01 · WHY COMPARE?

FTMO is established. You still have options.

Choosing a prop firm is not about finding one universal winner. Evaluation structure, risk limits, targets, payout terms and the amount you commit upfront can all change which firm fits you best.

01

Different evaluation targets

FTMO’s traditional 2-Step currently uses 10% and 5% targets. ProPips uses 8% and 5% on its 2 Step evaluation.

02

Different upfront commitment

ProPass lets eligible traders begin from $10 upfront and pay the remaining activation amount after successfully passing.

03

Different funding routes

ProPips combines traditional 1 Step and 2 Step evaluations with ProPass and Instant Funding.

04

Different qualification structure

FTMO’s 2-Step currently requires four trading days in each evaluation phase. ProPips uses three minimum profitable days on its evaluations.

05

Different ways to skip evaluation

ProPips Instant Funding provides a direct no-evaluation route for traders who do not want to complete a challenge first.

06

Different account ecosystem

Compare account sizes, leverage, payout cycles, drawdown structure and add-ons rather than deciding on one headline feature.
