Full review

FTMO, founded in Prague in 2015, is the best known and longest-established proprietary trading firm. Traders pass a two-step evaluation (a 10% target in phase 1, then 5% in phase 2, within a 10% maximum and 5% daily loss) to reach a funded account with up to a 90% profit split that scales higher over time.

It supports a broad platform range including MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and DXtrade, so you can run Market Structure Pro on its MT5 accounts. Markets cover forex, indices, commodities, crypto and shares. Payouts are on demand after the first 14 days, and the challenge fee is refunded with your first payout.

The main trade-offs are the stricter two-step model and that US access is only through its newer OANDA/MT5 partnership. Overall it remains the benchmark that most prop firms are compared against.
