Refund

The 2-Step fee is refunded 100% with your first reward once you are funded. The 1-Step and Instant fees are one-time and non-refundable.

Funded Rules

Profit Split

2-Step — 80%, rising to 90% through the scaling plan.
1-Step & Instant — 90% from the first payout.

News & Weekend Holding

During evaluations you can trade news and hold over the weekend. On funded accounts, no trades or order changes are allowed from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after high-impact news on the affected instrument, and positions can’t be held over the weekend. Crypto can be traded on weekends on every account.

Drawdown After Payouts

1-Step — the EOD trailing drawdown resets after every withdrawal.
Instant — the trailing max loss does not lock or reset. A payout lowers your balance but not the limit, so keep a buffer.

EAs & Copy Trading

EAs are allowed up to 2,000 server requests per day. You may copy trades between your own accounts within the $400,000 total allocation cap, but copying other traders or letting someone else trade your account is not allowed.

Risk Guidance

FTMO recommends risking no more than 1–1.5% of the starting balance per trade. Over-leveraging, one-sided bets and account rolling are treated as forbidden practices.

Inactivity

Place at least 1 trade every 30 days, or freeze the account for 7 days to 6 months.

Payout Rules

Payout Cycle

Rewards are paid every 14 days across all programs, counted from your first trading day on the funded account.

Payout Methods

Bank transfer & crypto — no upper limit.
Visa Direct / Mastercard Send — up to $20,000 per payout.
Skrill — up to $3,000 per payout.

Minimum Withdrawal

$20 by bank wire and $50 in crypto.

Scaling Plan

Every 4-month cycle with at least 10% net profit and 2 rewards processed, your account grows by 25%, up to a $2M cap. On the 2-Step, scaling also raises your split to 90%.
