FTMO lists 21 account sizes across five programs; we review 21 of them in detail so far. Each figure applies to the exact account shown, not to the whole firm.

We cover 21 FTMO accounts: 15 for CFD/FX trading (2-Step, 1-Step and Instant, five sizes each) and six for futures (Growth and Pro, three sizes each). The Instant Account is bought without an evaluation, so its rules apply to the funded account alone. Each program has its own rules, so a figure for one is never assumed for another.

On CFD/FX, the 2-Step Standard $100,000 account costs List price €540, offer €439 one-time (temporary offer, conditions apply), sets profit targets of 10% then 5% across its two evaluation phases, and has an opening loss allowance of $10,000.

On futures, the Growth $50,000 account costs $119 per month, sets a single profit target of 6%, and has an opening loss allowance of $2,000.

Official sources: FTMO · FAQ: Where is your office? (checked 1 October 2026); FTMO · Challenges and pricing (checked 1 October 2026).

Official source: FTMO · Contact (checked 3 October 2026).

Trustpilot score

Trustpilot score: 4.8 out of 554,911 reviews, 24,618 in the last 12 months; 92% five-star and 3% one-star. FTMO has not replied to negative reviews. Profile claimed by FTMO since November 2019. Trustpilot's score, not ours; read on 21 October 2026.

What reviewers say. Overwhelmingly positive. Reviewers praise smooth, speedy payouts, clear platform rules, and a patient, genuinely helpful support team. Complaints mention impersonal or templated replies that miss specific concerns, and strict verification steps plus unexpected account hurdles that cause frustrating delays. Our summary of Trustpilot's AI summary of 19,518 recent reviews.

Conditions and limits. Trustpilot shows that FTMO invites its customers to review and has a paid Trustpilot subscription.

Source: Trustpilot · FTMO reviews (checked 21 October 2026).

About this fact. Trustpilot's own TrustScore for the firm, out of 5, with its review count and the date we read it. It is Trustpilot's figure, not ours, and we never use it to rank or rate firms. Reviews come from people who choose to post them, firms can invite customers to review, and Trustpilot says it does not fact-check reviews. When Trustpilot shows an alert on the firm's profile, we show it with the score, word for word, with Trustpilot's name for its type. When Trustpilot shows no score for the firm, we say so and quote what it shows instead, with any alert, and show none of the review figures. A score says nothing about any one account's rules or payouts.
