- Headquarters
- Netherlands — Homepage names Nexdata-Solutions B.V. (Goeman Borgesiuslaan 77, Utrecht, Netherlands) as operating entity and FTUK Markets Ltd (Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia) as simulated-trading provider. Founding year 2021 is the firm's own 'operating since' claim; not independently verified.

- 2021
- Profit split
- Flex Challenge funded: 60% -> up to 90% across 6 levels (FAQ; homepage says up to 80%). Instant Funding forex: 65% -> 90%. Instant Sim futures: flat 90% (FAQ; homepage calculator 80%).
- Payouts
- On demand once requirements are met (consistency, profit, winning days, buffer); no fixed schedule. Homepage claims average payout time of 1 hour. Futures Instant Sim: min gross request $500, per-request caps $1,000-$3,000.
- Payout buffer
- Instant Sim: buffer that must remain $1,000/$2,000/$3,000/$4,500 (25K/50K/100K/150K), 6% payout target, min gross $500, caps $1,000/$2,000/$2,500/$3,000, later payouts need new profit of 50% of the request. Forex: account must be flat and in profit; single full-level withdrawal must be at least 10% of level profit for the level split.
- Consistency
- 20% — Flex Challenge: none in evaluation; funded best day < 20% of requested profit at level 1, rising to 30% (levels 3-4) and 40% (levels 5-6). Instant forex: same 20/30/40% ladder. Instant Sim futures: 20% plus 5 winning days. Homepage table shows 'Unlimited' for most rows (template error).
- Contract scaling
- Forex: no contract scaling, lot based; 10% profit moves up one level (higher split and consistency limit). Instant Sim futures: starting max position 2/4/8/12 minis (20/40/80/120 micros) for 25K/50K/100K/150K, scaled on end-of-day balance; thresholds not published.

What we could not fully verify
- Main program picked for top-level fields: Flex Challenge (forex, pay after you pass). Top-level assetClasses lists forex and futures. Four programs are separate products via 'program': Flex Challenge, Instant Funding, Flex Futures, Instant Sim.
- PRICES: no per-size list price is published on ftuk.com or the help center (shown only in the checkout configurator). All evalPriceUsd are null. Prices were not guessed. Tier rows exist so targets/drawdowns/fees are available; the site should treat null price as unknown.
- 'Start for $9' (homepage and Flex page, tied to the $10K Flex account) is read as a promotional entry/setup price for the Flex evaluation, not a list price; the help center says only 'starting from just $9'. Not used as evalPriceUsd.
- Homepage shows normal price $599,99 and price today $296,41 (comma decimals, read as 599.99 and 296.41) with no account size or program stated; the same pair appears on the Instant and Instant Sim pages. 296.41 is ~50.6% below 599.99, not the advertised 30% (FTUK30 would give 419.99); it may be a stacked or auto discount or a template placeholder. Not used.
- Homepage/Instant Sim page show an activation fee of $672 next to 'No Activation Fee'. Help center explains it: $672 is the Flex Challenge 100K reset fee, which equals the Flex activation fee (also 56/98/204/374 for 5K/10K/25K/50K). Flex tier activation fees use these (derived from reset fees; the Flex page confirms only $98 for 10K). So $672 does not apply to Instant Sim (help center: no activation fee). Activation for Flex 200K is null (not published; FAQ lists sizes only up to 100K while homepage lists 200K).
- Flex Challenge targets/limits computed from %: target 4% (homepage banner/promo says 2%, rules table, FAQ say 4%; 4% used), max drawdown 6% trailing from highest closing balance until it locks at starting balance (labelled eod as closest category), daily drawdown 5% (reset 22:00 UTC, based on higher of balance/equity). USD values = account size x %. Rules page lists 5K-200K (homepage) while FAQ lists 5K-100K; 200K included with a note.
- Instant Funding (forex): max drawdown 6% trailing/locking, daily 5%, no profit target (0) computed from % (help center 'drawdown limits' article; Instant page itself shows 'Unlimited' placeholders). Per-size prices and activation fee not published (null; activation fee not stated, Instant page lists none). Scaling article starts split at 65%.
- Profit split conflicts: homepage 'up to 80%'; Flex FAQ 60% -> 90%; Instant FAQ 65% -> 90%; Instant Sim FAQ flat 90% vs homepage calculator 80%. Flex 'standard' rate when withdrawing in small amounts is 60% (Instant 65%).
- Homepage/Instant/Instant Sim comparison tables show 'Unlimited' for nearly every rule (profit target, drawdowns, payouts, weekend, news): treated as a rendering/template error and ignored in favour of help-center articles.
- Flex Futures (futures, one-step evaluation, pay after you pass): ftuk.com/futures-flex-funding could not be fetched and the help center articles for it ('One Step Evaluation (Futures)', drawdown) contain no profit target, drawdown, daily loss or contract data. Known only: sizes 50K/100K/150K (reset article; 25K not confirmed), monthly subscription $99/$199/$299 (billing renews monthly, help center 'Futures subscription fees'), activation fee flat $130 after passing, reset $39/$79/$119 (evaluation) and $239/$319/$399 (sim funded), min trading days 1. Targets/drawdowns/prices are null. The monthly subscription was not copied into evalPriceUsd because 'Start for $9' conflicts and billing is monthly; note evalBilling top-level refers to Flex Challenge (one_time) while Flex Futures looks monthly.
- Instant Sim figures (EOD drawdown $1,000/2,000/3,500/5,250, daily loss $750/1,500/2,000/3,000, start contracts 2/4/8/12 minis) are from help center in USD; profitTargetUsd 0 because there is no evaluation (a 6% payout target of $1,500/3,000/6,000/9,000 must be reached before the first payout). maxContracts shows minis only; micros are 10x. Price null. Minimum 30 s trade duration, no overnight/weekend, bots not allowed. Min trading days 1 for futures.
- Top-level activationFeeAmount and resetFeeUsd are null because they vary by size and program. hasDailyLossLimit true (5% forex, fixed USD futures). dataFeeMonthly null (not stated).
- Affiliate: signup page https://checkout.ftuk.com/affiliate-register/ (info page https://ftuk.com/affiliate): tiered 10% (1-25 referrals), 15% (26-50), 20% (50+, VIP), 'plus account discounts'; payout every 30 days; cookie duration and minimum payout not stated (FAQ shows placeholder text).
- News: allowed on forex and Instant Sim (Instant Sim manual only). Weekend flag reflects forex programs; Instant Sim must be flat before the close. Leverage forex 1:50 evaluation, 1:30 funded (Flex FAQ), metals/indices 10:1, crypto 2:1.
- Homepage claims 'operating since 2021', 30,000+ traders, $12M+ paid: self-reported, unverified. Accounts are simulated; not intended for US or UAE residents; MT5 not available to US traders.
- 19 tiers (all FTUK programs) removed from the dataset because no list price is published outside the checkout configurator; the firm is listed without tiers until prices are read from a rendered checkout.
