Scaling Plan

FTUK supports level-based scaling on its Forex programs: Instant Funding uses a 10% scaling target at every level, One Step uses a 10% scaling target, and the Two Step path uses a 10% target in Phase 1 and a 5% target in Phase 2 before entering funded levels.

Profit share increases as you progress through levels (up to 80% on Instant Funding and One Step; Two Step is 80% throughout). FTUK advertises maximum scaling up to $6,400,000 across its scaling plans once traders meet the relevant targets and maintain compliance with drawdown, consistency and risk rules.

Maximum Daily Loss

Daily drawdown limits depend on the program: Instant Funding uses a 5% daily drawdown, One Step uses a 4% daily drawdown, and Two Step uses a 5% daily drawdown in both evaluation phases and funded levels.

FTUK states daily drawdown is calculated using the higher value of balance or equity at the end-of-day snapshot (22:00 UTC), which means open profit can increase the daily-loss threshold but open losses still count toward it.

Maximum Overall Loss

FTUK applies different overall drawdown models across programs: Instant Funding uses a 6% relative max drawdown, One Step uses an 8% relative max drawdown, and the Two Step program uses static maximum drawdown limits of 10% (Phase 1) and 5% (Phase 2) calculated on equity.

Drawdown Model

FTUK distinguishes between relative (trailing) drawdown and static drawdown. On One Step and Instant Funding, the trailing max drawdown is based on balance (not equity) and only moves upward as profits accumulate. On the Two Step program, drawdown is static and calculated on equity, meaning floating profit/loss is included in the drawdown check.

Commissions

FTUK charges a flat $4 per standard lot commission on Forex pairs only. There are no commissions on commodities, indices or cryptocurrencies.

Swap fees are removed on TradeLocker and Match-Trader (overnight and weekend holding costs are therefore simplified on those platforms); traders using other platforms should check contract specs for any platform-specific financing where applicable.

Instant Funding: News trading is permitted at all stages with no restrictions.

One Step & Two Step: FTUK applies a 10-minute no-trade window around major economic releases (from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after). Trades opened or closed inside this window are treated as a soft breach where profits are erased and losses are not compensated.
