FTMO: static 10% drawdown on MT5, cTrader and DXtrade
FTMO's challenge pairs a static maximum loss with a 90% split and roughly next-day payouts. Corrected 14 September 2026: this described the CFD challenge, not FTMO Futures.
Correction, 14 September 2026. This item called the product “FTMO Futures” and gave a “$2.5K” drawdown. Both were wrong. The terms described are FTMO’s CFD challenge, whose maximum loss is 10% of the starting balance with a 5% daily limit. FTMO’s separate futures programme has different rules. FTMO’s platform FAQ now lists MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView; DXtrade is no longer offered. The original text follows.
The detail
FTMO’s official site lists a static $2.5K drawdown, a 90% profit split, payouts in roughly a day, and access via MetaTrader 5, cTrader and DXtrade — the multi-platform, forex-heritage setup that sets FTMO apart from the Rithmic/Tradovate-centric US futures firms.
Why it matters
A static drawdown plus broad platform choice is a trader-friendly combination (drawdown models explained), and FTMO is one of the longer-established names in the space. If you already trade on MT5 or cTrader, that familiarity is worth something — compare it against the futures-native firms and confirm details on FTMO’s official site.
Prop-firm terms change often — always confirm the current details on the firm's official site before you buy.
