With FTMO Futures, you can access a simulated trading environment and trade futures contracts (including Micro and Mini contracts) on instruments from the major CME Group exchanges. The full list of available instruments is published in this FAQ and shown on your trading platform.
Your trading style is up to you. As long as your trading is legitimate and in line with proper risk management, conforms to the real market conditions, and does not constitute Forbidden Trading Practices, we have no reasons for limiting or restricting your trading strategy, whether it’s discretionary trading, algorithmic trading or EAs. When trading, keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to generate the same results as on your Evaluation or Sim-Funded Account. We do not require you to use a Stop-loss, although it’s generally advisable to always have certain safety measures in place. You can trade all the instruments and assets that are available in your trading platform. You can also view the available instruments via the attached link.
If you intend to use trading robots (Expert Advisors – EAs), keep in mind that if you use a third-party EA, other traders may already be using the same EA and therefore the same strategy. By using a third-party EA, you risk being denied the Sim-Funded Account, since no copy trading across registrations is allowed and FTMO requires you to use a unique strategy. Also, please keep in mind that the platform’s servers have an API limit on the number of orders per predefined time period.
Please beware of practices that have nothing in common with serious trading. If we identify such practice, we reserve our right to take the necessary action to mitigate risk. This might vary from removing the conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, or terminating the account completely and ceasing our cooperation altogether. You may refer to the Forbidden Trading Practices page for more information on what constitutes Forbidden Trading Practices. Please use our services with genuine intentions and show us your edge in the markets and consistency that you can be proud of.
