Playbook: sign up step by step
- Start from the FTMO official page so you land on the live offer page.
- Pick the evaluation (or instant) program that matches your style — not the cheapest tier by default.
- Select account size and platform; read the on-page loss limits before continuing.
- At checkout, look for a discount field. If you have an unconfirmed string from elsewhere, you may try it — but treat an unchanged total as the real answer.
- Pay only after the fee, targets, and drawdown rules on-screen match what you expect from the tables below.
FTMO fee tables (no discount applied)
Listed evaluation / funding fees from the 17 September 2026 audit. No working promo percentage is applied in these numbers — what you see is the baseline to compare against checkout.
These are FTMO's own listed prices — no promo code applied, since none is confirmed. All prices in USD, one-time evaluation fees.
1-Step
The faster route: one phase, then a funded account.
| Account size | Profit target | Price |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | 10% | $79 |
| $25,000 | 10% | $199 |
| $50,000 | 10% | $319 |
| $100,000 | 10% | $499 |
| $200,000 | 10% | $999 |
2-Step
FTMO's original, most reviewed format: two phases, a lower second-phase target.
| Account size | Phase 1 target | Phase 2 target | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | 10% | 5% | $89 |
| $25,000 | 10% | 5% | $250 |
| $50,000 | 10% | 5% | $345 |
| $100,000 | 10% | 5% | $540 |
| $200,000 | 10% | 5% | $1,080 |
Audit figures — match them on the firm’s site before you pay.
Both formats reach the same place: a funded account up to $200,000, with a scaling plan that can grow allocation to $2,000,000.
Deep dive: FTMO rules that decide the trade
A lower fee is worthless if the drawdown model fights your style. Parameters below are from the same audit date (17 September 2026) — confirm on the plan page before funding the cart.
Price is one input. These are FTMO's published parameters as of 17 September 2026.
- Formats: 1-Step (single phase, no minimum trading days) or 2-Step (two phases, no minimum trading days either — FTMO records 0 minimum days on both).
- Profit target: 10% on phase 1 of either format; the 2-Step's phase 2 target drops to 5%.
- Daily loss limit: 5% · Maximum loss: 10%, measured against balance (not a trailing high-water mark).
- Profit split: 90%, with a scaling plan that increases allocation on consistent funded performance.
- Fee: refundable on qualifying performance.
- Payouts: bi-weekly, first payout recorded as available after 14 days, via bank transfer, crypto, Skrill, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- Trading style: expert advisors, scalping, news trading, weekend holding and hedging are all allowed; copy trading and HFT are not.
- Platforms: MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXTrade.
- Not available to US residents.
About the company. FTMO is a Czech prop firm headquartered in Prague, operating since 2015 under CEO Otakar Suffner. Its review volume — over 40,000 — is the largest of any firm we track, which is itself a reason price alone shouldn't be the only factor in the decision.
If there is no code, how do traders keep costs down?
- Size the account to the fee you can afford to lose twice (failed eval + retry), not to the headline allocation.
- Prefer the program whose loss limits match your average losing day — cheaper tiers with tighter daily limits fail more often.
- Watch the firm’s own site banners; first-party promos sometimes beat anything circulating on coupon blogs.
- Use the signup link in this playbook so you land on the current offer page, then verify fees on-screen before paying.
FTMO playbook FAQ
Is there an active FTMO discount code in 2026?
Direct answer: not one we can confirm as of 17 September 2026. This page will reflect it if that changes.
Why doesn't FTMO run promo codes as often as other prop firms?
We can't speak to their internal strategy, but the pattern across the industry is that firms with FTMO's level of established reputation and review volume tend to discount less aggressively than firms still building market share. Treat any specific code you see elsewhere as unverified until it works at your checkout.
What's the cheapest way to start with FTMO?
From the records: the $10,000 1-Step at $79 is the lowest entry price in our data. The $10,000 2-Step is $89.

Playbook answer: yes, on qualifying performance per FTMO's terms.
Can US traders use FTMO?
