Overview

FTMO sells three routes to a simulated FTMO Account for forex and CFD trading: a 2-Step Challenge, a 1-Step Challenge and an Instant Account with no evaluation.[2][9]

Each is a one-time fee listed in euros, from €79 to €2,999 depending on the program and account size, and only the 2-Step fee is refunded, with the first Reward.[1][7][8]

All accounts are simulated; FTMO pays Rewards of 80% or 90% of simulated profit, depending on the program.[9][10]

FTMO publishes a list of restricted countries; US residents are served through FTMO US, a separate service run with OANDA that this review does not cover.[13][16]

This profile collects what we have recorded about FTMO from its official pages: the key facts, a dated log of rule changes and checks, and links to our full review. Values we have not verified are marked "Not yet confirmed".
