Futures Prop Firm Rule Changes. Tracked Daily.
Your morning update on futures prop firm rule changes, refreshed overnight.
We track the published rules and policies of 32 futures prop firms and keep every version, so when a firm edits a rule we have the before and after in writing. Most of what changes is really nothing: a fixed typo, a clarified sentence, a word added here and there. But real changes stand out fast, and you can literally watch rules and policies tighten line by line. Payout terms creep, consistency thresholds drop, and prices quietly climb. It works the other way too: sometimes payouts improve and rules loosen, and when that happens it’s usually one of our Premier firms.
Most of the tightening shows up on the Unlisted side, firms we track but haven’t listed on PickAPropFirm.com. When a firm with a rough reputation starts gaining traction on rock-bottom prices, promoted by affiliates who would scam their own grandma for a commission, the discount usually costs you somewhere else, and that somewhere shows up here. If a plan looks too good to be true, it almost always is.
Starred changes are the ones we think deserve your attention; the full feed below is everything we caught, right down to the typo fixes.
Treat this page like your morning paper. It updates overnight, so grab your coffee and see what changed. – Jmu (@jmutrades)

Before
150K | $150,000 | $4,500 | $4,500 net profit | $154,500 | $500 | $3,000
200K | $200,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 net profit | $203,000 | $500 | $2,500
Your drawdown stops moving once you have earned it back. The floor trails your closed daily profit dollar-for-dollar, and once your lifetime net profit matches your starting drawdown it locks permanently at your starting balance. From that point the account cannot fail below breakeven.
A 40% consistency rule applies while Sim Funded, and payouts become available every three trading days once your balance is above the threshold in the table above.
How the consistency rule works
The consistency rule keeps your biggest day in proportion to the rest of your trading. We compare your largest single profitable day against the sum of your profitable days. Losing days are left out of the calculation entirely — many firms divide by your net profit instead, which shrinks the number you are measured against and makes the rule harder to satisfy.
Here is a week counted both ways. Say you made $1,400 on Monday, $900 on Tuesday, lost $900 on Wednesday, then made $900 on Thursday and $400 on Friday:
- At BluSky we add up your profitable days: $1,400 + $900 + $900 + $400 = $3,600. Your biggest day of $1,400 is 38.9% of that — inside the 40% rule. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,600 − $900 = $2,700. The same $1,400 day jumps to 51.9% — outside the same rule. ❌
Being out of consistency does not fail your account. It is checked when you request a payout or try to pass a phase, and you fix it by trading on — every additional profitable day grows the total you are measured against and brings your percentage down.

What the page said before and after
Before
Who can use a referral code?
Anyone new to Topstep who hasn't purchased yet, on their first account purchase only. Codes are public, so you can share yours anywhere.
Is this the affiliate program?
No. Referral Codes are open to all Traders with a Trader Profile.
Where does my reward show up?
Email only. It's a discount code, not cash, and nothing is added to an account balance. Check spam and promotions if you don't see it.
More than 5 people used my code. Where are the rest of my rewards?
The cap is 5 reward codes in a rolling 90-day period. Rewards past that aren't banked. Once your oldest code expires, you're eligible to earn another.
I signed up but didn't see the discount. Did I miss it?
No. The referral code applies to your first account purchase, not at sign-up. Enter it at checkout!
Can I see who used my code?
Not yet. The reward email is the only signal right now.
Section: Affiliate Codes
How to Add or Update Payment Details
- Go to your Billing Page on the Dashboard
- Click Add New Card and enter your details
- Scroll to Subscriptions
- Click the Edit icon next to the subscription you want to update
- Select your preferred card and save
☝ Important: At least 1 card must remain on file while a Trading Combine is active. Removing all cards will close your account. Once you set a default card, new purchases will automatically be tied to that card. To update an existing subscription’s payment method, you must change your default card and update the individual subscription.
Payment Troubleshooting
- Use a card in your name — must match your Topstep profile exactly. Using someone else’s card violates the Terms of Use.
- Check your billing address — must match your bank’s records exactly, including formatting.
- Delete and re-enter payment details manually — avoid autofill.
- Wait at least 1 hour between retry attempts — rapid retries can trigger bank blocks.

Once the Trading Objectives of the Evaluation are evaluated as passed, the subscription is cancelled, and no additional payments are charged. This means you won’t be charged for the Sim-Funded Account or Live Funded Account.
There is no activation fee, and there are no hidden fees beyond the subscription.

Can I modify my platform or account type?
With the exception of the Free Trial accounts, our system allows you to modify certain account parameters, provided no trades have been placed on the current account. After you pass a phase or receive a reward, you get a new account where the modification can be processed.
You can make all available modifications directly in Account MetriX by clicking the “Modify” button in the upper section and confirming your request.
- Platform modification is available for all accounts.
- Account types may be changed from Swing to Standard, but not vice versa.

Why is there a fee?
The fee covers the costs associated with providing the FTMO Challenge and the FTMO Instant Account products, including the design, development, and operation of the FTMO platform and its technical infrastructure, which supports our educational services and proprietary applications. The amount of the fee depends on the selected product (1-Step FTMO Challenge, 2-Step FTMO Challenge, or FTMO Instant Account) and the size of the simulated account balance.
By paying the fee, you gain access not only to the FTMO Challenge or the FTMO Instant Account in the simulated trading environment, but also to FTMO’s proprietary applications designed to support your learning and performance, such as the Statistical Application, Mentor Application, Account and Trader’s Analysis, Account MetriX, trading calculators, and other tools and content available to our clients.
- For the 2-Step FTMO Challenge, we will refund you the initial purchase fee once you request your first Reward withdrawal, using the same payment method you used.
- For the 1-Step FTMO Challenge and FTMO Instant Account, the entry fee is not refundable.

How does FTMO help?
Making a living as a retail trader, especially if you intend to use your own money, is tough. With the FTMO Prop Trading firm, you can hone and prove your skills on an FTMO Challenge or an FTMO Instant Account, and receive real monetary Payouts for your performance without risking your own capital on the live markets.
To receive a Reward from the FTMO Challenge product, you must first reach the FTMO Account phase. The simulated profit created during the Evaluation Process does not grant you eligibility for a Reward.
Our three products, 1-Step FTMO Challenge, 2-Step FTMO Challenge and FTMO Instant Account, let you choose the conditions that fit your trading style. For the 2-Step FTMO Challenge, we will refund you the initial purchase fee once you request your first Reward withdrawal, using the same payment method you used.
Having experience with trading ourselves, we understand that to be a great trader, you need more than just enough capital to trade with. It is in our interest to provide our clients with conditions under which they can perform at their best. Our clients will receive wide access to our innovative Trading Applications, which can enhance their trading edge, and they will also receive detailed feedback from our company. FTMO Traders and clients with an FTMO Instant Account who have placed their first trade may also periodically consult with our Trading Psychology Coach free of charge.
Last but not least, there is the trading discipline that we emphasise. You cannot be all loosey-goosey with the FTMO accounts. Our rules are designed to teach you professional risk management habits and ultimately make you a better trader.

How does the affiliate levels system work?
The affiliate level system rewards consistent performance over time. Your level is determined by the total commissions you generate within a calendar month, and commissions from all products count together. Updates are applied on the 18th day of the following month.
The core of the system is a three-month period. When you reach a new level, you keep its benefits and commission rates for the next three months. During this period, one of the following can occur based on your performance in any given calendar month:
- Level Up: you advance if you meet the requirements for a higher tier, starting a new three-month period at that level.
- Renew Level: you maintain your level by meeting its requirements again. Renewing Gold or Platinum also grants a free FTMO Challenge.
- Level Down: if you do not meet the criteria to renew or advance within three months, your level adjusts based on your best-performing month.

Platinum | 20% | 18% | 9% | €2,500 / $2,750 | Free $100,000 FTMO Challenge (transferable)
CFD Products are the 1-Step and 2-Step FTMO Challenge and the FTMO Instant Account, each paying a one-time commission on the trader’s first purchase of that product.
Levels are calculated per programme: your FTMO level from FTMO commissions in EUR, your FTMO US level from FTMO US commissions in USD.
At Silver level or above you can choose a custom affiliate code, for example your brand name, which traders enter at FTMO Futures checkout instead of your default code. Simply request it from the affiliate team and they will create it for you. Since a new Evaluation account is attributed to whichever code the trader enters at purchase, a memorable code is the most direct way to make sure new accounts land with you.

All FAQ
Futures
− Are there countries where I cannot refer clients or receive payouts?
− Are there countries where I cannot refer clients or receive payouts?
Yes, and the same restrictions apply on both sides of the programme: if FTMO cannot provide services to someone as a client, we also cannot pay them as an affiliate. Referred orders from restricted countries do not generate commissions, and affiliates residing in restricted countries cannot receive payouts.
Who can become a partner
The Affiliate Programme has two restrictions of its own, on top of the client restrictions: residents and nationals of Vietnam and Pakistan cannot join the Affiliate Programme. Clients from these countries can still be referred, subject to the product availability below. The restriction applies to becoming a partner.
Who can be referred, and where the authoritative lists live
The restricted-country lists are maintained in the eligibility FAQs, and this entry deliberately does not duplicate them, so there is exactly one place to keep current:
- For FTMO clients: Who can join FTMO?
- For FTMO US clients: Who can join FTMO US?
- For FTMO Futures specifically: Who can join FTMO Futures?
Those pages carry the full list of countries where FTMO does not provide services, the categorical exclusions, and the conditional exceptions for nationals of Iran, Syria and Myanmar.
United States eligibility scope (FTMO US)
For the purposes of eligibility, the United States includes the 50 states as well as the following U.S. territories: American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, United States Minor Outlying Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. However, we do not currently accept entities from Arkansas, Delaware, Louisiana, Montana, or South Carolina.
Section: FTMO Futures availability is narrower than for the FTMO Challenge and FTMO Instant Account
− FTMO Futures availability is narrower than FTMO Challenges
FTMO Futures is available to individuals only: companies, legal entities, businesses and self-employed registrations are not accepted, so a company cannot be referred to FTMO Futures.
Futures access also differs by country, and for what you can earn there are three cases:
- FTMO Futures available: subscription and Account Reset commissions apply. Some of these countries allow a Sim-Funded Account but not a Live Funded Account, but that difference affects the trader’s journey, not your commissions.
− - FTMO Challenges only: no FTMO Futures at all, so Challenge commissions only.
- Fully restricted: no services, no commissions, and no affiliate payouts to residents.
The country lists are maintained in Who can join FTMO Futures? and can change, so always check there rather than assuming.

How to start?
− Before you decide to start an FTMO Challenge, we want to make sure that you understand how the process works and what is expected from you.
− After you sign up, you can either start the FTMO Challenge: 1-Step or the FTMO Challenge: 2-Step right away, or — as we usually recommend — begin with our Free Trial. The Free Trial is a free, simplified version of the FTMO Challenge experience designed for practice purposes.

Why should I join FTMO?
− Trading is difficult. While trading, you may face many common problems such a:
- Trading an account that is too small (undercapitalisation)
- Fear of losing your own money
- Psychological pressures
- Lack of discipline
- Growth limitations
- Insufficient support from your surroundings
Section: How does FTMO help?
− Making a living as a retail trader, especially if you intend to use your own money, is tough. With the FTMO Prop Trading firm, you can get access to an FTMO Account with up to $400,000 of fictitious capital and try what it’s like to trade without the actual risk of losing your money.
− Having experience with trading ourselves, we understand that to be a great trader, you need more than just enough capital to trade with. It is in our interest to provide our clients with conditions under which they can perform at their best. Our clients will receive wide access to our innovative Trading Applications which can enhance their trading edge and they will also receive detailed feedback from our company. FTMO Traders may also periodically consult with our Performance Coach free of charge.
− Then there is the trading discipline that we emphasize. You cannot be all loosey-goosey with the FTMO Account. We will carefully observe your trading results and provide you with an assessment in the form of the Account Analysis and Trader’s Analysis. Our rules are designed to teach you professional risk management habits and ultimately make you a better trader. No more over-trading, revenge trading, over-leveraging, etc.
− Another issue traders face is the so-called ‘keep and grow or withdraw and go‘. Do you prefer compounding your account or rather enjoying your hard-earned profit? At FTMO, you can do both. With FTMO, once you get to the FTMO Trader stage you can receive real rewards for your performance. You can claim your Reward for withdrawal anytime in your Account MetriX after 14 days from your first trade on your demo FTMO Account.

+ Trading is difficult. While trading, you may face many common problems such as:

- Fear of losing your own money
- Psychological pressures
- Lack of discipline
- Growth limitations
- Insufficient support from your surroundings

+ How does FTMO help?
+ Making a living as a retail trader, especially if you intend to use your own money, is tough. With the FTMO Prop Trading firm, you can hone and prove your skills on an FTMO Challenge or an FTMO Instant Account, and receive real monetary Payouts for your performance without risking your own capital on the live markets.
+ To receive a Reward from the FTMO Challenge product, you must first reach the FTMO Account phase. The simulated profit created during the Evaluation Process does not grant you eligibility for a Reward.
+ Our three products, 1-Step FTMO Challenge, 2-Step FTMO Challenge and FTMO Instant Account, let you choose the conditions that fit your trading style. For the 2-Step FTMO Challenge, we will refund you the initial purchase fee once you request your first Reward withdrawal, using the same payment method you used.
+ Having experience with trading ourselves, we understand that to be a great trader, you need more than just enough capital to trade with. It is in our interest to provide our clients with conditions under which they can perform at their best. Our clients will receive wide access to our innovative Trading Applications, which can enhance their trading edge, and they will also receive detailed feedback from our company. FTMO Traders and clients with an FTMO Instant Account who have placed their first trade may also periodically consult with our Trading Psychology Coach free of charge.
+ Last but not least, there is the trading discipline that we emphasise. You cannot be all loosey-goosey with the FTMO accounts. Our rules are designed to teach you professional risk management habits and ultimately make you a better trader.

− Making a living as a retail trader, especially if you intend to use your own money, is tough. With the FTMO Prop Trading firm, you can get access to an FTMO Account with up to $400,000 of fictitious capital and try what it’s like to trade without the actual risk of losing your money.
− Having experience with trading ourselves, we understand that to be a great trader, you need more than just enough capital to trade with. It is in our interest to provide our clients with conditions under which they can perform at their best. Our clients will receive wide access to our innovative Trading Applications which can enhance their trading edge and they will also receive detailed feedback from our company. FTMO Traders may also periodically consult with our Performance Coach free of charge.
− Then there is the trading discipline that we emphasize. You cannot be all loosey-goosey with the FTMO Account. We will carefully observe your trading results and provide you with an assessment in the form of the Account Analysis and Trader’s Analysis. Our rules are designed to teach you professional risk management habits and ultimately make you a better trader. No more over-trading, revenge trading, over-leveraging, etc.
− Another issue traders face is the so-called ‘keep and grow or withdraw and go‘. Do you prefer compounding your account or rather enjoying your hard-earned profit? At FTMO, you can do both. With FTMO, once you get to the FTMO Trader stage you can receive real rewards for your performance. You can claim your Reward for withdrawal anytime in your Account MetriX after 14 days from your first trade on your demo FTMO Account. Periodically, we can allocate more balance into your FTMO Account if you’re consistently profitable. Get paid and grow at the same time according to our Scaling Plan.
− Last but not least, the initial fee that you’ve paid will be refunded to you with the first Reward withdrawal from the FTMO Account.
− For traders qualifying through the FTMO Challenge: 2-Step, the initial fee is refunded with the first Reward withdrawal from the FTMO Account. For traders qualifying through the FTMO Challenge: 1-Step, the initial fee is not refunded.

How do the FTMO and FTMO US Affiliate Programmes differ?
Section: How do the FTMO and FTMO US Affiliate Programmes differ?
− To ensure full compliance with local regulations in the United States, FTMO operates FTMO US, a distinct entity, JV Prop Corporation (FTMO US), dedicated to US clients, while the FTMO (Global) programme is operated by FTMO Evaluation Global s.r.o. You promote both under one partner identity, but referrals, commissions, levels and payouts are tracked separately per programme, across both FTMO Challenges and FTMO Futures. Which entity provides which products is stated in these FAQs.
Affiliate Dashboard
Section: Affiliate Dashboard
− The Affiliate Dashboard includes a programme switcher that lets you toggle between the FTMO and FTMO US views. Each view covers both products for that entity. The FTMO view tracks referrals and commissions from all non-US countries in EUR. The FTMO US view tracks referrals, sales and commissions generated from US clients in USD.
Affiliate links
Section: Affiliate links
− Both programmes are available in your dashboard from the start. Switch to the FTMO US view and you will find your separate FTMO US affiliate link there. Your unique ID remains identical across both links. Smart redirection detects a client’s location automatically: US clients accessing an FTMO link are redirected to the FTMO US site, and non-US clients accessing an FTMO US link are redirected to the FTMO site. FTMO Futures is the exception: all clients, including US clients, purchase FTMO Futures on ftmo.com.
Best practice is to use the FTMO US link for US-focused content and the FTMO link for all other promotions.
Levels and balances
Section: Levels and balances
− Each programme runs its own level, calculated in its own currency, from its own commissions. The two never combine: your FTMO commissions cannot push up your FTMO US level or vice versa. Within each programme, both products count toward that programme’s level. Commission rates by level are identical in both programmes. The thresholds, currencies and payout methods differ as shown throughout this FAQ.
Because FTMO tracks in EUR and converts Futures orders from USD while FTMO US tracks natively in USD, equivalent sales can show slightly different figures in the two dashboard views.
Eligibility and restricted countries

− To ensure a fair, transparent and long-term partnership, you must adhere to several key promotional guidelines. They apply to both programmes and both products. Using unauthorised promotion is a reason for commissions to be rejected.
Key prohibitions
- No self-referrals: you are strictly forbidden from signing up through your own affiliate link, and commissions from such orders will be rejected.
Section: Key prohibitions
− - No brand bidding in paid ads: you may not bid on FTMO-branded keywords (for example ‘FTMO’, ‘FTMO US’, ‘FTMO Challenge’, ‘FTMO Futures’) in any paid advertising campaigns. This is considered a serious violation.
- No brand impersonation: you must not create websites, social media profiles or advertisements that could mislead users into believing they are official FTMO channels.
- No false claims about FTMO’s products or about discounts: misleading advertising can result in the termination of your Affiliate profile.
Using your rewards
When you receive a free FTMO product as a reward, you can use it yourself or give it away to your friends or followers. From the moment you receive the reward, any plan to use it as a giveaway, for example a contest, raffle or promotion, must first be reviewed and approved by the Affiliate Manager.

What are the requirements for an affiliate payout?
What are the requirements for an affiliate payout?
Before you can withdraw your approved commissions, there are several requirements you must meet.
- Identity verification (KYC/KYB): all partners must complete FTMO Identity verification before their first payout can be processed.
- Tax documentation (FTMO US only): before your first FTMO US payout, you must complete a W-9 tax form in your dashboard.
- Minimum payout balance: €50 in FTMO, $55 in FTMO US.
Once you meet these requirements, you can set up your withdrawal. FTMO payouts are available via bank transfer, Skrill or crypto, in EUR, USD or GBP. FTMO US payouts are processed via wire transfer, in USD.
Your FTMO and FTMO US balances are held separately and cannot be combined into a single payout.

In which currency are my commissions calculated and paid?
Your commissions are calculated and tracked in each programme’s currency: EUR in FTMO, USD in FTMO US.
Section: In which currency are my commissions calculated and paid?
− FTMO Challenges are priced in each programme’s own currency, so no conversion is applied in either programme.
FTMO Futures is priced in USD everywhere, and what happens next differs by programme.
In the FTMO programme, a Futures order is converted from USD to EUR using the rate valid on the day the order is created, and your commission is calculated from that EUR amount. At payout, your balance converts from EUR into your chosen payout currency at the rate current at withdrawal. Two separate rates can therefore apply across a single commission: the order date rate sets the amount your commission is calculated from, and the payout date rate sets what you receive, so the final amount may differ slightly from a direct percentage of the price shown to the trader. Your FTMO level thresholds are also set in EUR while Futures is priced in USD, so exchange rate movement can affect where your monthly total sits relative to a threshold.
In FTMO US there is no conversion at any point: your commission is calculated directly from the USD order value and paid in USD, so the amount you see when a commission is approved is the amount you are paid.

The approval process
- Immediate commission approval: once your referred trader starts trading, your commission is approved immediately.
- Automatic approval (fallback): if the trader does not start trading, FTMO commissions are approved automatically 14 days after the purchase date, matching the 14-day refund window. FTMO US has no refunds, so its commissions are approved without a refund holding period.
- FTMO Futures renewals: each monthly subscription payment after the first is approved immediately. The holding period applies only to the trader’s first subscription payment.
- Account Resets: commission on an Account Reset is approved immediately on purchase.
Understanding each commission status
- Order not paid: an order was created using your link, but we have not yet received payment from the trader.
- Processing: the trader has paid, and the commission is in the holding period awaiting approval.
- Accepted: the commission has been approved and is now in your balance, ready to be paid out.
- Rejected: the commission was not approved. A commission will be rejected if the order was cancelled or not paid, or if we manually rejected it for a rule violation, such as using an unauthorised promotion or attempting a self-referral.

Section: Do traders I referred before the FTMO Futures launch earn me Futures commissions?
− Yes. If a trader you referred for FTMO Challenges later purchases FTMO Futures, that purchase, and every later Futures purchase they make, attributes to you automatically and earns you commission, even if you referred them before Futures launched. The one exception is a purchase where they enter another affiliate’s code, in which case that specific account belongs to the other affiliate and everything else stays with you.
The mechanics work exactly as for any other Futures referral:
- The 12-month commission period runs from that trader’s first FTMO Futures purchase, through any affiliate, not from the date you originally referred them. A trader you referred two years ago starts their 12-month period with their first Futures purchase, and that period never restarts.
− - Subscription and Account Reset commissions accrue at your level rates in force when each payment lands, and count toward your monthly level total as normal.
- FTMO Futures country availability still applies.
− This also works the other way around: if you referred a trader for FTMO Futures and they later buy an FTMO Challenge, that purchase attributes to you and earns commission in exactly the same way.
No action is needed on your side. Attribution follows your existing referral automatically.

How does attribution work for FTMO Futures referrals?
How does attribution work for FTMO Futures referrals?
Attribution for FTMO Futures works per Evaluation account.
When a trader you referred buys an FTMO Futures Evaluation, that account is attributed to you. You earn commission on the first subscription payment, every subscription renewal and every Account Reset on that account, for as long as the trader’s 12-month commission period is running. Any further Evaluation the same trader buys is attributed to you automatically as well, with no new link or code needed, unless they enter another affiliate’s code at checkout.
Affiliate codes take priority over affiliate links at checkout. If a trader enters another affiliate’s code when buying a new Evaluation, that new account is attributed to the other affiliate. Accounts already attributed to you are not affected and stay with you.
Section: How does attribution work for FTMO Futures referrals?
− Only a code can do this. A trader who already has an FTMO account is not re-attributed by clicking another affiliate’s link, because links attribute a trader once, when their FTMO account is created. For a trader who already had an account before, another affiliate’s code affects that one Futures account only and does not change who the trader is attributed to for FTMO Challenges. A brand-new trader is different: if their very first purchase is an FTMO Futures Evaluation bought with your code, that code pairs them to you as a trader, so their later purchases, FTMO Challenges included, are attributed to you too.
If a trader buys a new Evaluation without entering any code, the account is attributed to the affiliate who originally referred them.
Attribution is decided only at the moment a new Evaluation account is purchased. Renewals and Account Resets always follow the account they belong to and cannot be moved to another affiliate.
Example: a trader you referred buys a $50K Evaluation. You earn commission on all its renewals and Account Resets. Six months later the same trader buys a $150K Evaluation and enters another affiliate’s code. The $150K account is attributed to the other affiliate. The $50K account and everything it produces stay with you until the trader’s 12-month commission period ends.
− This applies to FTMO Futures only. FTMO Challenge referrals work as before: the trader is attributed to the affiliate whose link they used, and you earn a one-time commission on their first Challenge purchase.

What is my affiliate code and how do traders use it?
Your affiliate code is a second way to receive credit for FTMO Futures referrals, alongside your affiliate link. Every affiliate has one from the start: it is your affiliate hash, the randomly generated 20-character code already contained in your affiliate link, for example xK9pQ2mVb7Lc4TnR8sWy, and you can copy it from your Affiliate Dashboard.
Affiliates at Silver level and above can choose a custom code of their own, and once created, a custom code stays active regardless of your level afterwards.
Traders enter the code in the Affiliate code field at FTMO Futures checkout when buying a new Evaluation, separate from the Discount field. The account, including its subscription renewals and Account Resets, is then attributed to you even if the trader did not arrive through your link.
The affiliate code does not change the price. It is not a discount code: discounts go in the separate Discount field, and a trader can use both an affiliate code and a discount code on the same order. The affiliate code’s only purpose is to credit the account to you.

− Affiliate codes are currently entered at FTMO Futures checkout only. For FTMO Challenge referrals, use your affiliate link. If a brand-new trader’s very first purchase is a Futures Evaluation with your code, they are paired to you as a trader and their later FTMO Challenge purchases are attributed to you as well.

What is my affiliate code and how do traders use it?
Your affiliate code is a second way to receive credit for FTMO Futures referrals, alongside your affiliate link. Every affiliate has one from the start: it is your affiliate hash, the randomly generated 20-character code already contained in your affiliate link, for example xK9pQ2mVb7Lc4TnR8sWy, and you can copy it from your Affiliate Dashboard.
Affiliates at Silver level and above can choose a custom code of their own, and once created, a custom code stays active regardless of your level afterwards.
Traders enter the code in the Affiliate code field at FTMO Futures checkout when buying a new Evaluation, separate from the Discount field. The account, including its subscription renewals and Account Resets, is then attributed to you even if the trader did not arrive through your link.
The affiliate code does not change the price. It is not a discount code: discounts go in the separate Discount field, and a trader can use both an affiliate code and a discount code on the same order. The affiliate code’s only purpose is to credit the account to you.

Section: How do FTMO Futures commissions work?
− FTMO Futures is sold as a recurring monthly Evaluation subscription rather than a one-time purchase, so it pays differently than FTMO Challenges. The mechanics below are the same in the FTMO and FTMO US programmes.
Recurring subscription commission. You earn a commission on every monthly Evaluation subscription payment your referred trader makes, at your subscription rate for your current level.
When the subscription ends. The Evaluation subscription is charged on the trader’s billing anniversary for as long as it stays active, and it ends in one of these ways:
- They pass the Evaluation. The subscription is cancelled automatically and no further payments are charged, because the Sim-Funded Account and the Live Funded Account are not subscription products. Commission on that trader’s subscription stops at that point.
- They cancel. Billing stops at the end of the period already paid for.
- A payment fails. Access is paused, and if it is not resolved within the grace period the account is closed.
Futures Account Resets. If a referred trader fails their Evaluation, they can purchase an Account Reset to start again. Every Account Reset earns you commission at half your subscription rate for that level.
The 12-month commission period. You earn FTMO Futures commissions on each referred trader for 12 months from the date of that trader’s first FTMO Futures Evaluation purchase, whichever affiliate it was attributed to, or none. The period is counted per trader, not per account: it starts once, with the trader’s very first Futures purchase, and does not restart when they buy further Evaluations, use a different affiliate code, or are referred by someone else. During the period you earn on all subscription renewals and Account Resets on accounts attributed to you. After 12 months, no further commissions are credited for that trader on any account.
Both subscription and Account Reset commissions count toward your monthly commission total for levelling. Recurring subscription commissions and Account Resets apply to FTMO Futures only.

Section: How does the affiliate levels system work?
− The affiliate level system rewards consistent performance over time. Your level is determined by the total commissions you generate within a calendar month, and commissions from FTMO Challenges and FTMO Futures count together. Updates are applied on the 18th day of the following month.
The core of the system is a three-month period. When you reach a new level, you keep its benefits and commission rates for the next three months. During this period, one of the following can occur based on your performance in any given calendar month:
− - Level Up: You advance if you meet the requirements for a higher tier, starting a new three-month period at that level.
− - Renew Level: You maintain your level by meeting its requirements again. Renewing Gold or Platinum also grants a free FTMO Challenge.
− - Level Down: If you do not meet the criteria to renew or advance within three months, your level adjusts based on your best-performing month.
− Commission model (rates identical in both programmes, thresholds shown as FTMO / FTMO US):
− Level | FTMO Challenges | Futures Evaluations | Futures Account Resets | Monthly Commissions to Reach | Additional Reward
Bronze | 8% | 10% | 5% | Starting level, no minimum | —
Silver | 10% | 12% | 6% | €250 / $275 | Custom affiliate code
Gold | 15% | 15% | 7.5% | €1,000 / $1,100 | Free $50,000 FTMO Challenge (transferable)
Platinum | 20% | 18% | 9% | €2,500 / $2,750 | Free $100,000 FTMO Challenge (transferable)
Levels are calculated per programme: your FTMO level from FTMO commissions in EUR, your FTMO US level from FTMO US commissions in USD.
− At Silver level or above, you can choose a custom affiliate code (for example, your brand name), which traders enter at FTMO Futures checkout instead of your default code. Simply request it from the affiliate team and they will create it for you. Since a new Evaluation account is attributed to whichever code the trader enters at purchase, a memorable code is the most direct way to make sure new accounts land with you.

− You earn commissions when a trader referred through your affiliate link or code makes a qualifying purchase. Your affiliate link covers both products. Your affiliate code can currently be entered at FTMO Futures checkout only.
− - FTMO Challenges: a one-time commission on the trader’s first Challenge purchase, from 8% at Bronze up to 20% at Platinum.
- FTMO Futures Evaluations: a recurring commission on every monthly Evaluation subscription payment your referred trader makes (capped at 12 months for this commission), from 10% at Bronze up to 18% at Platinum. You also earn on every Futures Account Reset they purchase (same cap applies), calculated at 50% of your current level (5% at Bronze, 6% at Silver, 7.5% at Gold and 9% at Platinum).
Commissions on subscription renewals and Account Resets are credited to the affiliate the account is attributed to. Attribution is decided when a new Evaluation account is purchased and does not change afterwards.
− Commission rates are identical in the FTMO and FTMO US programmes. Your rates depend on your partner level in each programme, based on the total commissions you generate within a calendar month across both products. All affiliates start at Bronze and can progress through Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Note that each programme has its own level: your FTMO commissions build your FTMO level and your FTMO US commissions build your FTMO US level; they do not combine.

+ - FTMO Challenge and FTMO Instant Account: a one-time commission on the trader’s first purchase of each product, so their first 1-Step FTMO Challenge, first 2-Step FTMO Challenge and first FTMO Instant Account each earn you a commission, from 8% at Bronze up to 20% at Platinum.
- FTMO Futures Evaluations: a recurring commission on every monthly Evaluation subscription payment your referred trader makes (capped at 12 months for this commission), from 10% at Bronze up to 18% at Platinum. You also earn on every Futures Account Reset they purchase (same cap applies), calculated at 50% of your current level (5% at Bronze, 6% at Silver, 7.5% at Gold and 9% at Platinum).
Commissions on subscription renewals and Account Resets are credited to the affiliate the account is attributed to. Attribution is decided when a new Evaluation account is purchased and does not change afterwards.
+ Commission rates are identical in the FTMO and FTMO US programmes. Your rates depend on your partner level in each programme, based on the total commissions you generate within a calendar month across all products. All affiliates start at Bronze and can progress through Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Note that each programme has its own level: your FTMO commissions build your FTMO level and your FTMO US commissions build your FTMO US level; they do not combine.

PremierFTMO Futures · Are there country restrictions for affiliates and referred clients?FTMO Futures availability scope updated to reference FTMO Challenge and FTMO Instant Account; commission structure and FAQ heading also changed.Oct 12
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
Are there country restrictions for affiliates and referred clients?
Yes, and the same restrictions apply on both sides of the programme: if FTMO cannot provide services to someone as a client, we also cannot pay them as an affiliate. Referred orders from restricted countries do not generate commissions, and affiliates residing in restricted countries cannot receive payouts.
Who can become a partner
The Affiliate Programme has two restrictions of its own, on top of the client restrictions: residents and nationals of Vietnam and Pakistan cannot join the Affiliate Programme. Clients from these countries can still be referred, subject to the product availability below. The restriction applies to becoming a partner.
Who can be referred, and where the authoritative lists live
The restricted-country lists are maintained in the eligibility FAQs, and this entry deliberately does not duplicate them, so there is exactly one place to keep current:
- For FTMO clients: Who can join FTMO?
- For FTMO US clients: Who can join FTMO US?
- For FTMO Futures specifically: Who can join FTMO Futures?
Those pages carry the full list of countries where FTMO does not provide services, the categorical exclusions, and the conditional exceptions for nationals of Iran, Syria and Myanmar.
United States eligibility scope (FTMO US)
For the purposes of eligibility, the United States includes the 50 states as well as the following U.S. territories: American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, United States Minor Outlying Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. However, we do not currently accept entities from Arkansas, Delaware, Louisiana, Montana, or South Carolina.
Section: FTMO Futures availability is narrower than for the FTMO Challenge and FTMO Instant Account
− FTMO Futures availability is narrower than FTMO Challenges
FTMO Futures is available to individuals only: companies, legal entities, businesses and self-employed registrations are not accepted, so a company cannot be referred to FTMO Futures.
Futures access also differs by country, and for what you can earn there are three cases:
- FTMO Futures available: subscription and Account Reset commissions apply. Some of these countries allow a Sim-Funded Account but not a Live Funded Account, but that difference affects the trader’s journey, not your commissions.
− - FTMO Challenges only: no FTMO Futures at all, so Challenge commissions only.
- Fully restricted: no services, no commissions, and no affiliate payouts to residents.
The country lists are maintained in Who can join FTMO Futures? and can change, so always check there rather than assuming.

What happens during the contract expiry?
What happens during the contract expiry?
Futures contracts have a fixed expiry date. As a contract approaches expiry, trading activity moves to the next active contract month.
Because FTMO Futures rules do not allow holding positions past the market close, there is no need for manual account rolling or transitioning open trades. You simply close your positions for the day as usual, and start trading the new active contract during your next session. Expiry dates and the current active contract are always displayed on your trading platform.
Note that the liquidity and trading conditions can become volatile as a contract nears its expiry, so it is good practice to monitor your positions closely around these dates.

What is the maximum number of contracts I can trade?
Each FTMO Futures account has a maximum number of contracts (the Max Contracts limit) you can hold at one time. On the Evaluation, the limit is 5 contracts on a 50K account, 10 on a 100K account, and 15 on a 150K account (the same for Growth and Pro).
On a Sim-Funded Account, you start with a lower base limit that can increase up to the same ceiling as you generate profit. More information about the Max Contracts Scaling can be found on the Trading Objectives and Rules page, in the Maximum Contracts section. Micro contracts count towards the limit at a reduced rate (1:10) compared with mini contracts.
If you try to exceed this limit, the platform will not allow you to open a position.

How does the FTMO technical infrastructure work?
How does the FTMO technical infrastructure work?
FTMO Futures provides a simulated trading environment built on the NinjaTrader/Tradovate infrastructure, designed to mirror real futures market conditions as closely as possible.
Execution and market data
Trades are executed based on real market quotes and data sourced from the exchanges. However, on the Evaluation account and Sim-Funded Account, the trader only trades in a simulated environment, and their orders do not affect the symbol’s price. As on any platform, you may experience execution delays and slippage, which can be positive or negative.
Commissions

How does the FTMO technical infrastructure work?
How does the FTMO technical infrastructure work?
FTMO Futures provides a simulated trading environment built on the NinjaTrader/Tradovate infrastructure, designed to mirror real futures market conditions as closely as possible.
Execution and market data
Trades are executed based on real market quotes and data sourced from the exchanges. However, on the Evaluation account and Sim-Funded Account, the trader only trades in a simulated environment, and their orders do not affect the symbol’s price. As on any platform, you may experience execution delays and slippage, which can be positive or negative.

What is the CME Non-Professional Attestation?
The CME Non-Professional Self-Attestation is a short legal form that you sign directly on the trading platform when you first log in.
By signing it, you confirm that you qualify as a non-professional user of market data, which allows you to access exchange data at non-professional rates. Your live market data is activated only after you have signed this form.
Most of FTMO traders on Evaluation and Sim-Funded Account qualify as non-professional. To determine whether this situation also applies to you, please refer to one of the following sources:

With FTMO Futures, you can access a simulated trading environment and trade futures contracts (including Micro and Mini contracts) on instruments from the major CME Group exchanges. The full list of available instruments is published in this FAQ and shown on your trading platform.
Your trading style is up to you. As long as your trading is legitimate and in line with proper risk management, conforms to the real market conditions, and does not constitute Forbidden Trading Practices, we have no reasons for limiting or restricting your trading strategy, whether it’s discretionary trading, algorithmic trading or EAs. When trading, keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to generate the same results as on your Evaluation or Sim-Funded Account. We do not require you to use a Stop-loss, although it’s generally advisable to always have certain safety measures in place.
If you intend to use trading robots (Expert Advisors – EAs), keep in mind that if you use a third-party EA, other traders may already be using the same EA and therefore the same strategy. By using a third-party EA, you risk being denied the Sim-Funded Account, since no copy trading across registrations is allowed and FTMO requires you to use a unique strategy. Also, please keep in mind that the platform’s servers have an API limit on the number of orders per predefined time period.
Please beware of practices that have nothing in common with serious trading. If we identify such practice, we reserve our right to take the necessary action to mitigate risk. This might vary from removing the conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, or terminating the account completely and ceasing our cooperation altogether. You may refer to the Forbidden Trading Practices page for more information on what constitutes Forbidden Trading Practices. Please use our services with genuine intentions and show us your edge in the markets and consistency that you can be proud of.

What is 'Trading according to a real market'?
Trading must be legitimate, and traders must not use practices that they would not use if trading on a real market. A strategy is allowed as long as it does not interfere with legitimate trading, exploit the simulated environment, or constitute a Forbidden Trading Practice.
Please note that the Evaluation and Sim-Funded stages are simulated, using fictitious capital with market quotes based on the real market. We emulate the conditions of a real market and require proper risk management, because consistent, genuine trading is what may ultimately qualify you for a Live Funded Account with real capital.
We recommend that you familiarise yourself with Forbidden Trading Practices before you start.

What is the rule about trading within 2% of a CME price limit?
What is the rule about trading within 2% of a CME price limit?
A CME price limit is the maximum price range a futures contract can move within a trading day. When the limit is hit, the exchange may halt trading, expand the limit, or stop trading for the rest of the trading day, depending on the product. FTMO adds a 2% safety buffer before this limit, restricting traders from opening new positions on the affected instrument.
For example, for most equity index futures, the first CME limit is 7%, measured from the previous day’s settlement price. In this case, once the price moves more than 5% from the previous day’s settlement price, traders are not allowed to open new positions on the affected symbol.
The trader is solely responsible for monitoring the current price limits, which CME publishes and updates after each trading day on its official Price Limits page. If the rule is violated, FTMO has the right to terminate the trading account.
