Master Trader Program

Our Master Trader Program is our Instant Funded account, meaning traders can skip the evaluation phase and trade in the FT+ Trader Simulated Live phase from Day 0. This also means any simulated gains can be withdrawn in real world funds from day 0.

FT+ Trader Account

You immediately gain access to an “FT+ Trader Simulated Live” account. With this account, you will be in our simulated-live environment, where you can withdraw real-world funds from your simulated gains from day 0, and then once every seven days thereafter.

Simulated Profit Share & Withdrawals

For withdrawal requests on our FT+ Trader simulated live accounts, we operate with a minimum starting profit split of 80/20 as a standard. This means that when you make a withdrawal request, you will receive 80% of the withdrawn funds. As you achieve milestones in your FT+ Trader account, this profit split can be upped to both 90/10 and ultimately, 100%. When you reach 20% simulated profit in your FT+ Trader account, traders can request the 90/10% profit share, and when traders reach 30% simulated profit in their FT+ Trader account, you can request your profit split to be changed to 100/0.

Making a withdrawal request is simple and easy, and can be done through your FT+ Dashboard. For the Master Program, you can withdraw any simulated profit you make on your account, with a minimum of $50, as soon as you are in simulated profit. Your first withdrawal can be made on the first day you receive your FT+ Trader account, and then once every 7 calendar days after.

FT+ Trader withdrawals start with an 80/20 profit split, meaning you receive 80% of withdrawn funds.

At 20% simulated profit, you can request a 90/10 split, receiving 90%.

At 30% simulated profit, you can upgrade to 100% profit, keeping all withdrawn funds.

Simulated Loss

Rules

We have simple hard and soft rules in place to protect our capital as well as the simulated profits generated by our active traders.

Breaking a hard rule will breach your account and result in account closure. Breaking a soft rule would never result in account closure. A soft rule break would only result in the system automatically closing any open position that breaches a soft rule.

We have simple hard and soft rules to protect our capital and the simulated profits of our traders.

Breaking a hard rule results in account closure.

Breaking a soft rule will not close your account but will automatically close any open positions that violate the rule.

Hard Rules
Do not breach our Daily Simulated Loss limit of 6%
Do not breach our Maximum Simulated Loss limit of 6%

Soft Rules
Do not hold trades during weekends. All trades will be automatically closed by 21:30 GMT on Friday (16:30 EST on Friday).

Daily Simulated Loss

Daily Simulated Loss will start at 6% of the original account size. Then, with each new trading day, it will become 6% of the prior day’s balance. This update happens when the server’s clock hits 23:59 and prevents you from losing too much in a single day. The best way to explain the daily simulated loss limit is by example:
The trader has a $100,000 simulated account. Daily simulated loss is 6% of the balance of the previous day.

Daily loss limit starts at 6% of the original account and updates to 6% of the prior day’s balance at 23:59 server time.

Daily Simulated Loss Help Center

Day Example 1
Previous Day Starting Balance at 23:59 = $100,000
Daily Simulated Loss Limit = $6,000 (6%)
$100,000 – $6,000 = $94,000

Day Example 2
Previous Day Starting Simulated Balance at 23:59 = $105,000
Daily Simulated Loss Limit = $6,300 (6%)
$105,000 – $6,300 = $98,700

Note: If the trader has winning trades in a given day, the amount those winning trades make is added to the daily simulated loss down allowance for that day.

Relative Maximum Simulation Loss

Our Maximum Simulated Loss works by trailing by 6% of the initial simulated balance from the high water mark. The high water mark is measured using the account balance. On this FT+ Trader account, once you have reached 6% simulated profit, the Maximum Simulated Loss no longer trails and the total account size becomes your lowest point of loss. The best way to explain our Maximum Simulated Loss is by example:

Relative Maximum Simulated Loss trails 6% from the high water mark until it reaches the initial balance, then stops trailing and the total account size becomes your lowest point of loss.

Maximum Simulated Loss Help Center

Example 1
Starting Balance = $100,000
Total Maximum Simulated Loss Limit = $6000 (6% of initial starting balance of $100,000)
6% of $100,000 = $6000. $100,000 – $6000 = $94,000

Example 2
Day Starting Simulated Balance = $106,000
Total Maximum Simulated Loss Limit = $6000 (6% of initial starting balance of $100,000)
6% of $100,000 = $6000. $106,000 – $6000 = $100,000

FT+ Trader Account Drawdown

On a FT+ Trader account, once you have made a closed positive simulated trading balance of 6%, the maximum simulated loss no longer trails and the total simulated account size becomes your lowest point of loss. This means if you are on a simulated $100,000 account and you achieve $106,000 you would now have a total simulated maximum loss allowance of 6%. In this example, your account can not go below $100,000 once $106,000 is achieved. Please be aware that when you come to withdraw your simulated profits, you should leave a sensible amount in your account to cover any simulated loss you might expect. This is because your account cannot fall below the total allocated to you (in this example that would be $100,000).

Drawdown Help Center

Example 1
Simulated Balance in account = $110,000
Total Maximum Simulated Loss Limit = $10,000
Trader withdraws $4000 simulated funds. Trader gets $3200 (80%)
Simulated Account size is now $106,000
$106,000 – $100,000 = $6000
Trader has a $6000 total maximum simulated loss allowance or 6%

Example 2
Simulated Balance in account = $121,000
Total Maximum Simulated Loss Limit = $21,000.
Trader withdraws $10,000 simulated funds. Trader gets $8000 (80%)
Simulated Account size is now $111,000
$111,000 – $100,000 = $11,000
Trader has a $11,000 total maximum simulated loss allowance or 11%.

Does My Account Expire?

Your account does not have a time limit to complete any evaluation, or trade on your FT+ Trader account. However, your account would expire in the event that you do not place at least one trade in any 30-day period. Placing at least one trade, means both open and close of a position, to register activity on your account.

This provision is in place due to our partnered brokers, and is to ensure that the servers remain outage free and run as smoothly as possible.

Your account has no time limit for evaluations or trading. However, it will expire if no trades are placed within 30 days. A trade must be both opened and closed to count. This policy is required by our partnered brokers to maintain server stability.

Master Program Leading Scaling Plan

We believe our scaling plan for our relative drawdown programs is the best in the funded trading industry!
With our Master Trader scaling plan, you can request to scale your account all the way up to a starting account size of $2,500,000 in simulated funds.

Our Master Trader scaling plan lets you grow your account up to $2,500,000 in simulated funds—one of the best in the industry!

Your closed balance on your FT+ Trader simulated live account must hit the scaling target for your account (see scale table).
No open trades at the time of scaling request (account will be disabled while the scale is actioned, and re-enabled once complete).
To scale up, you must have 10% simulated profit in your closed balance. Each level requires 10% new profit, with no carryover from previous levels. Skipping levels isn’t allowed.
Subject to risk review upon scaling request.

Key Features of the Master Trader Scaling Plan

No time restriction
You can use your simulated profit to fund your next scale up
You can choose to withdraw your simulated profit – subject to your new static maximum simulated loss limit
Static maximum simulated loss limit always locked at scaled account size

The idea of scaling is that it gives customers much greater buying power, not more drawdown. This way, we can make scaling on the Master Trader Program simple without additional parameters.

How to Scale Up

Make the required simulated profit or greater on your ‘FT+ Trader’ account—10% on this program. Close your open trades, then open a support ticket and ask to scale up. Please allow up to 2 business days for this to be completed.

The idea of scaling is linked to simulated buying power. Simply put, some choose to increase their buying power to strive for larger simulated gains.

With this, there is always a concern that due to the increased buying power, traders will change their approach to risk. Because of this, all scaling requests are subject to our normal Risk Review Policy to ensure that those who request to scale are demonstrating the highest standards in terms of risk management within their account history

What We Allow

You can request to scale as often as once a day every day all the way up to $5,000,000 (subject to having purchased the enhanced scaling add-on at checkout)
You can request to scale on this program without fulfilling additional consistency rules
You can request to scale as soon as you have reached 10% simulated profit in your ‘FT+ Trader’ account

Withdrawals

You can withdraw before or after scaling, but withdrawals reduce your simulated account balance and do not count towards the balance required for scaling.

Here is an example

You have a simulated $100,000 account, and you hit the 10% profit target required to scale. You now have an account with a simulated $110,000 that is ready to scale. These are the steps taken to scale your account:

Ensure that you have no active trades and that you have the simulation profit target amount in your account – In this example, you would need $110,000 in your account.
Raise a support ticket and request to scale up your account.
We will temporarily disable your account access and subject to a favourable Risk Review, we will increase the simulated funds in your account. In this example we would increase the account to $210,000 from $110,000. Note that once this process has been started by support, it can take up to 48 business hours to complete.
We respond back to you letting you know that your existing account has been scaled up and is ready to trade again.

In this example, assuming you do not withdraw, if you have a simulated balance of $110,000 you can request to scale to a simulated starting size of $200,000. You would have the same amount of simulated profit on the new account, so the balance would be $210,000. ($10,000 in this example). The new static maximum simulated loss limit has been changed to reflect the new account starting size of $200,000.

In this example, you would now need to make an additional simulated $10,000 of profit to be able to scale on the simulated $200,000 level to the next level of $400,000. You would be free to withdraw simulated profit as suits your circumstances and trading risk profile.
