Read the full summary
FTMO vs Apex is no longer simply CFDs versus futures. FTMO offers both CFD Challenges and a separate Futures service, while Apex offers futures evaluations. For CFDs, FTMO’s 2-Step has 10% and 5% profit targets with a fixed 10% maximum-loss amount; its 1-Step instead uses end-of-day trailing maximum loss and a Best Day Rule. For a futures-to-futures comparison, FTMO Growth and Pro use end-of-day trailing drawdown, while Apex offers EOD and Intraday paths. Apex’s current EOD evaluation lasts 30 calendar days; its Performance Account has separate payout conditions. Compare the named product and account stage, not a brand-wide drawdown label.
