The Premium Programme and the Scaling Plan are two separate and independent programmes. FTMO Traders may participate in both programmes at the same time.
The Premium Programme is available to FTMO Traders who qualify through both the 1-Step FTMO Challenge and the 2-Step FTMO Challenge. The only difference in benefits for FTMO Accounts initiated through the 1-Step FTMO Challenge and the 2-Step FTMO Challenge is how certain benefits apply, depending on the product.
FTMO Traders who qualify through the 1-Step FTMO Challenge start with a 90% simulated Reward Ratio from the beginning, so there is no increase in the Reward Ratio upon entering the Premium Programme.
Apart from product-specific limitations (such as the unavailability of rollover bonuses for the 1-Step FTMO Challenge), the Premium Programme benefits are otherwise identical for FTMO Traders from both challenge types.
Neither programme is available for the FTMO Instant Account product.
