Risk & Drawdown Rules
Max Daily Loss 5 5 Maximum Daily LossFT+ uses a balance-based Daily Drawdown (Daily Simulated Loss) that resets each day at 16:59 (EST). A daily balance snapshot is taken, the daily loss amount is calculated as a percentage of that snapshot, and the account’s equity must not fall below the resulting Daily Drawdown figure.Daily Simulated Loss limits vary by program (typical published values): Master 6%, Experienced 4%, Advanced 5%, Premium 4%, Prestige Lite 3%, and Prestige Pro 5%.
Max Total Loss 10 10 Maximum Overall LossMaximum Simulated Loss limits vary by program and drawdown model. Core trailing-loss challenges include: Master 6% max loss, Experienced 6%, Premium 8% and Advanced 10%.Prestige variants use a static-loss structure with tighter daily limits and typical maximum loss caps such as 6% (Prestige Lite) or 10% (Prestige Pro), depending on the specific Prestige version chosen.
Drawdown Type Static for 1‑step, 2‑step and 3‑step evaluations; trailing for GOAT Blitz and instant funding; daily drawdown resets at 5 PM EST Drawdown ModelEquity-based drawdown. For One Phase / Two Phase / Stock Traders / Bitcoin Maxi: Max Daily Drawdown is a % of the previous day’s equity snapshot (5% for One/Two/Stock; 3% for Bitcoin Maxi). Max Drawdown is a fixed % of the initial balance (10% for One/Two/Stock; 5% for Bitcoin Maxi). Meme Coin uses a 6.5% trailing drawdown. Drawdown ModelFunded Trading Plus uses two drawdown structures across its programs: Relative (trailing) drawdown on core challenges (Master/Experienced/Advanced/Premium) and Static drawdown on Prestige variants.Daily Drawdown is calculated from a daily balance snapshot and applies as a daily equity floor that resets once per day.

Trading Permissions
News Trading Allowed; but trades opened or closed within 5 minutes of high‑impact news may only generate up to 1% profit of initial balance News trading depends on the challenge: Two Phases allowed; One Phase, Stock Traders and Meme Coin not allowed within 10 minutes before/after high-impact releases. News trading is allowed in principle, and FT+ markets “trade news” as part of its ruleset. However, high-risk “coin-flip” behaviour (e.g., extremely high margin utilisation combined with short-duration trades during volatile news) may fail a withdrawal-time risk review.
Weekend Trades yes Weekend trading: One Phase, Two Phase and Stock Traders not allowed; Meme Coin allowed. Funded Trading Plus states traders may hold trades over the weekend (“hold weekends”), supporting swing-style strategies. Traders should still monitor instrument trading hours/closures and manage gap risk.
Copy Trading No (duplicating trades across accounts is prohibited) Copy trading from other traders is prohibited; copying from your own personal accounts into your Funded Prime account is permitted if registered under the same email address. (Copy trading is permitted in evaluation stage.) FT+ requires accounts to be traded independently. Copy trading between active FT+ accounts is not permitted, and hedging across multiple accounts is strictly prohibited (hedging within a single account is allowed).
EA Allowed Expert Advisors are permitted provided they are not high‑frequency or arbitrage systems; they must be original and not marketed for passing challenges, and the trader may be asked to prove ownership by supplying the code. EAs are allowed for Prime Traders and strictly prohibited for Stock Traders. Expert Advisors (EAs), algos and bots are permitted. FT+ warns that abusive automation can lead to bans and may require traders to submit their EA for approval before receiving a simulated-live FT+ Trader account. EAs may not be used to copy trade or hedge across multiple FT+ accounts.
KYC & Restrictions
KYC Required No No Yes
KYC Stage After passing the evaluation and before receiving the funded account and first payout KYC must be completed to be eligible for payouts (Rules and Conditions/FAQs). FAQs note that if a payout exceeds $1,000, required KYC documents must be submitted and approved before requesting a withdrawal. KYC / identity checks are required at the FT+ Trader stage (simulated-live funded accounts), typically to confirm account ownership and support withdrawal processing under compliance requirements.
