FTMO, one of the largest prop trading firms, has launched FTMO Futures, a dedicated offering for futures traders. At launch, traders can access accounts with up to $150,000 in simulated capital, with the total allocation capped at $450,000.
Czech prop firm FTMO has expanded its proprietary trading model into the futures market. The new FTMO Futures product is currently in beta and follows a structure familiar across the industry: traders complete an Evaluation before becoming eligible for a Sim-Funded Account and real payouts based on their trading performance.
The company offers two program types, Growth and Pro, with account sizes of $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000. The maximum combined simulated capital available to a single trader is $450,000. Both programs use a single-phase Evaluation and offer a 90/10 reward split.
At launch, FTMO provides access to 30 futures instruments, including contracts linked to stock indices, gold, oil, currencies, Bitcoin and Ether. Trading takes place on simulated accounts using CME market data.
FTMO also provides a pathway for some of its most consistent traders to move from simulated accounts to a Live Funded Account backed by real capital. Such a transition is not guaranteed: invitations are made at the company’s discretion based on a trader’s performance and history of approved rewards.
FTMO’s move into futures continues the convergence of two segments of the prop trading industry that previously developed largely separately. Other major firms traditionally focused on Forex and CFDs, including The5ers and FundedNext, have also introduced futures programs.
For FTMO, the new offering also expands its opportunities in the US market. The company recently resumed providing prop trading services to US traders following a pause that began in 2024 amid MetaQuotes restrictions affecting prop firms.
