Our flagship since 2015 and the industry standard. A two-phase Evaluation Process designed to strengthen your discipline.
The FTMO Challenge is the first phase. It’s a test of your trading skills with clear, structured rules. Your goal is to show consistent and responsible trading.
Verification is a second phase. You’ll follow the same rules as before, but with a lower Profit Target. This phase is designed to verify consistency.
After successfully completing the Identity Verification and consenting to the FTMO Account Agreement, you become an FTMO Trader with FTMO Account (2-Step).
