Special Price FTMO Celebrates 10 Years!
All FAQ What is 'Trading according to a real market?'

What is 'Trading according to a real market?'

Trading must be legitimate and traders must not use practices that go against how a person would trade on actual financial markets. A trading strategy is allowed if it doesn’t interfere with legitimate trading or exploit practices that are intended to cause us any harm or misuse the Evaluation Process and/or FTMO Account in any way and breach the forbidden trading practices.

Please note again that all trading via the FTMO platform (Free Trial, Evaluation process, FTMO Account) is simulated only, with only fictitious capital available. However, we emulate the conditions of a real market and require our clients to apply proper risk management rules in order to provide the desired experience. Because when you trade on a real market (e.g. via a proprietary trading firm), you have to follow the rules.

Please beware of the forbidden trading practices described in detail here.
