Funded Trader Markets review
Funded Trader Markets, often shortened to FTM, is a forex and CFD prop firm. Clients contract with Formed Technologies INT FZCO in Dubai, while a Cyprus company acts as payment agent and a Saint Lucia company holds the MetaTrader 5 licence. Traders can choose MetaTrader 5, cTrader, Match Trader or TradeLocker, although MT5 and cTrader are not offered to residents of the United States. The instrument list covers 76 symbols across forex, metals, indices, oil and crypto, and every account is swap free. There are five current programs. The 1 Step Nitro asks for a 10% target with a 4% daily limit and a 6% trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance once the account is 6% up, in sizes from $5,000 to $300,000. The 2 Step Plus uses targets of 8% and 5% with a 4% daily limit and a 10% static drawdown, from $5,000 to $200,000. Three instant accounts, called Standard, Pro and Plus, skip the evaluation and run from $5,000 to $100,000 with a 3% daily limit and trailing drawdowns of 5%, 3% and 6%. List prices for a $10,000 account range from $60 on Instant Pro to $152 on the 2 Step Plus. Rewards are available on demand once an account shows 1% profit, and the challenges have no time limit.
Suits
Disciplined forex and CFD traders who want on demand rewards with a 24 hour payout promise and are comfortable trading within consistency and floating loss rules.
Less suited to
Avoid Funded Trader Markets if your trades often sit more than 1% in open loss, you scalp positions for under a minute, or you partly close trades and hold the rest overnight.
Pros
- Rewards are on demand once an account shows 1% profit, and late rewards of up to $1,000 are doubled.
- News trading, weekend holding, martingale, layering and most trading bots are allowed on every program.
- All accounts are swap free, and indices and crypto carry no commission.
- Traders in the United States are not on the restricted list and can use Match Trader or TradeLocker, though not MT5 or cTrader.
- The evaluation fee is paid back as a performance bonus with the third reward on the 1 Step Nitro and 2 Step Plus.
Cons
- Floating losses above 1% on funded 2 Step Plus and Instant Plus accounts close all trades and cut the profit split in stages to 20%.
- Instant Standard and Pro accounts start at a 50% split and only reach 80% from the fourth reward.
- The 1 Step Nitro applies a consistency rule in both stages, and its drawdown trails the highest balance until 6% profit.
- Profits from trades closed within one minute are voided on funded accounts, and partly closed positions cannot be held overnight.
- Rewards are paid only in USDT or through Rise, and crypto rewards carry a 5% fee.
Verdict
Funded Trader Markets stands out for on demand rewards backed by a written payout promise. Approved rewards are due within 24 business hours, and if the firm misses that window on a reward of up to $1,000, it doubles the reward and adds a free account of the same size. The firm also states that it applies no broad gambling, lot size, margin or news rules, and it allows martingale, layering, trading bots and weekend holding. The cost of that freedom sits in the detail. The 1 Step Nitro carries a consistency rule in both stages, and its 6% drawdown trails the highest balance until the account is 6% in profit. Funded 2 Step Plus and Instant Plus accounts work under a 1% floating loss limit, and each breach closes every open trade and lowers the split in steps to a permanent 20%. Instant Standard and Pro accounts start at a 50% split, need four rewards to reach 80%, and combine a 15% consistency rule with tight trailing drawdowns. Several operating rules also matter. Profits from trades closed inside one minute do not count on funded accounts, a position that has been partly closed cannot be held overnight, and opening the same pair on a second account more than five minutes after the first trade, while it is still open, can void the profits. Rewards are paid only in USDT or through Rise, and crypto rewards carry a 5% fee. Trustpilot currently shows no rating for the firm and lists 428 reviews. Funded Trader Markets suits disciplined traders who read the rules closely and value fast, flexible withdrawals over the simplest rulebook.
Payouts
You can request your payout as soon as you meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Have a minimum withdrawal amount of 1%
- Have the required consistency score or lower
- Meet the minimum trading days requirement of 5 trading days with at least 0.5% of profit made on each day

Questions about Funded Trader Markets
Is Funded Trader Markets legit?

It publishes detailed rules in its FAQ and links reward transactions to a public blockchain explorer. Trustpilot currently shows no rating for the firm and lists 428 reviews.
How much does a Funded Trader Markets challenge cost?
List prices for a $10,000 account are $116 on the 1 Step Nitro and $152 on the 2 Step Plus, while the instant accounts cost $70 for Standard, $60 for Pro and $98 for Plus. A $100,000 account lists at $622 on the Nitro and $998 on the 2 Step Plus. At the start of October 2026 the site was offering a code that cut these prices by up to 75%.
How fast does Funded Trader Markets pay out?
Rewards can be requested on demand once the criteria are met, and approved rewards are sent within 24 business hours, counted as 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time on weekdays. If the firm misses that window on a reward of up to $1,000, it doubles the reward and issues a free account of the same size. The firm reports an average reward time of under 20 minutes in 2026.
What profit split does Funded Trader Markets offer?
The 1 Step Nitro pays 90% on the first $10,000 of profit and 80% after that. The 2 Step Plus pays 70% by default, or 90% with a free add on that also applies the floating loss rule during the evaluation. Instant Plus pays 80%, while Instant Standard and Pro start at 50% and rise by 10 points with each reward until they reach 80%.
Does Funded Trader Markets allow news trading and EAs?
News trading is allowed on every program with no blackout window, although rapidly opening and closing trades within seconds of a major release counts as prohibited news scalping. Trading bots are allowed on all accounts, except high frequency, arbitrage, tick scalping, reverse trading and news scalping bots. Traders may also copy their own trades from accounts held elsewhere.
What is the Shield Risk Protocol at Funded Trader Markets?
It is a floating loss limit of 1% of the account size that applies to funded 2 Step Plus and Instant Plus accounts. A breach closes every open trade and cuts the profit split to 50%, then 40%, then 30%, and finally a permanent 20%. On a 2 Step Plus evaluation bought with the 90% add on, a second breach fails the challenge.
