Some countries are excluded from Live and stay on Sim-Funded.

Payout eligibility

Pro Sim-Funded payouts need 5 qualifying days of $200+ profit; you can withdraw 100% of profit up to the payout cap, and at least 50% of each request must be new profit since the last one.

Frequently Asked Questions About FTMO

FTMO payouts by plan: Growth: every 4 days, capped at $2,500 (50K) to $4,000 (150K) per payout; and Pro: every 5 days, capped at $5,000 (50K) to $8,000 (150K) per payout. The profit split is 90% on every plan. Payout methods: Wise, Bank Transfer, Revolut, Visa Direct and Mastercard Send.

Every FTMO plan uses end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown. An end-of-day trailing drawdown is recalculated from your closing balance after each session, so the floor does not move up while you trade.

FTMO consistency rule by plan: Growth: 40% during the evaluation, none once funded; and Pro: 50% during the evaluation, none once funded. A consistency rule caps how much of your total profit a single trading day may make up.
