CRYPTOSPIKE 
FTMO features for crypto traders.
Funded Capital, Real Profits
FTMO provides trading capital of $10K–$200K. You keep up to 90% of profits. For crypto traders, this means you can trade meaningful lot sizes without putting personal savings at risk. A 500-pip crypto month on a $100K account generates substantial profit splits at minimal personal risk.
Crypto-Friendly Overnight Holding
FTMO allows overnight and weekend holding of crypto positions — essential for swing traders. Unlike many day-trading prop firms, FTMO supports multi-day crypto setups. Weekend crypto gaps (often $20–$50+) can work in your favour if you understand the macro setup going into Friday close.
MT4 and MT5 Supported
FTMO traders can use MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. MT5 is recommended for crypto due to its superior charting and built-in economic calendar. The execution is through FTMO's liquidity bridge, which provides competitive Crypto spreads typically in the $0.15–$0.30 range during standard hours.
Scaling Plan
FTMO's scaling plan rewards consistent profitable trading. After 4 profitable months (with at least 10% profit in each), your account balance increases by 25%. Starting at $100K, this can grow to $200K+ over time — amplifying your crypto trading profits without any additional challenge fees.
Free Retry Option
FTMO offers a free retry if you fail the challenge due to losing days — not due to violating rules. This forgiveness mechanism is valuable for crypto traders who experience a high-volatility news event (like a surprise FOMC or CPI) that temporarily pushes against a position before recovering. Fixed violations are not eligible for free retry.
Performance Dashboard
FTMO's account dashboard tracks your profit factor, equity drawdown, trading consistency, and daily P/L in real time. For crypto traders following signal services, this transparency lets you identify which signal types are performing best on your FTMO account and adjust your position sizing accordingly.
Passing the FTMO challenge with crypto.
Choose your account size
FTMO offers $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, and $200K challenge accounts. For crypto trading, the $25K or $50K account is the optimal starting point — large enough to generate meaningful profit at sensible lot sizes, small enough that the 5% daily limit ($1,250 or $2,500) keeps risk proportional. Avoid the $200K account for your first challenge: the absolute dollar amounts amplify psychological pressure.
Calculate your crypto lot sizes
Before trading, calculate your maximum lot size based on FTMO's rules. Formula: (Account Balance × 1%) ÷ (Stop Loss in points × $10). Example: $50,000 × 1% = $500 risk. 40-pip SL × $10/pip = $400 per lot. Maximum = 0.12 lots. This keeps each crypto trade within 1% risk, far inside the 5% daily limit, and allows 3–4 concurrent positions.
Trade during peak liquidity
FTMO crypto trades perform best during the London–NY overlap (13:00–17:00 BST). Spreads are tightest, volume is highest, and moves are most decisive. Avoid trading crypto in the Asian session and around the Sunday open — thin liquidity produces unpredictable spikes that can breach daily limits without meaningful trade setups.
Never exceed the daily loss limit
The 5% daily loss is the most common reason traders fail FTMO challenges. On a $50K account, that's $2,500 — equivalent to three 1% losses in a single day. If you hit 2 consecutive losses (2%), stop trading crypto for that day. Come back fresh tomorrow. Protecting your daily limit is more important than chasing recovery trades, which account for the majority of FTMO challenge failures.
CryptoSniper signals + FTMO account.
Using pre-defined signal levels removes the biggest cause of FTMO challenge failures: emotional, unplanned trading. CryptoSniper provides exact entry, SL, and TP for every crypto signal — making FTMO rule compliance automatic. When the signal says the SL is 40 points, you know your dollar risk before entering.
The 93% accuracy rate means consistent small profitable trades that build FTMO's required profit target (10% in Phase 1) without needing large risky positions. Our traders have reported passing the $50K FTMO challenge in 14–21 trading days using this approach.
