FTMO is one of the most established prop firms: since 2015 it has paid out more than $650M in rewards to more than 4.5M customers across 140+ countries. Its futures program runs entirely on simulated accounts with live CME market data.
Futures contracts on CME Group markets — indices, energy, metals, rates and more (full list in the client area).
Futures run on NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView; server-side order handling and Depth of Market built in.
Billed monthly per evaluation — no one-time activation fee. Cards and other online methods at checkout.
Payout requests are made from the Client Area; confirming the request closes open positions, then the platform pays 90% of the approved amount.
FTMO Futures offers two evaluation plans — Growth (softer rules, cheaper) and Pro (full withdrawals, higher payout caps) — each in 50K, 100K and 150K sizes. There is no time limit on the evaluation.

Monthly subscription — no activation fee. Profit target: $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000 (target balance $53K / $106K / $159K). Max drawdown (EOD trailing): $2,000 / $3,500 / $5,000. Daily loss limit on Evaluation: none. On the Sim-Funded account the daily loss becomes soft — equity hitting the level auto-closes positions and suspends trading for the day (no termination).
Payout: 4 qualifying days (≥ $150 / $250 / $300 EOD profit), every 4 days, cap $2,500–$4,000. Withdrawable: 50% of profit above initial capital.

Monthly subscription — no activation fee. Profit target identical to Growth ($3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000). Max drawdown (EOD trailing): $3,000 / $4,500 / $6,000 — target-to-drawdown as low as 1:1. Daily loss limit on Evaluation (HARD): $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000 — breach fails the Evaluation. On the Sim-Funded account the daily loss stays HARD at $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000 — breach immediately and permanently terminates the account.
Payout: 5 qualifying days (≥ $200 / $300 / $500 EOD profit), every 5 days, cap $5,000–$8,000. Withdrawable: 100% of profit above initial capital. Caution: requesting a full withdrawal could violate Maximum Drawdown.
A flat 90/10 split on funded (Sim-Funded) accounts — you keep 90% of every approved payout. Cadence differs by plan and size.
Meet the payout conditions — 4 (Growth) or 5 (Pro) qualifying days above the minimum daily profit, on the Sim-Funded account.
Request a payout in the Client Area. Confirming the request closes all open positions and pending orders.
Review the calculator — it shows the available amount, capped by the plan (Growth $2,500–$4,000, Pro $5,000–$8,000).
Keep 90% — the approved amount is paid out at the 90/10 ratio. Minimum payout is $20.
Payout policies are FTMO's own; traders are paid from the firm. Simulated accounts use fictitious funds. Always verify current rules on the FTMO site.

What can get you flagged or terminated on an FTMO Futures evaluation or Sim-Funded account.
No strategy intended to exploit, game or undermine the services — including price display errors, delayed price updates, external/slow data feeds, or anything unique to the simulated environment that would not exist in a live futures market.
Trades designed to eliminate or reduce directional market risk across FTMO accounts (or related providers) are prohibited. Simultaneous opposite positions are only allowed on a single account.
No replicating or following third-party decisions via signal services, master accounts, trade copiers, or any manual/automated setup where decisions originate from someone other than you — paid or free. Copying across your own accounts is permitted if each complies.
Automated trading is allowed, but high-frequency trading and latency arbitrage are banned, along with any software/AI that abuses the platform. You are fully responsible for everything your automated systems generate.
You must not open new positions in any contract when price is within 2% of the CME-defined daily price limit (limits recalculated daily from the prior settlement price).
You must not hold open positions or resting orders past the end of the trading day (6:00 p.m. ET → 4:10 p.m. ET next day). The platform auto-liquidates/cancels them.
No overleveraging, one-sided bets, account rolling, or any pattern not reasonably replicable with real capital under real conditions. Inconsistent position sizing and evaluation/funded mismatches are flagged.
All trading must comply with CME Group rules — spoofing, layering and wash trading are strictly prohibited. Violations may remove trades, terminate the account, forfeit rewards, or bar you from the programme.
News trading is allowed on FTMO Futures accounts. However, "news-event concentration" — concentrating activity around scheduled economic events in a pattern inconsistent with your overall trading — is named as a risk standard to avoid.
How many accounts, fees, resets, and business setup.
Unlimited simultaneous Evaluations (each on its own monthly subscription). Up to 3 Sim-Funded Accounts shared across Growth and Pro — no maximum total capital, but holding extra accounts via multiple registrations is not permitted.
No activation fee. Monthly subscription per evaluation. If you breach, a new account is provided on the next billing date. Evaluation reset fee: $109 (restart sooner without buying a new account).
Available to natural persons worldwide (some exceptions); no specific qualifications required — beginners welcome. Existing self-employed / legal-entity FTMO registrants must contact support@ftmo.com.
Sim-Funded Accounts with no trading activity for 30 consecutive calendar days are closed. Live Funded Accounts have no inactivity rule.
