All the rules are here, fully visible, fully upfront. Give them a quick scan before you start. It takes less time than a single trade and saves you infinitely more.
None of the following reasons will ever become an issue in your trading journey at FTM.
There are no broad prohibitions on "gambling" or "toxic trading." Does this mean FTM promote this behavior? of course not. However, this is a term that carries a thousand different meanings. What one person considers gambling behavior, another considers a legitimate strategy. Because of that subjectivity and vagueness, there is no universal rule applied.
Why this is allowed
Imposing a restriction that is open to interpretation creates more problems than it solves. Traders lose clarity, trade with doubt, and never know for certain whether their next decision will be judged as acceptable or a violation.
The programs are designed so that inherently excessive gambling does not work in your favor. The more you try to force outcomes through high-risk behavior, the more likely you are to fail within the built-in limits. That is the safeguard, not a subjective behavioral rule. You are free to trade your own way, but the structure naturally rewards discipline and punishes recklessness.
Any lot size that your available margin and leverage permit is fully allowed. You will never be penalized for changing your position sizes from one trade to the next, regardless of how inconsistent that may appear.
Why this is allowed
Trading conditions change. Market volatility shifts, setups vary in conviction, and a trader's confidence naturally fluctuates. Forcing rigid consistency in lot sizes ignores the reality of discretionary trading. We trust you to manage your own risk within the parameters provided. If your margin allows the trade, the trade is valid. Period.
These are common position-management approaches traders use:
Why this is allowed
Drawdown parameters exist for a reason. If you're confident you can manage your strategy within the allowed drawdown limits, we don't restrict you from using it. How you structure your trades on a single account is your call, as long as you stay within the rules.
This is allowed per account. However, running these strategies across multiple accounts simultaneously to create an unfair advantage is treated as abusive behavior and leads to reward deductions.

There are no blackout windows, no time-based restrictions around economic announcements, and no profit reductions tied to news events. Every trade is treated equally regardless of when it was opened or closed. All profits from trades placed during (or previously held positions closed) news events are fully eligible for performance rewards.
Why this is allowed
Depending on your program type, you will be managing either a floating limit or a daily/overall loss limit. The safeguard is built into the structure itself, not into arbitrary time windows. Manage your risk parameters responsibly, stay within your limits, and trade the news freely.
Usually Margin rule caps the total margin usage across all open positions. The violation depends on exceeding a certain margin usage percentage.
Why this is allowed
We do not impose a margin usage rule. Leverage is set at a fixed, known level for a reason. If the available leverage allows you to open a trade at a specific lot size, you may do so. This will never be treated as a surprise violation when you request a performance reward.
One-sided betting generally refers to repeatedly opening additional positions in the same direction (all buys or all sells) on the same symbol while an existing position is already open, or doing so in quick succession without a proper cooldown period. It's viewed as a form of directional gambling.
Why this is allowed
Directional bias isn't a crime here. If you think a trade is going your way, you can add to it. If you think it's coming back, you can add there too. We get that doing this takes a plan, you still need to manage your trades properly. Asking traders to flat-out stop would take away a lot of freedom, and that's not something we want to do. So follow your read, keep your risk in check, and trade your plan.
The 1-Step Nitro Program offers a Maximum Allocation of $300,000
Puntos importantes a tener en cuenta al solicitar un pago de una cuenta Nitro (financiada simulada):
Cálculo: Si el beneficio simulado está por debajo del 6%, el límite de reducción de seguimiento es del 6% del Saldo Inicial desde el Saldo Más Alto Registrado.
Ejemplo 1: (Menos del 6% de Beneficio)
Tamaño de la cuenta: $100,000
Beneficio simulado actual: 4% ($4,000)
Saldo más alto registrado: $105,000
Cálculo de Drawdown Trailing: $105,000 – (6% de $100,000) = $99,000
Escenario 1: Retiro total de ganancias simuladas
Cantidad de Retiro: $4,000
Límite diario restante: $100,000 (saldo restablecido) – $99,000 = $1,000
Escenario 2: Retiro parcial de ganancias simuladas
Cantidad de Retiro: $2,000
Drawdown Disponible: $3,000
Cálculo: Si el beneficio simulado es del 6% o más, el límite de pérdida trailing se fija en el saldo inicial.
Ejemplo 2: (6% de Beneficio Alcanzado)
Tamaño de la cuenta: $100,000
Ganancia Simulada Actual: 6% ($6,000)
Drawdown en trailing fijo en el saldo inicial: $100,000
Escenario 1: Retiro total de ganancias simuladas
Monto de Retiro: $6,000
Límite Total Restante: $100,000 (reinicio de saldo) – $100,000 (límite fijo) = $0
Resultado: Incumplimiento de la cuenta debido a que no hay límite de reducción restante.
Escenario 2: Retiro parcial de ganancias simuladas
Cantidad de retiro: $4,000 en lugar de $6,000
Deducción disponible: $2,000 ($106,000 – $104,000)
Resultado: No hay incumplimiento de cuenta y el límite de deducción general restante se convierte en $2,000 ($102,000 – $100,000)
Para las cuentas 1-step Nitro, hay una regla de consistencia que se aplica tanto a la Fase de Desafío como a la Fase de Fondos Simulados.
¿Por qué esta regla?
La regla de consistencia de Funded Trader Markets promueve un crecimiento constante de las ganancias y ayuda a los traders a evitar el trading emocional.
Detalles Importantes Acerca de la Regla de Consistencia para Cuentas de Evaluación
En la Fase de Desafío, no debe alcanzar más del 50% (es decir, la mitad) del objetivo de ganancias en un día.
En la Fase de Simulación Financiada, no debe haber alcanzado más del 45% del total de ganancias en un día.
Si el beneficio de un solo día es más del 50% de su objetivo de beneficio en la Fase de Desafío o más del 45% de su beneficio total en la Fase de Financiación Simulada, debe continuar operando hasta que no haya un día con más de los máximos mencionados anteriormente.
¿Cuándo se requiere la Regla de Consistencia?
Para las cuentas de 1-Step Nitro, se aplica tanto a la Fase de Desafío como a la Fase Simulada Financiada
Cálculo
[Mejor Día % del Beneficio Total] = [Beneficio del Mejor Día] ÷ [Beneficio Total] * 100
El Beneficio del Mejor Día significa el mayor beneficio en un solo día
Ganancia de un solo día = Saldo a las 5pm ET de hoy - Saldo a las 5pm ET de ayer
Ejemplo (Fase Financiada Simulada)
Si usted obtuvo un beneficio total de $5,000 en la Fase de Simulación Financiada,
Para ser elegible para el retiro, no debe haber habido un solo día con más del 45% de $5,000 (= $2,250).
Si hay un solo día con más del 45% de la ganancia total, entonces debe seguir operando hasta que la mejor ganancia del día sea menor del 45% de la ganancia total.
Ejemplo (Fase de Desafío)
Para una cuenta de $10,000 en 1 Step Nitro con un objetivo de beneficio en la Fase 1 de $1000 (10%), ningún beneficio de un solo día debe exceder los $500 (50% del objetivo) para cumplir con la regla de consistencia.
Si logra un beneficio total de $1000 pero obtiene más de $500 en un solo día, se requiere que continúe operando hasta que el mejor beneficio diario sea inferior al 50% del beneficio total.
El éxito requiere elaborar una estrategia que impida superar un beneficio diario de $500.
Al seguir estas directrices, los traders pueden promover un enfoque de trading disciplinado y sostenible, crucial para el éxito a largo plazo.
La cuenta Nitro (Financiada Simulada) ofrece un reparto de beneficios del 100% sobre los primeros $10,000 de beneficios obtenidos. Después de alcanzar este umbral, el reparto de beneficios pasa al 80% para los beneficios subsiguientes.
Nota:Esto no se aplica a las cuentas gratuitas ofrecidas a través de sorteos, juegos y/o asociaciones. Siempre son elegibles únicamente para una distribución de beneficios del 80%.
El objetivo de beneficio simulado para la Evaluación de 1-Step Nitro es del 10%.
Ejemplo:
Tamaño de la cuenta: $100,000
Objetivo de ganancias: $10,000 (10% de $100,000)
El límite total de reducción para la evaluación de 1-Step Nitro es del 6% del saldo más alto registrado.
Puntos clave a entender:
Ejemplo 1:
Inicio del Día 1:
Saldo/Equidad Inicial: $100,000
Pérdida Total Inicial: 6% de $100,000, lo que significa que el límite de cierre se establece en $94,000. Si la Equidad o el Saldo alcanzan este límite, resultará en una violación del Límite de Pérdida Total.
Durante el Día 1:
Nuevo Saldo: $103,000
Dibujo global: $103,000 - (6% de $100,000 = $6,000), por lo que el nuevo límite de stop-out es $97,000. Si ya sea el capital o el balance alcanzan este límite, resultaría en una violación del límite de dibujo global.
Día 2:
Saldo/Equidad Inicial: $101,000
Límite de Pérdida Total Permitido: El límite de detención permanece en $97,000 ya que se basa en el saldo más alto de $103,000. Si la Equidad o el Saldo alcanzan este límite, resultaría en una violación del Límite de Pérdida Total.
Ejemplo 2: Después de lograr un 6% de beneficio
Día 3:
Saldo/Equidad Inicial: $106,000 Dibujo Total: Fijo en $100,000 después de alcanzar un 6% de beneficio (el Límite de Dibujo Total se convierte en $100,000). Si la Equidad o el Saldo alcanzan este límite, resultará en una violación del Límite de Dibujo Total.
El límite máximo de Drawdown diario es del 4% del saldo inicial.
Ejemplo 1:
Para una Evaluación de $100,000 1-Step Nitro, la Pérdida Diaria Permitida es del 4% del Saldo Inicial.
Día 1:
Saldo inicial/Equidad: $100,000
Drawdown diario permitido: 4% de $100,000 = $4,000 (límite de stop-out = $96,000)
Ejemplo 2:
Día 2:
Saldo de fin de día (Día 1): $104,000
Equidad de fin de día (Día 1): $103,000
A las 5 PM ET, si hay posiciones no realizadas abiertas, se deducirá el 4% del saldo inicial del mayor de los dos. En el Ejemplo 2 anterior, dado que el saldo es mayor que el Capital, el límite de stop out se convertirá en ($104,000 – (4% de 100,000)) = $104,000 – $4,000 = $100,000
Si ya sea el Capital o el Saldo alcanzan este límite, resultará en una violación del Límite de Pérdida Diaria.
No rule is hidden. We lay every rule out in full view. Read them all before you place your first trade.
Program Features
The starting profit split for a 1-Step Nitro account type is 90% for the first $10,000 in profits then 80% subsequently after that.
For 1-Step Nitro accounts, the daily drawdown is always 4% of your initial balance and does not scale with profits. Each day at 5PM ET, the higher of your balance or equity is used, and 4% of the initial balance is subtracted from it to set the day’s stop-out level.
For a $100,000 account, 4% = $4,000. So if the higher value at 5PM ET is $106,000, the stop-out becomes $102,000. If either balance or equity reaches this level at any point, it results in a daily drawdown breach.
Note: The Maximum Daily Drawdown limit for a 300k Nitro account size is 3% while other account sizes of Nitro type are 4% as earlier stated
For 1-Step Nitro accounts, the overall drawdown trails your highest recorded balance. It stays 6% of the initial balance from the highest balance you’ve reached.
Example: On a $100,000 account, if your balance rises to $103,000, the stop-out becomes $97,000 and remains there unless a new high is made. Once you achieve 6% total profit, the overall drawdown becomes fixed at the initial balance ($100,000) and no longer moves with new highs.
See full explanation here.
For 1-Step Nitro accounts, the phase 1 requires reaching a 10% profit target. Example: On a $100,000 account, the target is $10,000.
Consistency Score
The consistency rule in the simulated funded phase of 1-Step Nitro accounts requires that no single day’s profit exceeds 45% of your total profit. If one day is above this threshold, trading must continue until your best day is below 45% of your total profit.
Example: If total profit is $10,000, no single day should exceed $4,500 to meet the consistency rule requirement.
See the full details here.
The consistency rule for 1-Step Nitro accounts during the Challenge Phase states that a single day’s profit cannot exceed 50% of the phase’s profit target.
Example: On a $100,000 account with a $10,000 target, no day should exceed $5,000. If any day does, trading must continue until your best day becomes less than 50% of your total profit.

Drawdown is the loss limit that ends an account. Every program carries two: a daily limit that resets each day, and an overall limit that runs for the life of the account. Here is exactly how each one is measured.
A fresh stop-out each day, based on your balance.
Each day the stop-out is set from the greater of your balance or equity at the start of the day, minus a fixed dollar amount equal to your daily DD% of the Initial Balance. Only the daily starting point moves; the dollar amount never changes. An intraday dip can breach it even if you close the day in profit.
Stop-out fixed to the Initial Balance.
The stop-out stays anchored to your starting balance for the life of the account. On a $100,000 account with a 10% limit it sits at $90,000, even after profits. Gains never raise the floor; only the Initial Balance defines it.
Stop-out trails the Highest Recorded Balance.
The stop-out follows your highest recorded balance, holding the same dollar buffer below each new peak. It only ever moves up, never back down, so a pullback after a strong run can still breach it.
Trails, then fixes to the Initial Balance after +DD% profit.
It behaves like trailing until your balance reaches the Initial Balance plus the DD%. At that milestone the limit fixes to the Initial Balance for good, so later pullbacks respect that floor and the profit you already earned stays protected.
Yes. Your trading IP must follow these rules:
If these rules are violated, it may result in payout rejection, account restriction, or a total ban depending on severity/repetition without a refund.
