Which FTMO entity and route may apply to me?

FTMO s.r.o. (Czech Republic); separate FTMO x OANDA service is referenced for U.S. clients, and FTMO identifies an affiliated-entity route for Australian clients. The applicable service, entity, programme, and country route can differ by residence. Confirm the official onboarding path and agreement before acting.

Question 2

What official information is available about FTMO costs or initial funding?

Accepted Answer

One-time challenge fee. The current official Challenge flow sets pricing by product and account size; confirm the current amount before purchase.

Confirm the current official application or purchase flow for the selected product, account or programme.

Check the applicable programme rules before purchase.
