FTMO needs little introduction in the prop trading world. Founded in the Czech Republic in 2015, it’s often the name traders mention first when the topic of funded accounts comes up, and it has more years of continuous operation behind it than almost any competitor.
Company Overview
FTMO is based in Prague and runs its evaluation and funded-account programs from there. Because it predates most of the current prop firm landscape, its payout process and rule set have effectively been stress-tested by years of real trader activity, which is worth weighing against firms whose terms look better on paper but haven’t been tested at scale over time.
What to Check Before You Buy
As with any prop firm, account sizes, fees, profit splits, and rule details can be adjusted over time, so always confirm the current terms directly on FTMO’s site rather than relying on older reviews (including this one) for exact figures.
