Our Take

The Propfundsy view on FTMO

FTMO remains the reference point the rest of the industry is measured against. The numbers that matter: a 90% split from day one on the 1-Step, a fully refunded fee on the 2-Step, and a decade-long payout record - $650M+ paid since 2015. The trade-off is discipline: the 1-Step carries an EOD-trailing drawdown and a best-day rule, and Standard accounts face news and weekend restrictions once funded (choose the Swing account type to remove both). In December 2025, FTMO completed its acquisition of OANDA — one of the oldest regulated forex brokers globally — from CVC Capital Partners, making FTMO the parent of a licensed brokerage rather than just a challenge provider. Pricing is mid-market, but you are paying for the firm least likely to change the rules under you.
