FTMO vs Funding Traders

Rules placed next to each other, with the calculation basis written out — because two firms quoting the same percentage can be measuring completely different things.

What differs most.

One uses a Static floor maximum loss, the other Trailing, intraday.
FTMO has no consistency rule on this plan; Funding Traders does.

Account closed
Trading day over, account survives
Room to lose on day one
Profit still needed to pass phase one

Drawn to scale from each plan's own published numbers, on the plan compared in the table below. Day one is the only day on which every daily-loss basis agrees, which is what makes the two bars honestly comparable at all. Both maximum-loss floors sit at the same place on day one, $90,000. Funding Traders uses a trailing maximum-loss floor: the bar shows where it sits on day one, and it rises with your peak without ever coming back down.

Not yet verified is not No. Where a cell reads "Not yet verified", we could not confirm the rule from the firm's own terms or help centre. It is not a claim that the rule does not exist.
