FTMO vs My Funded Futures: Compared Rule by Rule for 2026
Two firms, two operating philosophies. FTMO was founded in 2015 out of Prague; My Funded Futures followed in 2023 from USA, and the product design reflects that lineage. FTMO focuses on forex, indices, metals and crypto on MT4, MT5 and cTrader, while My Funded Futures covers US futures on the same execution stack. That alone makes them shortlisted together only when a trader is choosing an asset class rather than a firm.
At 100K: FTMO from €399, My Funded Futures from $169.

Verdict
Pick FTMO if you want MT4, MT5 or cTrader access to forex, indices and metals, or a static drawdown gives you a fixed floor to plan against.

Traders who plan to hold overnight or through news should read the specific policy on each firm's site before committing capital.
