What the rules mean in practice
- There are 2 phases. Phase 1 needs $1,000 profit (10%); Phase 2 needs $500 profit (5%). The loss limits apply in every phase.
- On any single day you can lose up to $500 (5%). Check FTMO's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $1,000 (10%). This is static drawdown: the loss limit is fixed at a set distance below your starting balance and never moves.
- At a 80% split, you need about 1.2% return on the funded account to earn back the €89 fee.
- Payouts: first reward can be requested from the 14th day after the first trade on the FTMO Account.
- Swing is an account-type option inside the 2-Step product only; it is not offered for 1-Step or Instant accounts.
- FTMO does not publish a separate Swing price list. Its comparison table lists Standard and Swing under the same 2-Step price (from €89), so the 2-Step fees are shown here; the current €439 offer on the 100K tier is limited to Standard accounts.
- Same trading objectives as the Standard 2-Step, but base leverage is 1:30 instead of 1:100.
- No restrictions on trading around restricted news releases or holding positions through market closures, including weekends.
- A Standard account cannot be switched to Swing after purchase; a Swing account can only be switched to Standard before any trade is placed.
This is our reading of FTMO's published rules. The firm's own terms always take priority. See the full FTMO rules.
