FTMO Review: Offer and Rule Fit
FTMO is listed on FundCoupon as a forex prop firm for traders comparing challenge pricing, current discounts, platform fit, and rule constraints. FTMO, based in the Czech Republic and established January 2015, is a CFD prop trading firm offering 2 Steps and 1 Step programs. It provides account sizes from $10,000 to $200,000 and supports MT5, cTrader, DXTrade and MT4. Recently acquired OANDA to expand into regulated brokerage. Verified by FundCoupon for prop trading excellence.
Verdict: Consider FTMO only after the offer, account rules, payout terms, and trading platform match your strategy. A coupon lowers entry cost; it does not reduce evaluation risk.
