Funded Trader Markets: Forex & CFD Prop Firm With 1-Step, 2-Step, Instant Funding & On-Demand Rewards
Funded Trader Markets, also known as FTM, is a forex and CFD-focused simulated prop firm offering evaluation and instant funding programs. Traders can choose between 1-Step Nitro, 1-Step Nitro X, 2-Step Plus and Instant Funding models, with multiple trading platforms, swap-free accounts, on-demand rewards and profit splits that vary by program.
Firm Overview
Funded Trader Markets offers simulated trading programs for forex and CFD traders. The firm has evaluation-based routes and instant funding routes, with account sizes available across different programs and a maximum allocation advertised up to $1.2 million. FTM also highlights swap-free accounts, fast execution, no fixed reward dates and a reward system based on meeting program eligibility criteria.
1-Step Programs
Single-phase evaluation programs designed for traders who want a faster path to a simulated funded account. FTM lists Nitro and Nitro X under its 1-Step category.
2-Step Program
A classic two-phase challenge structure with separate Phase 1 and Phase 2 targets, balance-based drawdown and on-demand reward cycle after funding conditions are met.
Instant Funding
Instant accounts skip the evaluation target and allow traders to start on a simulated funded account immediately, with daily and overall drawdown rules still applying.
Platforms & Markets
Funded Trader Markets lists MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradeLocker and MatchTrader as available platforms. The firm focuses on liquid CFD markets including forex, commodities, crypto and indices. This is not a futures prop firm built around NinjaTrader, Tradovate or Rithmic.
