FTMO Futures is the futures arm of FTMO, one of the most recognized names in prop trading — founded in 2015 in Prague by Otakar Šuffner and Marek Vašíček, originally as a Forex/CFD evaluation firm before extending into futures. FTMO Futures runs two evaluation tracks — Growth and Pro — both as monthly subscriptions rather than one-time fees, with a 90/10 profit split on Sim-Funded accounts.

- Growth and Pro trade off risk tolerance against withdrawal rights. Growth has no Daily Loss Limit during the evaluation and a soft (recoverable) DLL once funded, but caps you at withdrawing only 50% of profit above starting capital. Pro applies a hard Daily Loss Limit at every stage, but unlocks 100% withdrawable profit and a higher payout cap.
- Both are monthly subscriptions, not one-time fees. Billing continues even after a breach — you have to cancel it yourself, and a separate reset fee applies if you want to retry.
- The trading day isn't midnight-to-midnight. It runs 6:00 PM to 4:10 PM ET — worth checking against your usual session times.
- Consistency only matters during the evaluation. Growth requires 40%, Pro requires 50% — but once you're Sim-Funded, there's no consistency rule or profit target left to track, just Qualifying Days and new profit for payouts.
- Contract size grows with your Sim-Funded balance. Both tracks scale your max position size up in tiers as your profit increases — check the individual plan pages for the exact scaling table at your size.
Growth vs. Pro: Which One Fits You?
| If you want... | Pick | Why |
|---|
| A more forgiving evaluation and funded stage, and don't mind withdrawing only half your profit above capital | Growth | No DLL during the evaluation, soft DLL once funded (auto-close and resume next day, not a fail), 40% consistency, 4 Qualifying Days at a lower threshold. |
| Full withdrawal rights and a higher payout cap, and you're confident managing a stricter risk limit | Pro | Hard DLL at every stage (breach ends the account immediately), 50% consistency, 5 Qualifying Days at a higher threshold, but 100% of profit above capital is withdrawable. |
