Before you decide to accept an FTS Challenge, we want to make sure you know what you’re up against.

Once you sign up, you can start an FTS Challenge right away. Our Assessment Process is designed to provide us with sufficient basis to verify your trading skills and allow you to use our FTS Account.

FTS appears in the financial market seeking innovations and a solid fund for Traders around the world.

It is a private capital group that seeks players around the world, with the idea and planning of bringing the best and most consistent from around the world to be part of our Trader’s team.

We want to finance real capital and not just virtual funds. This is our main difference in the market.

Passion for the market

We are passionate about the financial market and this is what makes us believe in such a solid career plan for our traders. This vision will be the great differentiator for us to transform and innovate the entire market. We want you all together with us, moving towards the realization of a dream that has already come true.

Our purpose

Today we have this leadership thanks to you who believe that you are together side by side.

Everyone has failed a few times before achieving success and through that success we offer more success.

It’s not just about money, it’s about stability and changing your life. We want to achieve and transform the financial lives of many people together with the group.

Let’s win over people who, like us, are completely passionate about the market, who seek to educate themselves and learn more every day on Day Trade, who are focused and seek big goals.

And simply sitting down and being able to meet with the right people at the right time, having the necessary mindset and effort.

Apart from the exceptions listed below, we accept clients globally, as depicted in the accompanying map.

No specific qualifications are required. All clients must be over the age of 18. Whether you are a beginner or already know your way around trading and are interested in improving yourself, then you’re the person we’re looking for.

Please note that FTS does not provide services to persons in/from (both nationals and residents) Iran, Syria, Myanmar, North Korea and USA, persons listed on sanction lists, persons with criminal records related to financial crime or terrorism, and persons previously banned because of breach of contract. FTS also does not accept clients – legal persons, who are company trusts.

In order to become an FTS Trader, you will have to pass our 2-step Evaluation Process.

Step 1: FTS Challenge

A demo account with fictitious capital where you will have to trade according to our Trading Objectives. You will have superior account conditions in the form of our own FTS solution with very low commissions and spreads. If you manage to pass all requirements, you will proceed to the second and final step of the evaluation.

Step 2: Verification

A demo account with fictitious capital whereby you verify your performance and consistency one last time.

After you successfully pass the Verification stage, you may get the chance to become an FTS Trader after passing our review of your trading. To conclude a contract for your FTS Account, we will ask you to provide your ID document (passport, national ID card) and complete your identification. The conclusion of the contract is dependent on the finalization of identification procedures in accordance with the FTS internal policies.

The minimum requirement to pass an FTS Challenge is to trade for at least 5 trading days (don’t need to be consecutive). The same then applies to the Verification phase, where again we require you to trade for at least 5 trading days.

We do not have any maximum time limit during which you would have to pass our Evaluation Process, you can therefore take as much time as you need.

Once you meet all 5 Trading Objectives and your trades are reviewed, you can move on to the next phase right away. All in all, you can start using your FTS Account after as few as 10 trading days.  

After you pass all the Trading Objectives in your FTS Challenge, you will see a notification in your Account informing you about your success, and you won’t need to trade the account anymore as your Trading Objectives are marked as passed. We will be automatically alerted that you have passed your FTS Challenge and we will proceed to evaluate your trading results accordingly.

After approximately 1-2 business days, we will then send you the new account login credentials for the Verification stage.

You will trade with the same account balance that you traded in your FTS Challenge. If you traded with $200,000 in an FTS Challenge, you would also have access to a $200,000 FTS Account.

To avoid any confusion, please note that all accounts we provide to our clients are demo accounts with virtual funds. After a client becomes an FTS Trader, he/she is provided with login credentials for a demo account. Clients are entitled to up to 70% of profits generated on an FTS Account. 

If you wish to trade with a higher account balance, you can simply apply for another FTS Challenge. Each FTS Challenge needs to be traded from the beginning, regardless of whether you have passed one in the past. We allow a maximum capital allocation of $500,00 on FTS Accounts per trader or per strategy, at any given time. This can be understood as 2 FTS Accounts – each with $200k, or 4 FTS Accounts – each with $100k, etc. Please be careful not to get multiple accounts through various registrations. If we discover the identically traded strategies throughout various accounts exceeding $400,000 in the allocated capital value, we reserve the right to suspend those accounts per our agreement.

Step 1 – FTS Challenge

Before you can get your FTS Account, we need to be sure you can trade responsibly and manage risk properly as, in the future, we can use your simulated trades performed via the FTS Account when trading on our own account on real financial markets. The FTS Challenge stage has reasonable rules, where the Profit Target is in balance with the drawdown we allow you to take. We call these rules Trading Objectives.

There is no time limit within which you need to pass the Profit Target, the Trading Period is indefinite. As soon as all the Trading Objectives of your FTS Challenge are met and your results are reviewed, you can proceed to the Verification phase. The minimum time to complete an FTS Challenge is 5 trading days.

Following are the Trading Objectives:

Minimum Trading Days: 5 Days each fase

maximum Daily Loss 5%

Maximum Loss 5%

Profit Target 10%

Refundable fee 100%

Step 2 – Verification

Minimum Trading Days: 5 Days each fase

maximum Daily Loss 5%

Maximum Loss 5%

Profit Target 5%

Refundable fee 100%

Step 3 – FTS Account

When you become an FTS Trader, we already know that we can trust your trading skills and abilities to manage risk properly and therefore, we will provide you with top-rated trading conditions in the industry. To ensure you will not be stressed by chasing any targets, we have completely removed the Profit Target requirement to give you the freedom to trade with peace of mind. The only Trading Objectives we  require you to respect are the drawdown rules (Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss), which are the most important rules we care about as these are the fundamentals of trading and we may use data on your simulated trades to perform our own trades in real financial markets.

In an FTS Challenge and Verification, you can trade freely during all news releases.

Following is the trade restriction table for our FTS Traders with specific types of reports and instruments. Only our FTS Traders trading on an FTS Account are NOT allowed to execute any new trade or close an existing trade on the targeted (as per the table) instrument in the window of 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after the release of the below news announcements. To clarify, we define executing a trade as opening or closing either a pending order (including stop loss or a take profit) or market execution. You are allowed to hold your trade(s) on the targeted instrument(s) that were opened more than 5 minutes before the restricted news event. Be reminded that if your Stop Loss or Take Profit is activated/filled during the restricted time window of 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after, it may be taken as a violation of the FTS Account Agreement.

Other non-targeted instruments can be traded normally. E.g. You can trade EURGBP or AUDNZD during the US – NFP release. However, you should not open or close USDJPY or GBPUSD during the window of 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after the NFP release.

In an FTS Challenge or Verification, you don’t have to. During these stages, you can keep your positions open overnight and over the weekend as well.

However, once you become an FTS Trader and get an FTS Account, we require you to close your positions just before the markets close for the weekend or if the rollover (market break) is longer than 2 hours. Our FTS Traders having the FTS Account must respect the market timings. Every asset class and its respective instruments might have different trading hours that have to be adhered to.

Standard market hours are visible on the trading platforms and at our Symbols site, however, trading hours are routinely subject to changes based on major holidays or other events. All changes to standard market hours are announced in the Trading Updates section and we highly recommend visiting this page regularly.

In the MetaTrader platform, you can simply go to your “Watchlist,” right-click on any instrument and select the “Instrument Info” option to view the Trading Hours in your local time.

If you trade cryptocurrencies, some can be traded during specific hours of the weekend as well.

Your trading style is up to you. As long as your trading is legitimate (in line with proper risk management), conforms to the real market conditions, and does not resemble forbidden practices, we have no reasons for limiting or restricting your trading strategy, whether it’s discretionary trading, algorithmic trading, etc. When trading,  keep in mind that your trading style should be replicable on live accounts to generate the same results as on your FTS Account. We do not require you to use a Stop-loss (although it’s generally advisable to always have certain safety measures in place) and the maximum volume per order on Forex is 50 lots. You can trade all the instruments and assets that are available in your trading platform (Forex, Indices, Commodities, Stocks, Crypto,…). You can also view the available symbols on this link. If your system is profitable while respecting the rules, we’re happy to see you profit with us.

If you intend to use trading robots (Expert Advisors – EAs), keep in mind that if you use an EA from a third party, there might be other traders already using the same EA and therefore exactly the same strategy. By using a third-party EA, you potentially run a risk of being denied the FTS Account if you exceed the maximum capital allocation rule.

Please note that platform servers have 200 orders at a time and 2000 max positions per day limitation, just as the limited acceptance of the server messages (orders and order modifications such as updates of TP/ SL and updates of limit orders). If your EA causes hyperactivity to a platform server, we might alert you and ask you to adjust the EA logic or parameters of your strategy.

Please beware of practices that have nothing much in common with serious trading. These practices are laid out in detail in our article here. If we identify intentional activities or Modus Operandi being repeated on more accounts, we reserve our right to take the necessary action to mitigate risk. This might vary from removing the conflicting positions, rebalancing the account, reducing leverage, or terminating the account completely and ceasing our cooperation altogether. You may refer to the Terms & Conditions (clause 5.4) for more information on what constitutes Forbidden Trading Practices. Please trade with genuine intentions and show us your edge in the markets and consistency that you can be proud of.

Trading must be legitimate and traders must not use practices that contradict the functioning of a real market. A trading strategy is allowed, provided it doesn’t interfere with legitimate trading or exploit practices that are intended to cause us any harm or misuse the Evaluation Process and/or FTS Account in any way and breach the forbidden trading practices.

We recommend that you get familiar with How FTS works, just as the Terms & Conditions, specifically clause 5.4. that describes the above-mentioned forbidden trading practices.

Please note again that all trading via the FTS platform  is simulated only, with only fictitious capital available. However, we may use the data obtained from FTS Accounts to trade on our own separate live accounts. Hence we emulate the conditions of a real market and require our clients to apply proper risk management. And when you trade on a real market (e.g. via a proprietary trading firm), you have to follow the rules.

Once you meet the Trading Objectives of your Verification, the FTS Identity section will be unlocked in your Client Area.

In the FTS Identity section, you will be able to save your personal or company details and related documentation and have them verified by our compliance team.

The compliance checks usually take less than 1 business day for personal registrations and up to 3 business days for company registrations.

Once all the information is verified by our compliance team, it will be securely stored in our system, ready to be used in case you wish to start using your FTS Account(s) or conclude a new FTS Account Agreement.

There are three different types of identities to choose from:

Natural Person (In this case, you would need to undergo the KYC – Know Your Customer verification process. Valid government-issued ID document showing nationality and Proof of address are required)

Entrepreneur (In this case, you would need to undergo the KYB – Know Your Business verification process. Valid government-issued ID document showing nationality, a document confirming the registration as an entrepreneur and Proof of address are required)

Company (In this case, you would need to undergo the KYB – Know Your Business verification process. Valid government-issued ID document showing nationality and Proof of address of the representative of the company, a document confirming the legal existence of the company, and Proof of address of the company are required)

The Client Area is designed to be intuitive and self-explanatory and to provide most of the necessary information for you, but you can always contact our customer support if you need help or assistance.

FTS Traders will have the same account balance size as chosen for their preceding FTS Challenge and Verification.

To avoid any confusion, after a client becomes an FTS Trader, he/she will be provided with a demo account with fictitious capital. Clients are entitled to up to 70% of results generated on the FTS Account. 

We do not have upgrading options so you need to choose the appropriate account size right at the beginning when you are configuring your FTS Challenge. You can, however, start a new FTS Challenge and upon successfully passing another Evaluation Process, we will provide you with another FTS Account. Just keep in mind that our maximum capital allocation on FTS Accounts is $500,000 per trader/strategy.

After a client becomes an FTS Trader, they will be provided with a demo account with fictitious capital.  

An FTS Account is an account with fully fictitious funds, however, with real market quotes from liquidity providers. Please note that, for FTS Account purposes, liquidity providers do not provide us or FTS Traders with any real money (liquidity), only with the market quotes. Our clients therefore never actually perform any trades on live markets. 

In a separate process, FTS also trades on its own account (outside of the FTS platform) with real financial means. While performing its own trades, FTS may also use trading data obtained from its clients’ FTS Accounts.  FTS continuously monitors and analyses the trades executed by FTS Traders in the demo environment and subsequently evaluates whether trades will be executed for FTS’s own account. This execution occurs without any impact on FTS’s clients and their simulated trading. These two processes are separate and in no way is the FTS Trader influenced by FTS’s trading.

Although FTS Traders only trade with fictitious capital, they are entitled to obtain a reward in the form of real money if they manage to generate “profit” on an FTS account. In other words, if they manage to negotiate fictitious capital profitably, proving their skills and the value of the data provided in the process, they will receive a reward.

Profit sharing on an FTS account is done monthly by default, with the option to make an on-demand payment after a period of 14 calendar days from the first trade made on the account. As long as there is some profit in the FTS account from simulated trading, the Profit Split Day can be changed up to 3 times for each withdrawal, anytime between 14 and 60 days from the start of trading.

Payments are processed within 1-2 business days after invoice confirmation. You can receive your profits via regular bank transfer, Skrill or cryptocurrencies. We do not charge any commission for withdrawals, only fees that are declared.

You don’t need to make any minimum profit to receive a Profit Split, just enough to cover transaction fees* Whatever amount of profit you generate, you have the right to withdraw 80% of it.

______

*Due to fees imposed for payment transfers, there is a minimum closed profit requirement of at least $100 for wire transfer and $200 for crypto.

Please bear in mind that you are solely responsible and liable for the payment of any and all taxes, levies, or fees that apply to you in relation to the FTS Account Agreement under the applicable laws and regulations. FTS is neither able nor authorized to provide any tax advice or instructions.

You can pay for an FTS Challenge via bank wire transfer, debit/credit card, cryptocurrencies, or Skrill.

No, we don’t charge any additional or hidden fees. The one-time fee for an FTS Challenge covers it all, including the Verification, there are absolutely no recurring fees with us. Moreover, your fee will be reimbursed to you when you successfully pass the FTS Challenge and Verification with the fourth Profit Split on your FTS Account.

Certainly. We know very well that psychology can be a major obstacle for many traders. We too have experienced things like overtrading, revenge trading, greed, FOMO, etc. It is said that 80% of success in trading is devoted to a proper state of mind, controlled emotions, and psychological stability. That’s why we have partnered with educated performance coaches and we offer their services to all our FTS Traders.

After the fourth payment together with the refundable fee, you will also be entitled to carry out Copy Trade, as your orders will be replicated in our investment funds.

Why only from the fourth payment?

First, we look for Traders who really understand the market and have complete readings of all the complexity it brings to us. So within the first few months we want to make sure you are capable of this.

We know how difficult consistency is and how difficult it is for mentality and psychological work, so after passing the challenge and continuing with all consistency, we really want to help and help each other within the market.

Within our plans, our dream and objective is to achieve and have offices around the world with qualified and consistent Traders in the financial market so that they can not only receive their commissions and profit divisions, but also receive a salary and bonuses for their consistency. Our objective is to expand not only to the Forex market, but also within the local stock exchanges themselves.

And with this we see that through this market we will make the big leap towards this.
