FTMO, the world's largest and most recognized prop firm, has announced a 2% increase in profit split — from 90% to 92% — specifically for traders using swing trading strategies (holding positions overnight or over weekends).
Why Swing Traders?
FTMO's data shows that swing traders have higher long-term consistency and lower drawdown volatility compared to intraday scalpers. By rewarding these traders with a higher split, FTMO aims to attract more institutional-style traders to their platform.
Effective from March 1, 2026: All FTMO traders using swing strategies will automatically receive a 92% profit split. No application needed — strategy detection is automatic.
Industry Impact
This move is expected to trigger a wave of profit split increases across competing firms. Several firms, including The Funded Trader and MyFundedFX, are reportedly planning similar adjustments. Competition for trader retention is heating up.
FTMO's profit split increase signals a shift toward rewarding quality over quantity. Firms that can identify and retain consistent traders will dominate the next phase of the prop firm industry.
