FTMO is a leading firm in the field of modern prop trading<\/a> based in the Czech Republic. It was founded in 2015 under the name Z\u00edskej \u00fa\u010det (Get an Account). Within just a few years, it has become one of the world’s largest companies in its industry and one of the fastest-growing technology companies in the Central European region.<\/em><\/p>\n

The name of the company FTMO consists of the first letters of the names of four people (Filip, Tom\u00e1\u0161, Marek, Otakar) who worked for the company at the time when the company decided to expand beyond the borders of the Czech Republic. Three of them are currently represented by the company’s top management.<\/p>\n

The company offers its customers special trading accounts<\/a> linked to monitoring applications. This allows traders to improve, especially in the area of risk management. To move to the next stage, the customer must go through a series of tests, for which he pays a certain fee, which is returned to him after fulfilling the conditions and with the first payout. Customers who make it to the final collaboration keep up to 90% of the profits made.<\/p>\n

History<\/h2>\n

The company was founded by three students who, based on their own experience with undercapitalization in trading, decided to start a project that would help potential traders with insufficient funds. In addition, the goal was to help potential customers with financial discipline and the psychological side.<\/p>\n

In 2015, FF Trader and the Z\u00edskej\u00fa\u010det.cz project were founded, which operated only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Although the founders did not receive support from their school’s student accelerator and faced countless technical and legal hurdles in the first year, they still managed to get the project off the ground. In 2016, the company received an investment that allowed it to expand its product offering with more capital.<\/p>\n
