FTMO Futures provides a simulated trading environment built on the NinjaTrader/Tradovate infrastructure, designed to mirror real futures market conditions as closely as possible.
Execution and market data
Trades are executed based on real market quotes and data sourced from the exchanges. However, on the Evaluation account and Sim-Funded Account, the trader only trades in a simulated environment, and their orders do not affect the symbol’s price. As on any platform, you may experience execution delays and slippage, which can be positive or negative.
Commissions
In line with market standards, simulated commissions apply to trades. The applicable commissions are shown on the platform.
Risk enforcement
The platform monitors your risk rules in real time and automatically liquidates positions if a rule is breached. FTMO receives this data to update your progress in the Client Area, which refreshes at the end of each trading day (after 4:10 p.m. ET).
