What this means for a systematic strategy
FTM sells speed: on-demand payouts with a 24-hour guarantee. The cost sits in two rules. The 1-step trailing drawdown is balance-based and tightens as the balance grows, so a strategy that passes quickly runs on a smaller floor than it started with. And every funded account carries a consistency rule, 15% on instant funding, which requires seven or more similar days per cycle.
Is Funded Trader Markets worth it for a systematic strategy?
2-step only, with the consistency threshold for that plan confirmed in writing. Skip instant funding for a coded strategy: 15% ties GOAT for the tightest standard ratio on these cards.
