What Is FTMO Futures?
You start in an evaluation with simulated capital. Once you pass, you can move to a Sim-Funded Account and qualify for payouts. A Live Funded Account is a separate stage. FTMO can invite selected traders after they build a payout record.
FTMO Futures Account Sizes and Prices
Growth and Pro both come in $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000 sizes. The monthly fee increases with account size. The subscription ends once you pass the evaluation. There’s no activation fee. A reset is a separate purchase if you breach a hard rule and want to restart before renewal.
| Account size | Growth monthly fee | Growth reset | Pro monthly fee | Pro reset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $119 | $109 | $139 | $129 |
| $100,000 | $169 | $159 | $199 | $189 |
| $150,000 | $229 | $219 | $269 | $259 |

My take: I’d compare the profit target, drawdown and contract limits at the size I actually want. The difference in monthly fees is only one part of choosing between Growth and Pro.
You can compare the plans and start an evaluation through my FTMO Futures link.
How Do Growth and Pro Work?
Both evaluations have a 6% profit target. Growth has no daily loss limit during evaluation. It has a 40% consistency limit. Pro has a 50% consistency limit and a hard daily loss limit from the start.
Both use a drawdown threshold that trails at the end of the trading day and stops moving at the starting balance. Watch the threshold while you trade. You can still breach it during the session.
My Take on Growth and Pro
I’d look at Growth first if I wanted a lower monthly fee and more flexibility on losing days during the evaluation. Pro makes more sense if the extra drawdown and higher payout caps matter to your strategy. I’d compare the drawdown and the daily loss rule before paying for a bigger account.

How Do FTMO Futures Payouts Work?
Once you reach Sim-Funded, the consistency rule drops away. You keep 90% of the payout on either plan. Growth lets you request up to half of the available profit and Pro up to all of it, subject to a dollar cap per request.
| Account size | Growth payout cap | Growth qualifying days | Pro payout cap | Pro qualifying days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $2,500 | 4 days at $150+ each | $5,000 | 5 days at $200+ each |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | 4 days at $300+ each | $6,000 | 5 days at $300+ each |
| $150,000 | $4,000 | 4 days at $450+ each | $8,000 | 5 days at $500+ each |
Growth introduces a soft daily loss limit in Sim-Funded. Pro keeps the hard limit. Before requesting the maximum payout on Pro, I’d check how much room the withdrawal leaves above the drawdown threshold.

What Can You Trade With FTMO Futures?
You can trade futures on equity indices, currencies, metals, energy and cryptocurrencies. On the evaluation, ten micros count as one mini towards the contract limit. On a Sim-Funded Account, you start with a lower limit that can increase as you build profit.

|---|---|
| $50,000 | 5 mini (50 micro) |
| $100,000 | 10 mini (100 micro) |
| $150,000 | 15 mini (150 micro) |
Pro

| $100,000 | 10 mini (100 micro) |
