Hidden rules 23

Read clause by clause from the firm's legal documents. Grouped by what happens if you break the rule. Tap a rule to see the exact quote and clause.

Account breach 10

No trades when major scheduled news, macro events or earnings could affect the market you are trading (called 'gap trading'). ⚑ flagged
“perform gap trading ... by opening simulated trades: when major global news, macroeconomic events, or corporate reports or earnings are scheduled and they might affect the relevant financial market”

Clause Forbidden Trading Practices, bullet 5(a) · banned strategies · applies to: Challenge, Verification and FTMO Account · source ↗

⚑ AMBIGUOUS: there's no time window (e.g. minutes before or after) and no definition of 'major'. This page also conflicts with FTMO's marketing that news trading is allowed on standard accounts. Ask FTMO.

No new trades two hours or less before a market closes for at least two hours, which in practice means Friday before the weekend. ⚑ flagged
“two hours or less before a relevant financial market is closed for at least two hours”

Clause Forbidden Trading Practices, bullet 5(b) · banned strategies · applies to: Challenge, Verification and FTMO Account · source ↗

⚑ Applies to opening trades. Daily rollover breaks under two hours seem not to count, but this isn't stated.

No opposite positions across different accounts, whether your own, someone else's or at another prop firm. Hedging inside one single account is allowed.
“simultaneously entering into opposite positions (with the exception of entering into such positions on a single simulated account)”

Clause Forbidden Trading Practices, bullet 2 · banned strategies · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

EAs must not make more than 2,000 server requests a day (opens, modifies and closes).
“an excessive number of more than 2,000 server requests per day”

Clause Forbidden Trading Practices, bullet 7 · banned strategies · applies to: All EA users · source ↗

Overleveraging, overexposure, one-sided bets and 'account rolling' are banned as gambling-like behaviour. ⚑ flagged
“otherwise perform simulated trades that contradict how trading is actually performed in the financial markets, or in a way that we reasonably consider might cause us financial, reputational, or other harm as a result of your activities (e.g., overleveraging, overexposure, one-sided bets, account rolling).”

Clause Forbidden Trading Practices, bullet 6; 7.4 · consistency gambling · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

⚑ AMBIGUOUS: none of these terms is defined.

Only you may trade your account: no account managers, passers, shared logins or trading for others.
“allow access to Simulated Trading on any of your FTMO Challenge Accounts ... by any third party”

Clause 7.2.1-7.2.2; 4.3 · copy trading account sharing · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

A breach on one account can terminate all your accounts, including linked accounts of 'related customers'. ⚑ flagged
“we are entitled to cancel all Services and terminate all Agreements relating to all FTMO Challenge Accounts you have”

Clause 7.8 · deny void change rules · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

⚑ AMBIGUOUS: 'related customers' is not defined.

A challenge account can be closed if you open no trade for 30 days, or sit at an 8-10% loss for over 30 days.

Clause 13.2.3 · inactivity · applies to: Challenge/Verification · source ↗

Residents of restricted countries, sanctioned persons and people with a financial-crime record are ineligible, and KYC must pass. ⚑ flagged

Clause 4.2; 13.2.1(c) · ip vpn device · applies to: All customers · source ↗

⚑ There is no explicit IP/VPN clause in the public GTC.

Profit voided 5

No hedging or splitting one trade idea across days to dodge the Best Day or Consistency rule.
“use trading strategies that artificially distribute profit across multiple days without proportionally distributing market risk, such as hedging ... in order to circumvent the Best Day Rule or the Consistency rule”

Clause Forbidden Trading Practices, bullet 8 · consistency gambling · applies to: Accounts with a Best Day or Consistency rule · source ↗

Don't exploit price errors, delayed or slow feeds, or use ultra-high-speed or AI tools that give an unfair edge (latency arbitrage, HFT). ⚑ flagged
“exploit errors in our Services, such as errors in the display of prices or delays in their updates”

Clause Forbidden Trading Practices, bullets 1 and 4 · banned strategies · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

⚑ 'Knowingly or unknowingly' means even accidental exploitation counts.

Don't suddenly use much bigger lots or many more positions than your usual pattern, on any of your accounts. ⚑ flagged
“opening substantially larger position sizes compared to your other simulated trades, on any of your accounts”

Clause 7.5.1-7.5.2 · lot position caps · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

⚑ AMBIGUOUS: 'substantially' is not quantified. There is no fixed max lot, so it's FTMO's discretion.

“exceeding USD 400,000 ... as the maximum total sum of the Initial Simulated Capital”

Clause 6.3 · lot position caps · applies to: Moving to the FTMO Account · source ↗

Passing the challenge doesn't guarantee a funded account, which is a separate company and contract.
“Successfully completing the Evaluation Process does not guarantee your acceptance into the FTMO Trader Program”

Clause 6.1 · deny void change rules · applies to: After passing · source ↗

Info 5

FTMO decides at its own discretion what counts as a forbidden practice, and can update the list at any time.
“We reserve the right to determine, at our own discretion, whether certain simulated trades ... fall within a Forbidden Trading Practice. We may update the list”

Clause 7.3 · deny void change rules · applies to: All accounts · source ↗

“Your continued use of the Services will constitute acceptance of the Modification”

Clause 15.1 · deny void change rules · applies to: All customers · source ↗

If you don't start a purchased challenge within 30 days, access is suspended. Not renewing within 6 months loses the fee.
