Although FTMO Traders trade with simulated capital only, they are entitled to receive a Reward in the form of real money once they generate a profit on their demo FTMO Account, provided all Trading Objectives are fulfilled and FTMO Account Agreement followed.
You can request a Reward claim in the Account MetriX on the 14th or any following day after the first placed trade on the specific account. All open positions and pending orders must be closed.
After you submit the withdrawal request, we will review your account and notify you within 1–2 business days.
Once we approve your Reward, you can submit all necessary information for the withdrawal in the FTMO Traders section. Following this process, the Reward is typically sent within 1–2 business days after the invoice is approved.
Withdrawal Methods and Limits
Rewards can be paid out via bank wire transfer, instant transfer through Visa Direct / Mastercard Send (up to $20,000), Skrill (up to $3,000), or cryptocurrencies. FTMO does not charge any additional commissions for Reward withdrawals. Note that due to transaction fees, there is a minimum closed profit requirement of at least $20 for bank wire withdrawals and $50 for cryptocurrency withdrawals, to cover the cost of the transaction.
Reward Ratios and Account Growth
- FTMO Challenge: 1-Step: You receive 90% of the profit. Rewards cannot be left on the account to grow the balance.
- FTMO Challenge: 2-Step: You receive 80% of the profit (increases to 90% if Scaling Plan or Premium Programme conditions are met). You also have the option to keep the Reward on your account (rollover) to build a larger balance and drawdown buffer. The minimum rollover amount is €20, $20, £20, 20 AUD, 20 CAD, 20 CHF, or 500 CZK.
