Instruments and assets
FTMO provides access to the simulated markets offered in its current programme: FX, Metals, Indices, Energy, Crypto and Stocks. Available symbols, contract specifications, commissions and trading hours depend on the selected account and platform. Traders should check the live instrument list and restricted-market rules before beginning an evaluation.
Education tools, performance analytics and personal coaching support traders throughout the evaluation. Profit targets, drawdown limits and payout conditions differ by account model, so the official rules for the exact account selected take priority over any comparison summary.
