FTMO Reviews

FTMO is the best prop firm in the market. Their support are very reactive and helpful, I have never seen something like that in the industry. The dashboard is very user friendly. Overall they are perfect. When quality meet transparence and professionalism it create the best combination. I recommend it.

Good experience in FTMO, I'm really gratefull with the support and assistance, it's really effective. In funded account they have performance coaching included in your account, I had a videocall with a coach and it was really helpfull. They really care about the traders.

I started my trading career in 2022, and from the very beginning FTMO was, for me, an example of a reliable prop firm. Compared to many questionable companies in the market, FTMO always seemed to me to be one of the most serious, stable, and professional firms. For a long time, I had a genuinely positive opinion of them and considered them a company with a strong reputation, clear rules, and a transparent approach to traders. That is why, after several years of learning, practicing, and gaining experience, I created an account with FTMO at the end of 2025. After some time, I became an FTMO funded trader and received a payout. This strengthened my trust in the company even more, because at that moment everything looked fair and professional. Later, I started going through the evaluation stages again. On April 27, 2026, I successfully completed the second Verification phase and was supposed to receive a $100,000 funded account. But instead, I received an email saying that my account had been permanently blocked and that FTMO had completely terminated its cooperation with me. FTMO stated the reason as “one-sided betting.” In my opinion, this is a completely unjustified and absurd explanation. My trading is based on positions with a high risk-to-reward ratio — on average from 5R to 10R. I passed both evaluation stages with either one or two positions, and the trades were in different directions. I did not gradually increase the volume of the same position, I did not use excessive risk, and as far as I remember, my risk was approximately 1–2% of the account balance per day. My drawdown during the entire period did not even reach 2-4% on the account. At the same time, FTMO did not provide me with a clear and specific explanation of which exact trades they considered a violation and why my trading was classified as “one-sided betting.” For me, this situation completely changed my attitude toward FTMO. I used to consider them one of the most reliable prop firms in the market and trusted their reputation for a long time. But after this decision, that trust was completely destroyed. I consider this decision unfair and unjustified. My experience shows that even after successfully passing all stages of the evaluation, receiving a previous payout, and following reasonable risk management, a trader is still not protected from a sudden permanent ban without a transparent review of the situation.

I'm pretty happy that I found a firm like FTMO... They pay... they don't make any excuses... nothing bad to say about them! Only the slippage is kind of annoying because sometimes on news i have e. g. my SL on 1% risk and it executes on 3% loss.

My personal experience with FTMO was tough, because it was my first evaluation in CFDs... and I blew it. I went in motivated, confident, thinking I was going to pass without a problem. But when you're in a real evaluation, the pressure is different. It's not the same as demo or anything like that. I made several mistakes that I didn't see clearly in the moment: I over-traded, I increased the risk more than I should have, and in some trades I let emotions decide for me. Basically, I didn't respect my risk management or my plan 100%. The drawdown ate away at me little by little, until I ended up violating the account. In the moment it was frustrating, because you feel like you lost time and money. But after analyzing it well, I realized it was a necessary lesson. It taught me that trading isn't just about knowing how to enter the market, but knowing how to control yourself. That experience made me understand that to pass an evaluation it's not enough to know how to trade, you need to have discipline, emotional control, and respect the rules no matter what. I blew it, yes... but it was also the point where I started to take this more seriously.

The company is good, but the slippage and spread are deadly in this field. You have $200 left, and the daily minimum loss is between 30 and 50 pips. If you've calculated this, it will go the opposite way, and you'll lose your account in an unreasonable way.

I have traded with FTMO since 2010. I have no complaints, no hidden rules. No payment denial, unlike some scammer propfirms like FUNDEDNEXT and 5ers. No one urged me to do this review, but I believe it is necessary to do so because it's not only when we have a wrong experience that we come and do review. FTMO pays me each biweekly when I make profits. No concerns at all.

It is a very punctual, efficient, serious and influential company, characterized by its technology and opportunities for beginner traders. I recommend it.

Excellent company, very clear rules, and a strong presence in the market that makes this firm very trustworthy. I’m truly very satisfied with the company’s performance with its clients, and their customer support is wonderful!

Technical support is very fast; they respond in seconds. At most, you'll get a response in two minutes. The platform is user-friendly and intuitive. Challenge prices aren't the lowest due to their strong reputation.
