FTMO has launched a beta version of its futures offering, expanding its prop trading business into the futures market.
The Prague-based firm is offering the product under the name FTMO Futures. Traders first enter an evaluation process before progressing to a Sim-Funded Account.
FTMO's move follows other CFD-focused prop firms that have expanded into futures. The5ers and FundedNext have also launched futures offerings, as firms have sought alternatives following MetaQuotes' restrictions affecting US-focused prop trading platforms.

FTMO says traders can access up to $450,000 in simulated capital. The futures offering includes Growth and Pro account structures, with different rules covering withdrawals and other trading conditions.
FTMO was founded in 2015 and has expanded its business through acquisitions and new market offerings.
In December 2025, FTMO completed its acquisition of OANDA from private equity firm CVC. The deal brought the online trading group into the same corporate structure as FTMO.
FTMO Returns to US Market
The futures launch comes as FTMO has also resumed its prop trading services for US-based traders.
FTMO returned to the US alongside The5ers after both firms suspended services to US clients in early 2024. The return followed changes in the prop trading industry and the wider availability of alternative trading technology.
FTMO's US offering is available through MetaTrader 5, while The5ers uses cTrader. Other prop firms, including FundedNext, Funding Pips and Blue Guardian, have also resumed US operations after previously suspending services.
The changes followed restrictions introduced by MetaQuotes on the use of its trading platforms by US-focused prop firms. Several firms subsequently moved to alternative platforms or adjusted their operating models.
