FTMO Challenge: 1-Step is a simplified evaluation product that consists of a single evaluation phase. Unlike FTMO Challenge: 2-Step, it does not include a separate Verification phase. From the perspective of Trading Objectives, the two products are structured differently. More detailed information about the specific Trading Objectives is available on the Trading Objectives page.

The evaluation is completed once all applicable Trading Objectives are met (Trading Objectives) and the results are reviewed. Afterwards, the trader may proceed directly to the FTMO Identity (KYC) process and, if approved, gain access to an FTMO Account.

Once you meet all the Trading Objectives of your FTMO Challenge, a notification will appear in the Client Area. FTMO will be automatically alerted, review your results, and, upon successful evaluation, provide you with login credentials for the Verification phase within about 1–2 business days.

No. All trading with FTMO takes place in a simulated environment using simulated capital, so you never risk your own money. The only initial cost is the FTMO Challenge price, and you can also explore our services for free with the Free Trial.

After passing the FTMO Challenge & Verification, you can progress towards the FTMO Account. If you generate simulated profits on your FTMO Account, you are entitled to real-money rewards of up to 90% of your simulated profits.

Rewards can be requested on demand after a minimum of 14 days from your first demo trade (provided the FTMO Account is in positive profit and there are no open positions or pending orders), with most Rewards approved within 1–2 business days from the moment you claim the Reward. You can choose from multiple payment methods.
