Prop firms

FTMO

FTMO is the best-known prop firm in forex. Its evaluation rests on a profit target, a maximum daily loss and a maximum overall loss, all measured against the starting balance — a static drawdown, easier to read than a trailing one.

The rule that catches people out

The daily loss resets every day: knowing mid-session how much room is left before you hit it is the calculation nobody does correctly in their head.
