Once you become an FTMO Trader, you will trade on an FTMO Account with the same account balance size that you selected when ordering your FTMO Challenge. For example, if you ordered $200,000 FTMO Challenge, your FTMO Account will also start a fictitious balance of $200,000.
To avoid any confusion, please note that all accounts provided by FTMO are demo accounts using fictitious capital. After becoming an FTMO Trader, you will receive login credentials to a FTMO Account. Rewards are paid based on the results generated on the FTMO Account, in accordance with the conditions of the respective product.
There are no account size upgrade options during an active FTMO Account. For this reason, it is important to select the appropriate account size when configuring your FTMO Challenge.
If you wish to trade with a higher account balance, you may apply for an additional FTMO Challenge. Each FTMO Challenge must be traded from the beginning, regardless of whether you have successfully completed one in the past.
If you demonstrate long-term consistency and meet the eligibility criteria, your FTMO Account balance may be increased under the Scaling Plan. A scale-up can only be requested during the Reward withdrawal process, directly in the Client Area. If approved, a scaled-up FTMO Account will be provided for the next trading period.
