Notes, changes, open questions

Loss floor

Worked example for new Growth USD 100,000 evaluations from the 5 November 2026 cutoff. End-of-day trailing drawdown is $3,000. Starting room is $3,000, not $100,000.

The floor updates at the end of the day and locks at the initial simulated capital. The same $3,000 is published for evaluation, Sim-Funded, and Live. An end-of-day trail does not mean an intraday breach is ignored.

Accounts created before the cutoff, including successor accounts, keep the previous $3,500 drawdown.

Daily reset

Evaluation: no daily limit. None (verified).

Sim-Funded: a $2,000 soft daily limit closes positions and pauses the account until the next trading day. It does not terminate the account. A maximum-drawdown breach still terminates.

Rules

Programme: FTMO Futures Growth, USD 100,000. New evaluations from 5 November 2026. Not the CFD 2-Step account.
Drawdown: $3,000 end-of-day trailing. Locks at the initial simulated capital. Same new value on evaluation, Sim-Funded, and Live.
Evaluation daily: None (verified).
Sim-Funded daily: $2,000 soft pause. Not termination. A max-drawdown breach still ends the account.
Evaluation consistency: Best day at most 40% of total net profit. Not a breach. You trade further to pass.
Sim-Funded consistency: None (verified).
South Africa: Sim-Funded and payouts: yes. Live funded account: no.

Watch-outs

The account name is not the amount you can lose. Three thousand dollars of end-of-day room is the starting constraint on a nominal $100,000.
Half of accumulated profit stays out of a request, each request is capped at $3,000 on Growth 100K, and at least half of every request has to be new profit from the current cycle. A 'daily payouts' line does not describe those gates.
South African traders who pass do not move to Live on the checked policy. Plan on the Sim-Funded rules, including the soft $2,000 day and the payout caps.
If the evaluation was created before 5 November 2026, 11:30 SAST, the older $3,500 drawdown and $250 payout-day profit can still apply, including on a successor account.

Changes

Before / after Growth 100K drawdown and payout-day profit. For new evaluations after the cutoff, end-of-day drawdown on USD 100,000 moved from $3,500 to $3,000, and the qualifying payout-day profit moved from $250 to $300. Cutoff: 5 November 2026, 11:30 SAST (official 04:30 ET; November EST, UTC−5). Evaluations created before that time, including successor accounts, keep the old values.

Before / after Related 150K figures, not this row. The same note lists USD 150,000 end-of-day drawdown moving from $5,000 to $4,500, and payout-day profit from $300 to $450. That is a different size from this USD 100,000 row.
