10 Moments that Shaped FTMO

1. Founders start pursuing their dream (2015)

Founders of future FTMO share their passion for trading. However, they are confronted with various obstacles in the classical trading industry. Together, they start searching for ways to make trading accessible to those who love it, are good at it, but who face barriers such as undercapitalisation.

2. FTMO Challenge starts

A signature FTMO Challenge is launched, testing trading skills in a simulated environment and providing a starting point on the path to trading with simulated capital. If traders are successful, they may be entitled to start earning real-money rewards based on their performance.

3. Entering the global stage

Simulated trading is getting more attention and popularity among traders. The company rebrands to FTMO and expands into international markets. What started as a project in Prague is now on its journey towards becoming a global leader.

4. Gaining recognition and being awarded by Deloitte

FTMO is repeatedly awarded by Deloitte, first with the title of Rising Star (2019 and 2020), then in the Fast 50 competition and is recognised among the fastest-growing firms. 

5. Coaching sessions introduced

FTMO continually builds and expands its resources and tools to support traders throughout their trading journey. Trading psychology and self-awareness are crucial factors for progress. For those who reach step 3 with FTMO, FTMO introduces a benefit of 2 coaching sessions per month.

6. Unlimited Trading Period

Was there a world without an unlimited trading period for simulated trading? Yes, there was. However, FTMO recognised that a good trading strategy needs enough time to prove itself. FTMO introduces an unlimited trading period to give aspiring traders as much time as they need to progress towards rewards from their simulated profits.
