FTMO: Payouts & profit split
The funded FTMO Account pays an 80% profit split, rising up to 90% via the Scaling Plan. Payouts are available on demand, with the first profit split requestable after the first ~14-day period; you can set your own payout cadence after that. Funded capital reaches $200k and scales further over time.
The gotcha
The 90% split isn't day-one — you reach it through the Scaling Plan after consistent funded performance. Budget for 80% at the start.
What happens if you break it
This is informational rather than a hard breach trigger — it shapes how you should trade, but crossing it alone won't void the account.
