Legends Trading Group vs FTMO Futures: prop firm rules compared

On Legends Trading Group and FTMO Futures the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at Legends Trading Group and FTMO Futures a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On FTMO Futures the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A hard daily loss limit ends the evaluation: one day that loses that much fails the account. FTMO Futures' Pro plan sets it at $1,000 on $50,000. Legends Trading Group and FTMO Futures' Growth plan have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

FTMO Futures starts the trading day at 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. Legends Trading Group's Apprentice and Straight-to-Master plans cap any single day at 30% of total profit, so it takes at least 4 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $900 of a $3,000 target. FTMO Futures' Growth plan caps any single day at 40% of total profit, so it takes at least 3 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,200 of a $3,000 target. FTMO Futures' Pro plan caps any single day at 50% of total profit, so it takes at least 2 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,500 of a $3,000 target.

Legends Trading Group requires at least 4 trading days on Apprentice and 10 on Straight-to-Master before a pass; FTMO Futures sets no minimum number of days.
