FTMO operates through a structured 3-step evaluation model designed to assess trader performance before granting access to funded accounts. The process begins with the Challenge, where traders must meet specific trading objectives under defined risk parameters. This stage is intended to test discipline, consistency, and strategy execution.

The second stage, Verification, offers a lower profit target while maintaining the same trading conditions. This step serves as confirmation of a trader’s ability to replicate results without deviating from risk management rules. Successful completion leads to the final stage, the FTMO Account, where traders can manage capital allocations of up to $200,000 and receive profit splits of up to 90%.
Beyond the evaluation, FTMO provides coaching and premium programs to support skill development. The FTMO evaluation model has become a widely recognized framework in proprietary trading, offering transparency and a clear pathway for traders seeking professional-level opportunities.
