What is FTMO?
FTMO is a project focused on identifying experienced traders with proven trading skills, as well as helping new traders learn how trading works without risking their own capital. With FTMO Futures, we are extending our offering into the futures market.
Our products
To assess these abilities, we offer two products, Growth Evaluation and Pro Evaluation, through which we evaluate trading performance and risk management on simulated futures accounts.
Becoming an FTMO Trader
After successfully completing the Evaluation, a trader may progress to a Sim-Funded Account and become an FTMO Trader, where they can earn real monetary payouts based on their results when trading in a simulated environment. A small number of top-performing traders may later progress to a Live Funded Account with real capital as an FTMO Live Funded Trader. However, this step is solely based on FTMO’s individual assessment. Across both products, the Payout Ratio is 90/10 for the FTMO Trader.
Client Area and support
In your Client Area, you can access your performance data and account metrics. We also offer 24/7 customer support for any questions about our rules, platforms, or any FTMO-related topics.
