FTMO is one of the more established names in the CFD prop-firm space, with the crawl data showing a Jan 2015 creation date, Czech Republic country marker, and more than 10 years in operation. The current normalized profile presents FTMO as a CFD prop firm using a simulated funded trading evaluation model, with support for MT4, MT5, cTrader, and DXTrade.
From the visible data, FTMO offers EUR-denominated challenge options across 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K, and 200K account sizes, with both one-step and two-step structures shown. The asset coverage in the dataset includes FX, indices, metals, energy, crypto, and stocks.
The rating picture is also strong in the available crawl data, but it should be treated as a signal rather than a guarantee. FTMO is shown with a 4.6 market-reference rating from 200 reviews and a 4.8 Trustpilot rating, although the Trustpilot review count is not included in this JSON.
Who FTMO is actually for
FTMO is most relevant for traders comparing CFD prop challenges across common retail trading platforms. The data lists MT4, MT5, cTrader, and DXTrade, which makes it a practical option to evaluate if platform choice is a major part of your decision.
It may also suit traders who want to compare both one-step and two-step evaluation paths. The visible challenge data includes a Standard 1-Step structure, a Standard 2-Steps structure, and a Swing 2-Steps structure. That gives traders several ways to compare the trade-off between target difficulty, loss limits, price, and account style.
The dataset is especially useful for traders focused on EUR-denominated challenge costs. Visible pricing ranges from EUR79 on smaller 10K options up to EUR1080 on the 200K Standard 2-Steps challenge, with the Standard 1-Step 200K challenge shown at EUR999.
FTMO should be reviewed more carefully if your main decision factor is country eligibility, support quality, or verified payout proof records. The JSON includes a long restricted-country and restricted-region list, while individual payout records and review bodies are intentionally not stored. That means traders should not rely on this draft alone for final eligibility or payout-proof decisions.
The rule set, in plain English
The visible FTMO challenge data separates the main rule set into one-step and two-step structures.
For the Standard 1-Step challenge, the visible rule row shows a 10% profit target, 3% daily loss, and 6% max loss. The same one-step rows show an 80% profit split and on-demand payout frequency across the visible account sizes.
For the Standard 2-Steps structure, the visible challenge rows show a 10% / 5% profit target sequence, 5% daily loss, and 10% max loss. The visible two-step rows also show an 80% profit split and on-demand payout frequency.
The Swing 2-Steps rows use the same visible high-level targets and loss limits as the Standard 2-Steps rows in this dataset: 10% / 5% profit target, 5% daily loss, and 10% max loss. The important difference in the deeper rules is the holding-permission treatment after becoming an FTMO Account trader. During the evaluation process, overnight and weekend holding are listed as allowed for both Standard and Swing account types. After becoming an FTMO Account trader, Standard accounts must close positions shortly before markets close for the weekend, while Swing accounts are listed as not having overnight or weekend holding restrictions.
The leverage data is asset-specific. FX is shown at 1:100, indices at 1:50, metals and energy at 1:30, and crypto and stocks at 1:3. Commission data is also split by asset: FX is listed at $5 per lot, metals at 0.0014%/Volume, crypto at 0.0650%/Volume, stocks at 0.0040%/Volume, and both indices and energy are shown as $0 commission.
Some rule areas are not populated in the JSON. News trading, EA or bot use, copy trading, scalping, hedging, VPN use, and HFT are not confirmed in the top-level trading-permissions object, so those should be checked directly before making a trading-style decision.
The payout cycle, in visible data
The visible payout policy shows an 80% default profit split and on-demand payout frequency. The payout methods listed in the data are Bank Transfer, Crypto, Mastercard, Skrill, and Visa Direct.
That is a useful payout-method signal, but it is not the same as verified payout performance. The dataset does not include individual payout proof records, total payout amounts, latest payout dates, or a live payout tracker. The crawl policy explicitly excludes individual competitor or reference payout proofs, so this review should not claim a verified payout history from the JSON alone.
On reliability signals, FTMO has several visible positives in the data. It is marked active, has a Jan 2015 creation date, is shown with 10+ years in operation, and carries a 4.6 market-reference rating from 200 reviews. The Trustpilot rating is listed as 4.8, but the Trustpilot review count is missing, so it should be mentioned carefully and not overstated.
The review distribution from the market-reference data is mostly positive: 139 five-star ratings, 52 four-star ratings, 2 three-star ratings, 0 two-star ratings, and 7 one-star ratings. Because individual review bodies are not included, this draft cannot summarize specific user complaints or praise themes beyond the rating distribution itself.
Pricing and offer context
FTMO’s visible pricing is structured around EUR one-time challenge fees. The crawl data includes 14 visible challenge rows across Standard 1-Step, Standard 2-Steps, and Swing 2-Steps options.
For Standard 1-Step accounts, visible prices are EUR79 for 10K, EUR199 for 25K, EUR319 for 50K, EUR499 for 100K, and EUR999 for 200K.
For Standard 2-Steps accounts, visible prices are EUR89 for 10K, EUR250 for 25K, EUR345 for 50K, EUR540 for 100K, and EUR1080 for 200K. The 100K Standard 2-Steps row is also shown with a discounted price of EUR439 in the challenge data.
For Swing 2-Steps accounts, visible prices are EUR89 for 10K, EUR250 for 25K, EUR345 for 50K, and EUR540 for 100K. No 200K Swing row is visible in the provided challenge data.
There is one active offer in the JSON: EUR101 off on the 100K 2-Step Standard Account. The terms state that it applies only to users who do not have an active 100K challenge. The coupon code itself is not stored, and the official or affiliate checkout URL is not populated, so offer availability should be rechecked before publication or purchase.
One data inconsistency is worth noting carefully: the challenge row shows the 100K Standard 2-Steps discounted price as EUR439 from a EUR540 regular price, while a calculated field elsewhere references EUR398 from the same EUR101 discount. Because the main pricing row and challenge row both show EUR439, this draft should avoid making a separate EUR398 claim without human review.

Pros and cons
What this data supports
- FTMO has visible operating-history signals, including a Jan 2015 creation date and more than 10 years in operation.
- The data shows broad platform support: MT4, MT5, cTrader, and DXTrade.
- The visible asset list covers FX, indices, metals, energy, crypto, and stocks.
- Traders can compare both one-step and two-step evaluation structures.
- The visible challenge rows show on-demand payout frequency and an 80% profit split.
- The dataset includes several payout methods: Bank Transfer, Crypto, Mastercard, Skrill, and Visa Direct.
- The available rating signals are strong, with a 4.6 market-reference rating from 200 reviews and a 4.8 Trustpilot score.
What still needs review
- Official brand URL, affiliate URL, login URL, and checkout URL are not populated in the JSON.
- Trustpilot review count is missing, so the Trustpilot score cannot be paired with a verified review-count claim from this dataset.
- Individual review bodies are not included, so detailed user-experience themes cannot be verified from the JSON.
- Individual payout proof records are not stored, so payout reliability cannot be assessed from proof history here.
- Several trading permissions are not confirmed in the top-level data, including news trading, EA or bot use, copy trading, scalping, hedging, VPN use, and HFT.
- Eligibility needs careful checking because the JSON includes a long restricted-country and restricted-region list.
- The offer data is limited to one visible EUR101 discount tied to a specific 100K Standard 2-Steps condition.
Verdict
FTMO looks strongest in this dataset as a mature CFD prop-firm option with broad platform coverage, multiple EUR-denominated challenge sizes, and both one-step and two-step evaluation paths. The visible rules are clear enough for a high-level comparison: the one-step model shows a 10% target with 3% daily loss and 6% max loss, while the two-step models show 10% / 5% targets with 5% daily loss and 10% max loss.
The main reasons to shortlist FTMO are its visible operating history, platform breadth, asset coverage, and rating signals. The main reasons to slow down are the missing official/affiliate URLs, lack of individual payout proof records, missing Trustpilot review count, and incomplete trading-permission fields.
For a trader comparing FTMO against other prop firms, the practical next step is to match the challenge type to your trading style. Standard may be more relevant if you do not need weekend holding after funding, while Swing is the better fit to investigate if overnight and weekend holding flexibility matters. Before making a decision, confirm your country eligibility, current challenge pricing, active offer terms, and any strategy-specific permissions directly from the latest official rules.
