Our 1-Step Express program is our 1-step challenge. Upon passing, subject to the usual processing and review, you will then receive a FT+ Trader simulated live account. In this final phase, you would be able to request a withdrawal from the account, paid in real-world funds. This will be subject to the usual review and processing.
Passing the 1-Step Express program is as simple as achieving the 10% simulated profit target required, whilst remaining within the Drawdown allowances on the account. You also need to trade in line with the Risk Policies, our Terms & Conditions and without the use of any prohibited practises.
The 1-Step Express program operates with a Relative Trailing Maximum drawdown allowance of 6%, and the Daily Drawdown loss limit of 4%.
The Relative Maximum Drawdown (Maximum Simulated Loss) on the 1-Step Express program is balance based. The Daily Drawdown (Daily Simulated Loss) is calculated from your closed balance of the prior trading day, when it resets at 23:59 server time, every day.
Our Maximum Simulated Loss works by trailing by 6% of the initial simulated balance from the high watermark. The high watermark is measured using the simulated account balance. Once the maximum simulated loss has reached the initial simulated balance, it no longer trails. The best way to explain the total trailing maximum simulated loss is by example: If you have a $100,000 account and hit the 10% profit target ($110,000), then withdraw $4,000, your account size becomes $106,000. Your total maximum simulated loss allowance would then be $6,000 ($106,000 – $100,000)
The drawdown types are all explained in more detail, in the Help Center offered by FT+, in the Drawdown Information folder, which can be found by clicking here.
The 1-Step Express FT+ Trader Simulated live account (the account you are upgraded to after a successful pass of the challenge) allows you to make a withdrawal request as soon as you're in profit on the account. The minimum withdrawal amount is $50, and you can make this request from day 1. All subsequent withdrawal requests would be every 7 days thereafter.
Your payout split for this program is 80% as standard, meaning when you make a withdrawal request, you will be paid 80% of the amount, in real world USD. For example, a $1000 withdrawal, at an 80% split, means you will be paid $800 in USD.
The 1-Step Express challenge comes with clear and simple rules:
- Profit target of 10% simulated profit
- 6% Relative Max drawdown (Maximum Simulated Loss)
- 4% Daily Drawdown (Daily Simulated Loss)
- You can hold overnight and over weekend
- No Stop Loss requirement
- No time limit (See below for 30 day activity rule)
Scaling Information
The scaling target for the 1-Step Express challenge is 10% on the upgraded FT+ Trader simulated live account (You cannot make a scaling request on a challenge account)
With our 1-step challenge scaling plan, you can request to scale your account all the way up to a starting account size of $2,500,000 in simulated funds. You can request to scale as soon as you have reached 10% simulated profit in your account. Scaling requests are subject to our normal Risk Review Policy.
Making a scale request for this program has the following conditions to be met in order to reach the next level:
- Your closed balance on your FT+ Trader simulated live account must hit the scaling target for your account (see scale table below).
- No open trades at the time of scaling request (account will be disabled while the scale is actioned, and re-enabled once complete)
-
The 10% simulated profit required must be in the closed balance at the time of the scale. You must have achieved 10% of new profit at that level in order to scale to the next level. Profit from previous levels is not counted towards the next level, meaning you cannot “skip” levels.
-
Subject to risk review upon scaling request.

All accounts offer no time limits to complete evaluations or trade the FT+ Trader Simulated Live accounts. The only restriction is account activity, meaning you must keep your account active in any 30-day calendar period. In order to do this, you must place at least one trade (both open and close) in any 30-day period, to keep your account active. This applies to all evaluations and all FT+ Trader Simulated Live accounts.
If the account is not active within the 30-day period, this will result in a hard breach of the account. Please note, you will receive an email 7 days before your 30-day inactivity period, explaining you need to place a trade on your account to reset the 30-day limit.
Please note, this is a Swap Free program, across any available platform.
