Doji Funding vs FTMO: customisation, rules and access to rewards

Doji Funding and FTMO offer different structures for trading with simulated capital. Doji focuses on configuring the evaluation before purchasing it. FTMO separates products with defined objectives and conditions. A useful comparison starts with a specific product from each company and checks what is required to pass the evaluation and request a reward.

Updated on

Products and account sizes

Doji offers one-phase and two-phase evaluations with configurable targets, loss limits, profit sharing and consistency. The catalogue contains all 19 sizes across its nine published or initial configurations, ranging from $5,000 to $200,000. Those 171 rows do not represent every custom combination available through the configurator.

FTMO distinguishes 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant. The first has one evaluation phase, the second adds Verification, and the third allows results to count towards a reward from the start, subject to its rules. Comparing account labels alone can therefore hide material differences in access to rewards.

For account prices, use the Doji Funding challenge tables and the FTMO tables. Price, currency and discount eligibility must correspond to the same product and size. A lower fee does not by itself mean a more favourable loss allowance.

Differences in trading rules

FTMO 2-Step has phase targets of 10% and 5%, a 5% maximum daily loss and a 10% maximum loss. In 1-Step, the daily limit is 3% and the maximum loss limit trails the balance at the end of the day. Its consistency requirement limits the best day to 50% of total profit; Instant uses 30%. These conditions should not be applied interchangeably across products.

With Doji, check the configuration purchased. A limit's percentage and its calculation method are different things: a static limit does not move in the same way as a trailing limit. Its sources also disagree on some initial settings and reset times. The full Doji profile explains these differences rather than presenting one interpretation as a universal condition.

Withdrawals and account continuity

At Doji, earning a profit does not mean the full result is immediately withdrawable. There is a 3% buffer, consistency requirements and per-request caps: 2% for the first two payouts, 2.5% for the third and fourth, and 4% for the fifth, before the profit split. Verification and payment-provider processing times also matter.

After five payouts accumulated across all accounts, Doji decides whether to invite the trader to its Live programme or end funded access and require another evaluation. This should not be read as unlimited continuity or a guaranteed Live invitation. Individual commercial terms for that programme are not public.

FTMO's official 2-Step explanation includes a refund of the initial fee with the first reward. This does not make every FTMO product refundable or remove the eligibility requirements for each reward.

Platform and preparation

Doji currently operates on DXTrade; MT5 is listed as coming soon. FTMO lists MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView in its getting-started guide. Its Free Trial can also be repeated to become familiar with the process. Check the options available when ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Do Doji Funding and FTMO have identical rules?

No. Compare specific products. With Doji, the configurator settings and the conditions confirmed at purchase also matter.

Does this comparison prove that one company is safer?

No. It describes conditions and operational differences. It does not certify solvency, future payouts or the absence of risk.

Where can I find the full conditions?

Read the Doji Funding and FTMO profiles and their challenge tables. Before purchasing, also check the current terms of the selected product.

Max Drawdown

Touching the maximum floor permanently closes the account and prevents further payouts. Static references the starting balance; trailing follows peak equity; EOD measures session close. The configurator starts both models on Intraday, while the Rulebook describes Static for 1-Step and trailing for 2-Step. The purchased Dashboard configuration prevails.

  • 1-Step: End-of-day trailing
  • 2-Step: Static
  • Instant: Intraday trailing on closed balance. It does not reset after a Reward withdrawal.
Profit Split

Locked at purchase and applied to realised net profit. Above 80% requires Doji Coins under the Rulebook. Each configuration’s percentage is listed in its challenges.

90%

Daily Drawdown

Touching the daily limit closes positions and pauses trading without ending the account. EOD is checked at session close and blocks the following session; Intraday monitors floating equity. Static may lift its floor after a breach. The Rulebook and agreement use 17:00 New York; help says fixed 21:00 UTC and the blog says 00:00 UTC. Confirm timing and Static reactivation in the Dashboard.

Termination after 30 calendar days without placing, modifying or closing an order or position. Logging in or holding an untouched position does not restart the count.

30 days

Consistency Rule
Yes

Funded only; compares the best net realised day with cumulative profit since activation, without payout resets. It blocks eligibility until met, without closing the account by itself. Configurable 10-50%, initially 30%. Daily caps at 30%; the Rulebook leaves Weekly uncapped, although the blog contradicts this. Presets: Standard/Default and Budget 30%; Power 20%; Easy 40%.

Yes
  • 1-Step: To pass the FTMO Challenge: 1-Step or to be eligible for a Reward on an FTMO Account, your profit from the Best Day must not represent more than 50% of your total profit.
  • 2-Step: No consistency rule.
  • Instant: To be eligible for a Reward, your Best Day must not represent more than 30% of your total profit. The count restarts from zero after each Reward.
Hold Weekend
Limited

Overnight and weekend holding must be purchased as separate add-ons and carry into funded. Without the relevant add-on, automatic closure at the cut-off is not itself a breach.

Limited

Standard

In an FTMO Challenge or Verification, you don't have to close your positions during the weekend. However, once you become an FTMO Trader and get an FTMO Account, you are required to close your positions just before the markets close for the weekend or if the rollover (market break) is longer than 2 hours.

Swing

No restrictions.
