FTMO Futures: How Growth and Pro Compare
FTMO sells two futures accounts. Pro gives more room and full withdrawals; Growth is cheaper and more forgiving on a bad day.
FTMO, best known for its forex and CFD challenges, has been selling futures accounts since the end of August 2026, as The Prop Journalist reported at launch. There are two products, Growth and Pro, and the choice between them matters more than it first looks. Here is how they compare, and how FTMO’s $50K accounts stack up against the US futures firms most traders know.
Growth and Pro at a glance
Both are a single phase evaluation with a 90% reward split and no activation fee, in 50K, 100K and 150K sizes. Each account is a monthly subscription. Here are the $50K versions, from FTMO’s comparison table, checked 5 November 2026.
| $50K account | Growth | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | $119 | $139 |
| Profit target | $3,000 | $3,000 |
| Maximum loss (end of day) | $2,000 | $3,000 |
| Daily loss limit, evaluation | None | $1,000, hard |
| Daily loss limit, funded | $1,000, soft | $1,000, hard |
| Consistency rule, evaluation | Best day 40% or less | Best day 50% or less |
| Maximum size | 5 minis | 5 minis |
| Share of profit you can withdraw each cycle | 50% | 100% |
| Cap per payout request | $2,500 | $5,000 |
| To qualify for a payout | 4 days of $150 or more | 5 days of $200 or more |
| Reset | $109 | $129 |
Neither has a consistency rule on the funded account, and you can hold up to three accounts at once.
The real difference: room versus rules
Look at the target against the maximum loss. On Growth you need $3,000 of profit with $2,000 of room, so the target is one and a half times your drawdown. On Pro the room is $3,000 for the same target. That extra $1,000 of drawdown is the biggest reason to pay $20 a month more. Our guide to drawdown buffers explains why room matters more than most traders think.
The catch is Pro’s hard daily loss limit. Lose $1,000 in a day and the account fails. On Growth there is no daily limit in the evaluation, and the funded limit is soft, which means you stop for the day but keep the account. If you know you sometimes have one bad day that runs away from you, Growth is more forgiving. See soft breach vs hard breach for how the two work.
Payouts: Growth holds half back
This is the part that is easy to miss. FTMO’s own explanation says Growth traders can request up to 50% of available profit each payout cycle, and the rest stays in the account. Pro traders can take 100%. Add Growth’s lower cap of $2,500 a request against Pro’s $5,000, and Pro is clearly the better account once you are funded and profitable.

List prices checked on each firm’s site on 5 November 2026, before any codes. FTMO is mid priced on a monthly basis, and its Pro account offers the most drawdown room of the group on a $50K account. Remember that monthly accounts cost more the longer you take to pass; our guide to how long passing takes helps you estimate it.
Platforms
FTMO Futures runs on NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView, with one login for all three. If you are used to MetaTrader from FTMO’s CFD challenges, expect a learning curve. Our platform guide covers the differences.
Which should you choose?
- Pick Pro if you trade with steady daily risk, want the most room and plan to withdraw what you make.
- Pick Growth if you are newer to futures, want the lowest monthly price and would rather not risk losing the account on one bad day.
- Look elsewhere if you want a one time fee. FundedNext Futures and My Funded Futures both charge once rather than monthly.
