What is FTMO ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FTMO<\/strong> is a company categorized as a prop firm<\/strong>, an increasingly popular trend. Prop firms are comparable to investment brokers<\/strong> that offer investors the opportunity to trade with their capital.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Typically, traditional brokers act as intermediaries between financial asset markets<\/strong> and investors. The investor registers on the platform, which then sells them contracts allowing the trader to open positions<\/strong> on financial asset prices (such as Forex<\/a>, for example). The trader then trades with their own capital<\/strong>, and all risks are assumed by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform is available via its website and mobile app (Android and iOS) in 18 languages including English<\/strong>, with customer support available via WhatsApp, Live Chat, email, and phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a prop firm ?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A prop firm operates differently from traditional trading brokers<\/strong>. It recruits traders through a challenge they must pass. Then, the company provides them with capital that belongs to the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trader trades this capital across various markets and collects a portion of the profits<\/strong> they generate. Some prop firms, like SabioTrade<\/a>, OneFunded<\/a> or FTMO, offer trading across multiple markets, while others specialize in a single market, like Breakout<\/strong> and cryptocurrencies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter offers a wider range<\/strong> of cryptocurrencies than all multi-market prop firms. Breakout features more than one hundred<\/strong> different assets, but it’s particularly notable as the first<\/strong> company of its kind to provide direct access to the liquidity of centralized exchanges<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of FTMO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FTMO is a company registered in the Czech Republic<\/strong> and launched in 2014 by two young day traders. Their team is young, dynamic, and the company operates from modern, spacious offices located in Prague. The platform positions itself as one of the best prop firms in the market<\/strong> due to its reliability and positive user feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FTMO made headlines in 2022 when it was placed on the AMF blacklist<\/strong>. This list includes financial market and investment players that are not recommended according to the regulatory body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numerous misunderstandings followed this blacklisting, as it was completely unexplained<\/strong>. The prop firm was finally removed from the list a few weeks later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to become a trader on FTMO ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The operation of all prop firms is similar : anyone can try their luck<\/strong> to become part of the company’s traders by passing a test or challenge. To take the test, the trader pays a fee<\/strong> that allows them to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the terms established by the company, the test lasts for a certain period. If the trader achieves good results, the prop firm selects them for its trading program. If not, they cannot access the allocated funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If selected and they become a trader, their account is credited with capital they can trade while receiving a portion of the profits<\/strong> they generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In FTMO’s case, there are 3 tests to pass to become a trader on their platform :<\/p>\n\n\n

    The price of the FTMO challenge depends on the capital you want to have available for trading. The minimum amount is \u20ac155 for $10,000 capital with normal risk. The platform provides up to $200,000<\/strong> on an FTMO account!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    The FTMO challenge now has no time limit<\/strong>, offering traders the opportunity to progress at their own pace. However, it remains mandatory to trade for at least 4 minimum days<\/strong>, actually opening and closing positions to validate each phase of the evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
