    FTMO Trading Rules Deep Dive

    The fine print that decides whether traders pass or breach. Each rule below uses FTMO's specific values.

    FTMO consistency rule explained

    While not a hard rule, FTMO has a "Best Day" guideline for certain account types where your most profitable day should not exceed 50% of your total profit.

    Worked example: on a $10,000 profit, if the rule caps a single day at 50% of total profit, no day can exceed $5,000 in P&L.

    News trading rules at FTMO

    High-impact economic releases (NFP, FOMC, CPI) are when most prop firms enforce restrictions. At FTMO, news trading is permitted without restrictions.

    For Standard accounts, no trading 2 minutes before and after high-impact news releases.

    FTMO drawdown calculation method

    • Basis: Balance
    • Measurement: Absolute
    • Types offered: Daily, Static

    Worked example: with an absolute balance-based drawdown, the threshold is fixed at the start of the evaluation and does not trail your equity curve as you grow the account.

    Expert Advisor and automation rules at FTMO

    EAs and bots are permitted at FTMO.

    Legitimate automated strategies are permitted, but High Frequency Trading and arbitrage are forbidden.

    • HFT allowed: No
