Trading Update Notice

As of today, 28 July 2026, we are issuing an additional trading update due to recent modifications to our Terms and Conditions. Please refer to the details provided below for further information.

The regular trading update will be published on Thursday, 30 July 2026, as scheduled.

Update on Terms & Conditions

Your Terms & Conditions and FTMO Account Agreement are being updated. The effective date depends on your product stage and is specified in your applicable agreement.

As part of these updates, we’re introducing a 0.7% currency conversion adjustment to better reflect the conditions of live financial markets. This adjustment applies to the realised profit or loss of trades where the Profit Currency (MT4/MT5) or Quote Asset (cTrader) differs from your Account Currency.

The adjustment is applied when a position is closed, and the profit or loss is realised, regardless of when the trade was opened. On a profit, the adjustment reduces it; on a loss, the adjustment is added to it. Trades where no currency conversion is required are not affected.

How do I know if my trade is affected?

You can check the instrument’s Profit Currency (MT4/MT5) or Quote Asset (cTrader) in the symbol specifications on your platform. If it differs from your Account Currency, the adjustment will apply when the trade is closed.

Examples

FX Example
Account Currency: EUR
Instrument: GBP/USD (Profit Currency: USD)
Since the Profit Currency (USD) differs from the Account Currency (EUR), the 0.7% conversion adjustment applies when the trade closes.

Index Example
Account Currency: USD
Instrument: GER40.cash (Profit Currency: EUR)
Since the Profit Currency (EUR) differs from the Account Currency (USD), the 0.7% conversion adjustment applies when the trade closes.

No Adjustment Example
Account Currency: USD
Instrument: US100.cash (Profit Currency: USD)
The Profit Currency matches the Account Currency, so no adjustment applies.

Your closed-trade result is shown to you already adjusted, so there’s nothing you need to do on your end.

Overnight rollover swaps are subject to regular changes and adjustments, reflecting, among other things, interest rate differentials and dividend adjustments. If you are holding positions overnight, please be reminded that it is your responsibility to check these swaps in the contract specification for each symbol, and to adjust (if needed) and manage your positions accordingly. FTMO is not responsible for trading results affected by swap changes or adjustments.

The situation in Ukraine – geopolitical development, sanctions, and markets

Due to the war in Ukraine, traders can experience increased uncertainty in the markets, accompanied by increased volatility on many assets, along with the possibility of price spikes, whipsaws, flash crashes, spread widening and liquidity supply issues. Traders are advised to pay extra caution while trading during these times. Risk management and capital preservation should be the key focus of every trader, just as being aware and adaptive to the market conditions that might be unpredictable or risky.

Unfortunately, at this time, we are not allowed to process payments to regions of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine and our clients from there, as per the latest sanctions imposed in connection with the war in Ukraine. There are also sanctions targeting some Russian banks and high-profile individuals. We are not allowed to process any payouts to clients and banks on the sanction list. Payouts to our clients from/in the subject locations, or being subject to the sanctions list, will be possible once the imposed sanctions are lifted. Crypto payouts are included in the restrictions.
