely different，
And my question is mainly about the comparison between the two levels of accounts…
Or I said hello~ if today I have decided in advance that I want to spend 1,080 euros to sign up for an account, then what is the incentive for me not to choose a 200K normal account and choose a 100k aggressive account instead?
The incentive for aggressive is that risk control is looser. For the same example, some people may feel that the risk control of Normal day 5%/total 10% is too strict, and they will consider the risk that they may violate the rules and lose the opportunity to obtain a real position, and they will retreat and choose Aggressive day 10%/total 20% risk control, although the registration feeThe same, but the size of the funds is smaller than Normal, but the chance of passing the exam to obtain a real position is greater.
Yes, the reason why members choose various accounts of different levels and modes is that the focus is on "risk control", so whether it is 5%/10% of 200K normal or 10%/20% of 10K aggressive, the amount of risk control converted by them is 10000/20000 vs 10000/20000., Even after the expansion plan reaches the final ultimate account (2 million and 1 million), the converted risk control amount is still the same as 100,000/200,000 vs 100,000/200,000.
That's why I want to say that since it's all the same, why don't I just buy a 200K normal account? Maybe it has the advantage of having more orders!
If it is about the amount of risk control, the two converted amounts are indeed the same, but if the trading plan is taken into account, the number of risk% will be required to push back the number of control lots. If 5% of the day and 10% of the day are in the same trading plan, the size of the lots that can be placed by the two pushback must be different.
In addition, if it is aggressive, there is no Swing mode to choose from. This is inherently restricted (choose an account at the beginning). If compared with Normal with Swing, the leverage is relatively high (1:100), the advance payment is small, and the maximum number of lots that can be accommodated is also large.
Leverage(1:100)；(1:30) This seems to be used in foreign exchange, but futures don't seem to have this kind of thing?
The two types of leverage of 100 times/30 times are mainly based on foreign exchange currency pairs, while different commodities such as PRECIOUS metals or futures and other CFD commodities will have different leverage ratios. Overall, the preset leverage will be higher than swing's. For detailed leverage ratios, please refer toOfficial product detailsTo view, you can select the product you want to view in the ”Symbol Specifications & Trading Hours” field. ”Leverage NORMAL” in the product ”Information” represents the default mode/ ”LEVERAGE SWING" is the swing mode.
What is the best way to withdraw money? Thank you!
Withdrawals can be made by bank wire transfer, skrill e-wallet, or cryptocurrency. It should be noted that the minimum withdrawal amount is at least US220 (the profit after the profit is divided). If the withdrawal is cryptocurrency, the minimum withdrawal limit is US550, and the minimumThe withdrawal amount is charged based on the handling fee of the platform used for the withdrawal, and FTMO will not charge any fees for withdrawing funds.
For details, you can also refer toOfficial description。
If I pass the exam, do I have to abide by the 5% daily floating loss after I get the real account?
Yes, if you get a real account, the two rules of maximum loss and total loss on the day cannot be violated, but there is no profit target.
Why can't I register in mainland China?
Which step is it?
Will the account be directly withdrawn as long as the position or overnight transaction is retained after the official account is obtained?
If you don't choose swing, you can't keep a position (swing can keep a position). If you keep a position, you will be disqualified as a trader even if you violate the rules, and you will have to retake the exam.
Hello, is the time to stay in the warehouse Grandstand Bay time? Or can the operation transaction not exceed 24 hours?
Whether a transaction can stay overnight depends on the selected account mode. If it is the default FTMO, it cannot be; Swing is ok. I have to compare the differences between the two modes. You can refer to the article on supplementary rules. In ADDITION, the time you mentioned is always based on [CE(S)T] Central European summer time (FTMO is based on European TIME), AND if you want to view or convert to Taipei TIME, you must refer to the same article!
article:【Important! 】FTMO exam rules and supplementary instructions for various details!
Hello, Forex Niche, I would like to ask you a few questions about FTMO that you don't understand. Thank you!
1. Take Type 44 as an example. The maximum loss is 10%, 10,000 US dollars. Suppose you lose 500 US dollars on the first day, and the daily loss will return to 5,000 US dollars tomorrow. You can trade. The maximum total loss is deducted by 500 US dollars, and the remaining 9,500 US dollars, right?
After the loss on the first day, trading for 9 consecutive days was profitable, and the maximum total loss was still 9,500 U.S. dollars. Won't it change back to 10,000 U.S. dollars?
How can the maximum total loss change back to the original 10,000 U.S. dollars?
2. Issues of warehouse retention and data release
Mentioned above, it says
Swing mode leverage is 1:30, you can trade before and after the data is released, on holidays, and stay overnight.
It is mentioned below that only the two types of mock exams are allowed to skip the three attached conditions, but after the exam, the above three conditions cannot be touched if they are officially enabled? ？
How long will it be impossible to trade before and after the data is released?
If there are already band orders before the data is released, the cost is far away, will swing 1/30 have to close the position before the data is released? Can you still keep the warehouse?
3. The issue of profit sharing and refund of examination fees
After the exam, but there is no profit yet, the registration fee needs to be refunded together for the first withdrawal, or can it be refunded separately?
How much profit can I make before I can withdraw the money?
How long will the withdrawal be received?
4. Unlimited free retake
As long as you don't violate the law, you can retake the exam indefinitely.，
Demo account Stage one Challenge
There are no violations within 30 days but the goal is not reached. Can I retake the exam for free for the same account? ？
As above, there are no violations. Isn't it possible to retake the exam indefinitely?
Why can Challenge only retake the exam once for free? You also mark the yellow line in particular
I really trouble you if you want to know.
Excuse me, thank you! ！
1.
Are you talking about a type 1 10,000 account? And are you talking about a Normal type of account? The calculation of the loss or maximum loss on the day is measured in terms of net value. If the profit on the day is US4400 (the position has been closed), then the amount that can be lost on the day will be US9900 (5% loss space of 400+10,000), and the total loss can be borne (US11,400).
2.
(1) Yes, overnight, weekend and data transactions are allowed during the examination stage (regardless of whether swing is selected or not), but if swing is not selected but overnight, weekend and data transactions are not selected after the examination, it would be a violation of regulations, which means that the official is more flexible during the examination stage. Once the examination has passed, the official will be more flexible.That is to follow the rules.
(2) No transactions can be made 2 minutes before and after the data is announced!
(3) If it is swing mode, you can trade overnight, weekend, and data. If you say that the band order should have been left overnight, then it is no problem, and you can continue to hold it after the data is released.
3.
(1) The registration fee is refunded together with the first withdrawal.
(2) It is stipulated that a minimum of US220 can be withdrawn (the profit after the profit is divided). If the withdrawal is cryptocurrency, the minimum withdrawal limit is US550.
(3) Generally speaking, it takes 3 working days, but according to the selected withdrawal method, it can be as slow as 2 weeks in just a few minutes.
4.
Whether it is in the Normal or Aggressive account type, and whether it is in the first stage of Challenge or the second stage of Verification, as long as it does not violate the rules, you can retake the exam for free unlimited times!
The article is incorrect information, sorry for misleading you, it has been corrected!
Thank you for your question. It is true that some details are not mentioned in the article. The article information will be updated again!
您好，請問現在還有免費重考嗎？關於這部分我有點不太理解😅😅
