- One phase, monthly subscription, no activation fee. Resets cost $10 less than the monthly price.
- Drawdown is end-of-day trailing and locks at your initial capital.
- Consistency is non-breaching: exceed the best-day percentage and you simply have to keep trading until your best day fits under the cap — it never fails the account.
- You can run unlimited evaluations but at most 3 Sim-Funded accounts ($450K combined).
FTMO Futures Funded Rules (Sim-Funded)
Both plans pay a 90/10 split, with a $20 minimum withdrawal, and at least 50% of every request must be new profit since your last payout. Contract size scales up as your end-of-day profit grows.
Growth funded rules
- Soft daily loss limit of $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 by size — hitting it auto-closes your trades and suspends you for the day; the account survives.
- Withdraw up to 50% of profit above your initial capital per cycle, capped at $2,500 / $3,000 / $4,000 per request.
- Payout eligibility every 4 qualifying days (days with at least $150 / $250 / $300 profit by size).
Pro funded rules
- Hard daily loss limit of $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000 — breach it and the account is terminated.
- Withdraw up to 100% of profit above your initial capital, capped at $5,000 / $6,000 / $8,000 per request.
- Payout eligibility every 5 qualifying days (at least $200 / $300 / $500 profit by size).
Payouts go via Wise, Revolut wire, Visa Direct or Mastercard Send (not all available to US clients; US traders file a W-9 and prove a US bank account). Moving to a Live Funded account is by invitation at FTMO’s discretion.
FTMO Futures FAQ
Is FTMO Futures the same as the FTMO Challenge?
No. The Challenge trades CFD indices (like US100), not futures. FTMO Futures is a separate product trading simulated CME futures contracts — NQ included — on NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView.
What are the funded rules for FTMO Futures?
90/10 split, $20 minimum, half of each request must be new profit. Growth caps withdrawals at 50% of profit above initial capital ($2,500–$4,000 per request, every 4 qualifying days) with a soft daily loss limit. Pro allows 100% (caps $5,000–$8,000, every 5 qualifying days) but a hard daily loss breach terminates the account.
Growth or Pro — which FTMO Futures plan is better?
Growth is cheaper with more forgiving funded rules (soft daily loss, looser consistency in evaluation) but smaller, slower payouts. Pro costs more and terminates you for a hard daily-loss breach, in exchange for bigger drawdown room and full-profit withdrawals.
