How FTUK challenges work

A FTUK challenge is a paid evaluation phase where you trade simulated capital under FTUK's rules — profit targets, daily drawdown, max drawdown, and time limits. Pass the evaluation and you move to a funded account and keep a share of the profits. At most prop firms, challenge and funded accounts trade with virtual (simulated) money.

FTUK's evaluation structure (1-step, 2-step, or instant-funding) depends on which program you pick. Each challenge card above shows the exact steps, the profit target per phase, the time limit (if any), the daily and overall drawdown limits, and the profit split you'll earn once funded. We pull these values directly from FTUK's official rulebook and keep them up to date.

Industry-wide pass rates on prop firm challenges sit around 10%. The traders who pass most consistently treat the challenge as a paid stress test of an already-profitable strategy — not as a way to learn one. If you're newer to trading, the FTUK matcher tool can help you find a challenge with rules that fit your style before paying for the evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions about FTUK Challenges

A FTUK challenge is the paid evaluation phase where you prove you can hit a profit target without breaching drawdown rules. Once you pass, you move to a funded account and keep a share of the profits. At most prop firms, challenge and funded accounts trade with virtual (simulated) money.
FTUK typically offers multiple formats — both one-step and two-step evaluations are common across the industry, and some firms also offer instant-funding options. The exact structure depends on which account size and program you pick. The challenge cards above show the current steps, profit targets, and time limits for each tier.
Profit splits in this industry typically range from 70% to 90% to the trader. Higher splits are usually unlocked through FTUK's scaling plan after consistent payouts. The exact current split for each program is shown on the main FTUK review page along with payout frequency and minimum payout amounts.
Most prop firms enforce both a daily drawdown limit (around 4–5%) and a maximum overall drawdown (around 8–10%). The make-or-break detail is whether the overall drawdown is static (calculated from starting balance) or trailing (follows equity highs). Each challenge card above shows FTUK's exact rule for that account size — read it carefully before paying.
You lose the challenge fee. Some firms offer discounted resets or free retries — check FTUK's own rules before you buy.
News trading rules vary across firms and across FTUK's individual programs. Most prop firms restrict trading during high-impact news (NFP, FOMC, CPI) and some require positions to be closed before weekend gaps. FTUK's specific trading rules are listed on the main FTUK review page in the Trading Rules section.
