FTMO Futures Is Here: Prove Your Edge in the Futures Market

For years, futures traders have been asking us to bring the same standards and reliability they already know from FTMO into the futures market.

We built FTMO Futures to answer that.

Today, FTMO Futures is live, bringing the same legacy of trust, transparent conditions and payout reliability that traders already know from FTMO into the futures market. Same standards. New instruments.

What Is FTMO Futures?

FTMO Futures is our futures trading offer for traders who want to prove their skill on simulated capital and get eligible for real financial rewards, backed by FTMO’s infrastructure and track record.

It follows the same principle we have always worked by: prove you can trade within clear risk rules, and we will back you. In practice, that means two steps.

1. Evaluation. You trade a simulated account against a defined set of objectives, such as your Profit Target, Max Drawdown and Consistency Rule. There are no minimum trading days, just the Consistency Rule, so you can progress at your own pace.

2. Sim-Funded Account. Pass the Evaluation and you move to Sim-Funded Account. There is no Profit Target and no Consistency Rule at this stage. Every successful trade you make from here on counts toward your actual payout.

Why We Built It This Way

Futures traders often deal with objectives, payout caps or conditions that can shift once an account is already active. It is a pain point many experienced futures traders have run into, and it makes trust harder to come by in this space.

We approached FTMO Futures the same way we approached CFD prop trading in 2015: a set of clear Trading Objectives and a payout process that is simply the result of following the rules.

That is the idea behind FTMO Futures: continuity. Rules and objectives for your account are locked in from day one. You are not trading against a moving target.

Two Plans to Choose From: Pro and Growth

FTMO Futures comes in two account types, built for different kinds of traders, both offering the same 90/10 Payout Ratio.

FTMO Futures Growth is built for the everyday trader. It runs on familiar mechanics, with no Daily Loss Limit during the Evaluation and a Soft Daily Loss Limit once on Sim-Funded. You become eligible for a payout after just 4 qualifying days, with payout caps up to $4,000. 

FTMO Futures Pro is built for traders who scale. It offers a Profit Target to drawdown ratio as low as 1:1, possibility to request 100% of your simulated profit with a 90/10 Payout Ratio, and Payout Caps between $5,000 and $8,000 depending on account size.

Account sizes on both plans come in three options: $50K, $100K, and $150K.

Payouts, Explained Plainly

Once you reach the Sim-Funded stage and make a simulated profit, payouts work like this:

• Payout Eligibility: You need 4 qualifying days on Growth, or 5 on Pro, before you can request a payout. Each of these days must meet a minimum daily profit threshold, ranging from $150+ to $300+ on Growth and $200+ to $500+ on Pro, depending on your account size.
• Withdrawable Amount: When eligible, you can request to withdraw up to 50% of your simulated profit on the Growth plan. On the Pro plan, you can request to withdraw up to 100% of your profit.
• New Profit Requirement: At least 50% of the amount you request must come from profit made since your last payout (new profit); the remaining 50% can come from profit you already had.
• Payout Ratio: You keep 90% on Growth or 100% on a Pro Sim-Funded Account of the simulated profits from your withdrawable amount.
• Payout Caps: Your payouts are capped per request based on your account type and account size. On Growth, caps range from $2,500 to $4,000 per request. On Pro, caps range from $5,000 to $8,000 per request.

What Actually Makes FTMO Futures Different

• Room to breathe. A Profit Target to drawdown ratio as low as 1:1 on a Pro.
• Keep most of what you make. A 90/10 payout ratio, up to 100% withdrawal eligibility on Pro, and payout caps that sit above the market average.
• No intraday trailing and no activation fee. Fewer mechanics working against you while you trade.
• No Consistency Rule on Sim-Funded Accounts. One outlier trade will not cost you your payout eligibility.
• Continuity you can rely on. Rules and objectives do not change retrospectively for active accounts. You are never trading a moving target.
• FTMO’s reliability, applied to futures. The same payout reputation, infrastructure quality and support standards our traders already know.
