FTMO vs Lux Trading Firm

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.

FTMO has no consistency rule on this plan; Lux Trading Firm 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. On day one the account closes first at Lux Trading Firm — its floor sits $4,000 above the floor at FTMO. We could not confirm a daily loss limit for the Lux Trading Firm plan from the firm's own pages, so that mark is absent. That is not a claim the rule does not exist.

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.
