From the beginning, FTMO's goal has been to help skilful traders solve the problem of undercapitalization.

138 payouts in a row
But it's not just about individual payouts. We also like consistent traders who can make money over the long term. For them, we have a Scaling Plan. Our most consistent trader, Luis from Spain, has already made more than 138 payouts with us. As for "longevity", our trader Daniel has been with us since 2016, when few people had heard about modern prop trading.
Millions a month
The fact that we mean well is proven by the statistics on our payouts over the last four years. Interestingly enough, our most frequent payouts are made on Tuesdays (and not Mondays). So far, the most payouts in one day, up to 196, were made at the very beginning of this year, when we paid out $628,317 to traders on Tuesday, January 2.
Monthly payouts have moved from an average of 305 in 2020 to 1,713 payouts in one month in 2023 (we then sent 2,753 payouts to our clients in January 2024 alone).
Also, the amounts we pay out to our traders are very interesting. We are making you increasingly happy here, too. While in 2020 we paid out a daily average of $39,584, in 2023 it was already $209,973. At the beginning of 2024, the amount we pay out daily exceeded USD 300,000. On a monthly basis, it gets even more interesting, so while in 2020 we sent an average of $851,044 per month to trader's accounts, in 2023 it was already $5,782,324.
The best month was January 2024, in which we sent a whopping $9,643,269 to our traders. Finally, we can only add that from 2020, when we paid $3,404,178 for the entire year, the total amount paid out has increased 22-fold to a whopping $75,170,210 by 2023.
We are happy to be able to help traders around the world in this way. The numbers mentioned and the amounts of money paid out reassure us that our efforts do not go to waste and that it is all worthwhile. We keep our fingers crossed for you in your trading and hope that these statistics will give you energy and motivate you to do even better. Trade safe!
