Expert Review
FTMO pioneered the modern prop trading model in 2015 and maintains the highest Trustpilot rating in the industry at 4.8/5 with 39,000+ reviews. Its reputation for reliability and transparency has made it the benchmark against which all other prop firms are measured.
The 2-Step challenge offers 10%/5% targets with a free retry when risk limits are respected — a unique safety net. The full fee refund with the first profit split and scaling to $2M through Prime and Supreme status tiers demonstrate FTMO's trader-first approach.
At €155 minimum, FTMO is pricier than budget alternatives like FundedNext. The 90% maximum profit split (vs 95% at competitors), 2-minute news restriction on Standard accounts, and the non-refundable 1-Step fee are limitations. FTMO remains the gold standard for traders prioritizing trust and track record over lowest cost.
