The fine print, in plain English
Taken from their own pages. These are the rules most likely to cost you money.
Buy on ftmo.oanda.com, not ftmo.com
Americans are served by FTMO US, a separate company with its own site. Choose “United States” in the region selector on ftmo.com, or go straight to ftmo.oanda.com.
OANDA's regulation doesn't cover you
FTMO US runs on OANDA infrastructure, but their own disclosure says you have no client relationship with OANDA Corporation and get none of its regulatory protections. Like every prop firm, it isn't overseen by a financial regulator.
What we found
Things you won’t read on their homepage
- 01
FTMO US is a different company from the FTMO most reviews describe. The evaluation is sold by JV Prop Corporation (Wilmington, DE), and funded accounts are run by OANDA Prop US Corporation. Rules, prices and platforms can differ from ftmo.com, so check them on the US site.

Sold by JV Prop Corporation (Wilmington, DE (FTMO US)). This is a paid evaluation on a simulated account, not a regulated product. “Accepts US residents” means the firm sells to Americans. It does not mean a US regulator oversees it. Rules and prices change, so check the firm’s current terms before you buy. Found something out of date? Tell us and we’ll re-check it.
