    Automated trading conditions
    You can access a simulated trading environment and trade asset classes. The full list of available instruments is published on our Symbols page and shown on your trading platform. Your trading style is up to you. As long as your trading is legitimate and in line with proper risk management, conforms to the real market conditions, and does not constitute Forbidden Trading Practices, we have no reason for limiting or restricting your trading strategy, whether it’s discretionary trading, algorithmic trading or EAs. When trading, keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to generate the same results as on your FTMO Challenge, FTMO Account or FTMO Instant Account. We do not require you to use a Stop-loss (although it’s generally advisable to always have certain safety measures in place). You can trade all the instruments and assets that are available in your trading platform (Forex, Indices, Commodities, Stocks, Crypto,…). If you intend to use trading robots (Expert Advisors – EAs), keep in mind that if you use an EA from a third party, there might be other traders already using the same EA and therefore exactly the same strategy. By using a third-party EA, you potentially run a risk of being denied the FTMO Account if you exceed the maximum capital allocation rule. Please note that platform servers have a limit of 200 orders at a time and 2000 max positions per day, as well as limited acceptance of server messages (orders and order modifications such as updates of TP/ SL and updates of limit orders). If your EA causes hyperactivity to a platform server, we might alert you and ask you to adjust the EA logic or parameters of your strategy. Please beware of practices that have nothing in common with serious trading. If we identify such practice, we reserve our right to take the necessary action to mitigate risk. This might vary from removing the conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, or terminating the account completely and ceasing our cooperation altogether. You may refer to the Forbidden Trading Practices page for more information on what constitutes Forbidden Trading Practices. Please use our services with genuine intentions and show us your edge in the markets and consistency that you can be proud of.Stage: evaluation and fundedSource: Automated trading conditionsLast verified:

    Automated trading conditions
    You can access a simulated trading environment and trade asset classes. The full list of available instruments is published on our Symbols page and shown on your trading platform. Your trading style is up to you. As long as your trading is legitimate and in line with proper risk management, conforms to the real market conditions, and does not constitute Forbidden Trading Practices, we have no reason for limiting or restricting your trading strategy, whether it’s discretionary trading, algorithmic trading or EAs. When trading, keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to generate the same results as on your FTMO Challenge, FTMO Account or FTMO Instant Account. We do not require you to use a Stop-loss (although it’s generally advisable to always have certain safety measures in place). You can trade all the instruments and assets that are available in your trading platform (Forex, Indices, Commodities, Stocks, Crypto,…). If you intend to use trading robots (Expert Advisors – EAs), keep in mind that if you use an EA from a third party, there might be other traders already using the same EA and therefore exactly the same strategy. By using a third-party EA, you potentially run a risk of being denied the FTMO Account if you exceed the maximum capital allocation rule. Please note that platform servers have a limit of 200 orders at a time and 2000 max positions per day, as well as limited acceptance of server messages (orders and order modifications such as updates of TP/ SL and updates of limit orders). If your EA causes hyperactivity to a platform server, we might alert you and ask you to adjust the EA logic or parameters of your strategy. Please beware of practices that have nothing in common with serious trading. If we identify such practice, we reserve our right to take the necessary action to mitigate risk. This might vary from removing the conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, or terminating the account completely and ceasing our cooperation altogether. You may refer to the Forbidden Trading Practices page for more information on what constitutes Forbidden Trading Practices. Please use our services with genuine intentions and show us your edge in the markets and consistency that you can be proud of.Stage: evaluation and fundedSource: Automated trading conditionsLast verified:

    You can access a simulated trading environment and trade asset classes. The full list of available instruments is published on our Symbols page and shown on your trading platform. Your trading style is up to you. As long as your trading is legitimate and in line with proper risk management, conforms to the real market conditions, and does not constitute Forbidden Trading Practices, we have no reason for limiting or restricting your trading strategy, whether it’s discretionary trading, algorithmic trading or EAs. When trading, keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to generate the same results as on your FTMO Challenge, FTMO Account or FTMO Instant Account. We do not require you to use a Stop-loss (although it’s generally advisable to always have certain safety measures in place). You can trade all the instruments and assets that are available in your trading platform (Forex, Indices, Commodities, Stocks, Crypto,…). If you intend to use trading robots (Expert Advisors – EAs), keep in mind that if you use an EA from a third party, there might be other traders already using the same EA and therefore exactly the same strategy. By using a third-party EA, you potentially run a risk of being denied the FTMO Account if you exceed the maximum capital allocation rule. Please note that platform servers have a limit of 200 orders at a time and 2000 max positions per day, as well as limited acceptance of server messages (orders and order modifications such as updates of TP/ SL and updates of limit orders). If your EA causes hyperactivity to a platform server, we might alert you and ask you to adjust the EA logic or parameters of your strategy. Please beware of practices that have nothing in common with serious trading. If we identify such practice, we reserve our right to take the necessary action to mitigate risk. This might vary from removing the conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, or terminating the account completely and ceasing our cooperation altogether. You may refer to the Forbidden Trading Practices page for more information on what constitutes Forbidden Trading Practices. Please use our services with genuine intentions and show us your edge in the markets and consistency that you can be proud of.Stage: evaluation and fundedSource: Automated trading conditionsLast verified:

How to compare prop firm programmes

Start with the market and platform you use, then compare the exact programme and account size. A lower entry fee is only one part of the decision.

Check the total cost

Read the payment cadence alongside the price. Before paying, check renewal, reset, activation and platform or data charges in the provider's terms.

Understand drawdown rules →

Read the next-stage terms

Check what happens after passing: account type, trading permissions and payout conditions. Required trading days and calendar waiting days are different.
