The FTMO Challenge is the first phase of the Evaluation Process within the FTMO Challenge: 2-Step product. Before you can access an FTMO Account, we need to verify that you can trade responsibly and manage risk properly. In the future, FTMO may use data from simulated trades performed on the FTMO Account when trading on its own accounts in real financial markets.
The FTMO Challenge phase has clearly defined rules, where the Profit Target is balanced with the allowed drawdown. These rules are referred to as Trading Objectives.
There is no time limit to reach the Profit Target, as the Trading Period is unlimited. Once all Trading Objectives of the FTMO Challenge are met and your results are reviewed, you may proceed to the second phase of the Evaluation Process – the Verification phase. The minimum duration of the FTMO Challenge is 4 trading days.
See the detailed Trading Objectives table.
