Static daily and overall loss limits

FTMO uses a static drawdown system with clear daily and maximum loss limits. The 5% daily loss limit means your equity cannot decrease by more than 5% from the start of each trading day. The 10% maximum loss limit is calculated from your initial balance and does not trail. This static approach provides predictability - you always know exactly how much room you have before breaching rules. Both limits apply throughout the Challenge, Verification, and funded phases. FTMO emphasizes that proper position sizing and stop-loss usage are essential for success. The consistency rule requires that trading results are evenly distributed rather than dependent on single large trades.

FTMO specializes in forex and CFD trading, supporting industry-standard platforms MT4, MT5, cTrader, and DXtrade. MetaTrader 4 (MT4) is the classic choice with extensive indicator libraries and Expert Advisor support. MetaTrader 5 (MT5) offers advanced features including more timeframes and improved backtesting. cTrader provides a modern interface with excellent charting and cAlgo for automated strategies. DXtrade offers an alternative web-based solution. All platforms provide access to forex pairs, indices, commodities, and crypto CFDs. Professional order types, one-click trading, and mobile apps ensure traders can execute strategies effectively.
