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.

FTMO Futures is the exception: all clients, including US clients, purchase FTMO Futures on the global ftmo.com site.
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.

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
