Phase 1: FLEX Challenge (Evaluation)
- Profit target
4 %
The Instant page also advertises "Pass Flex with Just 2% Profit" (promotion); the regular target is 4%.
faq.ftuk.com- Daily loss
5 %
from the higher of balance and equity at day start
Reset: 22:00 UTC
a breach ends the account
Plus the Account Protector: if the floating loss of open positions (per instrument or in total) falls below −2% of the starting balance, FTUK closes the positions; for FLEX Funded and Instant Funding accounts bought from 27 Jan 2026 a second trigger terminates the account (the FLEX article states generally: first violation soft breach, second hard breach). Daily limit based on the higher of balance and equity at 22:00 UTC.
faq.ftuk.com- Maximum loss
6 % · other calculation
See the firm's rule text.
Stops: Starts at −6% of the initial balance and trails the highest closing balance (high-water mark); once it reaches the initial balance it locks there.
FTUK calls it a "Maximum Trailing Drawdown" and does not say whether the high-water mark is measured continuously or at the end of the day.
faq.ftuk.com- Minimum trading days
1 day
Trading day per FTUK: a 24-hour window (22:00–21:59 UTC) with at least 0.5% profit on the stage's starting balance.
Conflict: the FAQ states 1 minimum trading day in the evaluation, the Flex Challenge page and the homepage say "None".
faq.ftuk.com- Time limit
unlimited
faq.ftuk.com- Consistency rule
none

Simulated account with profit shareSIM
"Funded" means here what the firm itself states below.
- Account type
Simulated account
Per the checkout all accounts run exclusively in a simulated environment with no live market execution; per the terms FTUK provides no live trading itself but may, at its discretion, enter traders' trades in its own account. Per the homepage you trade simulated capital and get paid "real Rewards".

faq.ftuk.com- Consistency rule
≤ 20 % · other formula
payout waits until met
Requirement for every payout on the “funded” account: the best trading day must be less than 20% of the total profit requested (levels 1–2; levels 3–4: 30%, levels 5–6: 40%). Example: for a USD 2,000 request the best day must be below USD 400. Carrying a partly closed position overnight resets the score.
faq.ftuk.com- Trading days per payout
none
faq.ftuk.com- Profit split
60 %, up to 90 %
Level 1 60%, level 2 65%, level 3 70%, level 4 75%, level 5 80%, level 6 90%; one level up per 10% profit. The level's rate applies only when the level's profit is withdrawn in a single request (at least 10%); several smaller requests get 60%.
The price card on the Flex Challenge page shows "Up to 80%", the rules table on the same page "Up to 90%".
faq.ftuk.com- First payout
On demand once the “funded” consistency requirement is met; no minimum trading days and no profit target on the “funded” account. KYC before the first payout.
The Payout Locker article (per FTUK it applies "only to challenge programs") requires 10 trading days after each level-up before the first payout and then locks the loss limit at the level's starting balance; FTUK does not say whether it applies to FLEX.
faq.ftuk.com- Payout rhythm
on request
Payouts on demand with no fixed window. Per the FAQ approval usually within 24–48 working hours, funds arrive in 1–3 working days depending on the method; the account is view-only while the request is pending. The About and Instant pages advertise "no minimums".
faq.ftuk.com- Minimum payout
– not documented for this version
- Scaling
Six levels: each 10% profit raises the profit split (60 → 90%) and the consistency limit (20 → 40%). FTUK currently offers no add-ons for FLEX.
faq.ftuk.com- Inactivity
At least one trade opened and closed every 30 days, otherwise an automatic hard breach. Breaks of 30 to 90 days must be reported to support beforehand; longer breaks are decided case by case.
faq.ftuk.com
Trading rules
- News trading
allowed
The add-on articles additionally say "Purchased add-ons can be used at all levels, but news trading is excluded"; FTUK does not explain this further.
faq.ftuk.com- Holding overnight
allowed
Holding overnight is allowed, but only whole positions: if a position is partly closed during the day, the rest must be closed by 22:00 UTC (positions opened within 30 minutes on the same instrument count as one). A violation resets the consistency score; repeated violations may breach the account.
faq.ftuk.com- Holding over the weekend
allowed
faq.ftuk.com- EAs / bots
allowed
EAs and bots allowed. Prohibited with or without an EA: martingale and anti-scaling, tick scalping, reverse, latency and hedge arbitrage, grid trading, HFT; every trade must stay open at least 30 seconds. The terms, by contrast, say traders should "not rely on signals, bots or software".
faq.ftuk.com- Copy trading
restricted
Allowed only from your own non-FTUK account legally tied to you; copying between FTUK accounts, even your own, is prohibited, as is placing the same trades on several FTUK accounts.
faq.ftuk.com- Leverage
Forex 1:50 / 1:30 · Metals 1:10 · Indices 1:10 · Commodities 1:5 · Crypto 1:2
Forex 1:50 in the evaluation, 1:30 on the “funded” account; other values the same in both phases. "commodities" = non-metal commodities.

Paid challenge on a simulated account · the fee is usually lost when a rule is broken · firms are generally not supervised · CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
