About FTMO
FTMO is the most-cited name in proprietary trading, headquartered in Prague and operating since 2015. Its classic Challenge requires a 10% profit target with a 5% daily and 10% max drawdown, followed by a Verification phase at a 5% target under identical risk rules. Funded accounts start at 80% profit split and scale to 90% after four consecutive profitable payout cycles. FTMO also owns the regulated broker OANDA and publishes quarterly trader statistics for transparency.
