FTMO Enters Futures
FTMO built its name in forex prop trading, and it has now expanded into futures with FTMO Futures, launched in beta.

How FTMO Futures Works
FTMO Futures follows a three-stage path:
- Evaluation: trade in a simulated environment with live CME market data and hit the trading objectives (profit target, daily loss limit, max drawdown).
- FTMO Sim-Funded Account: once you pass, you trade a sim-funded account and earn payouts, with payouts landing roughly every 4 to 5 days.
- FTMO Live Account: only the top performers are considered for a live account.
