Additional Rules

2-Step Evaluation: You must complete Phase 1 (Challenge) with a 10% target ($2,500) and Phase 2 (Verification) with a 5% target ($1,250).

Maximum Overall Loss: Set at $2,500 (10%). This is a static drawdown that does not trail your profits, keeping the "floor" at $22,500.

Maximum Daily Loss: Set at $1,250 (5%), reset daily based on the previous day's closing equity/balance.

Minimum Trading Days: Only 4 trading days are required for each phase, allowing you to get funded in as little as 8 days.

No Time Limit: Take as much time as you need to hit the targets; there is no expiration date for the evaluation.

Refundable Fee: The challenge fee (approx. €250) is fully reimbursed with your first profit split after becoming an FTMO Trader.

Account Choice: You can choose between the "Normal" account (1:100 leverage) and the "Swing" account (1:30 leverage, allows news trading and holding over the weekend).

Scaling Plan

The $25,000 FTMO account is a primary candidate for the FTMO Scaling Plan, which increases the account balance by 25% every 4 months.

To qualify, the trader must generate at least 10% net profit over four consecutive monthly cycles (an average of 2.5% per month).

With each successful scaling step, the profit split is automatically upgraded to 90%.

At the first scaling milestone, your $25,000 account would grow to $31,250, increasing your absolute drawdown limits accordingly.
