Trading Rules
Hidden Rules & Fine Print
Rules and fees that are not prominently advertised. We dig into the fine print so you don't have to.
On 1-Step FTMO Challenge, your most profitable day cannot exceed 50% of your total Positive Days' Profit. This doesn't breach your account but you must trade until the ratio drops below 50%.
The 1-Step FTMO Challenge has a stricter 3% daily loss limit (vs 5% for 2-Step). The daily loss recalculates based on previous day's closing balance.
The 1-Step Max Loss limit trails your highest end-of-day balance upward (but never downward). This makes it a semi-trailing drawdown, stricter than the fixed 2-Step drawdown.
1-Step Challenge allows news trading freely. On the FTMO Account (funded), Standard accounts cannot trade during news. Swing accounts have no restrictions.
FTMO accounts are simulated (demo) accounts. You never trade with real capital β profits are paid from FTMO's revenue, not from actual market trades.
Accounts inactive for 30+ days may be terminated without refund.
