We track 3 FTMO products and 1 from Take Profit Trader that pass the 30-day source-freshness gate; source checks range from 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-21. These firms sell different instruments — FTMO runs CFD products and Take Profit Trader runs futures — so treat the tables below as a fit comparison, not a like-for-like price race. FTMO offers EUR one-time; Take Profit Trader offers USD monthly at this tier. No currency-and-billing class appears on both sides, so we neither convert currencies nor rank a recurring floor against a fixed total.

FTMO's own products disagree on 11 terms. On evaluation steps it is 1-step on FTMO Challenge: 1-Step, versus 2-step on FTMO Challenge: 2-Step, versus instant funding on FTMO Instant Account. Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.

R-multiple is break-even profit divided by that product's own maximum permitted loss — under 1.00 means you can lose more than you need to make to win the fee back. Blank cells are figures the firm does not publish.

Each cell shows every value that firm's current products hold. Where a firm disagrees with itself the products are named — those are the rows a firm-level table has to flatten, and the ones that decide whether your strategy is allowed. 11 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

Take Profit Trader reduced new Test minimum days to three
A new Test can reach the PRO stage after three trading days when its profit target and other rules are satisfied. Check the account creation or reset date before relying on the shorter path, because an existing five-day evaluation is not retroactively changed.
Every figure above is read from these pages. Products older than 30 days are removed from the comparison until they are recaptured, so a missing product means stale data, not a discontinued plan.
These directory fields describe the firms, not a universal product rule. The sourced product tables above decide the exact fee, split, drawdown and trading conditions. Directory context is not independently refreshed by this comparison; verify platform and payment availability for the exact programme and country.
Scored out of 5 by Trustpilot users, not by us. Where Trustpilot has pulled a firm's aggregate rating we say so rather than leaving a blank.
These links are selected by asset and platform overlap, then limited to matchups where both sides have current first-party product evidence.
