CFDs & futures · Different routes, different rules
FTMO
Considering FTMO? Start with the route, not the account size.
One evaluation, two evaluations, or no evaluation? FTMO’s CFD routes have different loss and consistency rules. Its Futures programmes are a separate choice. Start with the market you trade, then check what changes after you qualify.
A shorter route does not automatically make a programme easier. On CFDs, 2-Step has a static overall loss limit; 1-Step uses an end-of-day trailing calculation. Futures Growth and Pro use dollar limits and subscriptions. Keep the market, account stage and exact configuration together when comparing.

Who this may suit
For futures traders comparing lower entry costs and a stricter 40% consistency condition.
Worth knowing before you pay
Growth adds a soft daily limit in Sim-Funded. A soft limit can stop trading for the session even when it does not close the account.
Evaluation parameters differ from Sim-Funded. See the size-specific fees and loss allowances below. Positions must respect the daily session close; this is not a weekend-holding route.

Who this may suit
For futures traders comparing more drawdown room against higher fees and a hard daily limit.
Worth knowing before you pay
Pro keeps a hard daily limit. More overall drawdown room does not override that daily rule.
Evaluation parameters differ from Sim-Funded. See the size-specific fees and loss allowances below. Positions must respect the daily session close; this is not a weekend-holding route.
Summary only. Read the full plan rules before purchasing.
FTMO describes these services as simulated trading. An account size is not cash deposited into your own brokerage account.
What should I check before paying?+
Confirm your country is eligible, the exact account variant, allowed trading practices, the current fee and the reward conditions. Never assume that a summary covers every contract term.
Does passing automatically mean a payout?+
Passing an evaluation and qualifying for a reward are different steps. Read the current agreement and payout requirements for your specific route.
Is there a way to practise before paying?+
FTMO offers a CFD Free Trial. Use it to understand the environment; passing a trial is not a paid evaluation pass or reward approval.
Can I hold through the weekend?+
For CFDs, investigate 2-Step Swing and check its leverage and terms. Standard account restrictions can differ from evaluation. Futures routes require a daily close. Confirm Instant separately.
