FTMO Updates

Dated programme, platform and rule changes, with the original source attached

DXtrade removed from new FTMO account selection

FTMO stopped offering DXtrade for new FTMO Challenges and Free Trials. MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader remain on the current platform list.

The change affects new FTMO Challenges and Free Trials only. Existing DXtrade accounts keep full access. If you preferred DXtrade, verify your workflow on MT4, MT5 or cTrader before starting a new evaluation. Platform choice matters for execution, but it is the rulebook that decides whether you pass.

FTMO launched its 1-Step Challenge with a 3% daily loss limit, trailing maximum loss and 50% Best Day rule

FTMO launched a single-phase 1-Step Challenge with a 3% daily loss limit, a trailing maximum loss and a 50% Best Day rule. It is a faster route than the classic 2-Step evaluation for traders confident in their consistency.

The 1-Step is one evaluation phase instead of two. The 3% daily loss limit and trailing maximum loss set the risk envelope, and the 50% Best Day rule caps how much profit can come from one day. It rewards consistent performance over a lucky trade. If you pass, the profit split and payout rules on the FTMO review matter more than the entry discount.
