FTMO Launches Futures Trading Arm in Beta | LeapRate
FTMO, the Prague-based proprietary trading firm, has quietly launched a beta version of its futures offering, expanding beyond its core CFD prop trading business into futures markets under the new brand “FTMO Futures.”
The new unit is being run somewhat separately from the main FTMO business, with its own dedicated social media presence. Traders can choose from three account-size tiers ranging between $50,000 and $150,000, with monthly pricing running from $119 to $229. FTMO says the offering will ultimately provide access to up to $450,000 in simulated capital, spread across 1-Step and 2-Step Challenge structures with Growth and Pro account variants.
As with FTMO’s existing model, traders must first clear an Evaluation phase, trading in a simulated environment using live CME market data. Successful traders progress to a Sim-Funded Account, where they trade simulated capital with payouts, while only the strongest performers are considered for a Live Account.
The move mirrors similar expansions by rival prop firms The5ers and FundedNext, as the industry diversifies away from CFDs following MetaQuotes’ restrictions on US-focused prop trading platforms.
The launch comes shortly after FTMO resumed services for US-based traders, following a suspension in early 2024, using MetaTrader 5. It also follows FTMO’s December 2025 acquisition of retail broker OANDA from private equity firm CVC, bringing both businesses under the same corporate umbrella.
Founded in 2015, FTMO has grown rapidly through product expansion and acquisitions, cementing its position as one of the largest players in the retail prop trading sector amid intensifying competition for traders across both CFD and futures markets.
