## What this firm publishes

FTUK is a prop firm based in Houston, Texas, whose lead product is the Flex Challenge, a pay-after-you-pass model: a setup fee from $9 upfront, and the rest only after you pass. Alongside it FTUK runs an Instant Funding account with no evaluation, a One-Step and a Two-Step challenge on simulated forex, commodities, indices and crypto, plus futures accounts. Trading runs on MetaTrader 5, Match-Trader, TradeLocker and FTUK XT, and US traders are accepted, though MetaTrader 5 is not available to them. FTUK Inc. was established in February 2021.

The FTUK rules differ by program. The Flex Challenge is a one-step evaluation in sizes from $5,000 to $100,000 with a 4% profit target, 1 minimum trading day, no time limit, a 5% daily drawdown and a 6% trailing drawdown. Instant Funding uses a 5% daily and 6% trailing drawdown. The One-Step needs 10% with 4% daily and 8% trailing drawdown, and the Two-Step uses 5% daily with an 8% static drawdown. Every trade must stay open at least 30 seconds, and martingale, grid, HFT, tick scalping and arbitrage strategies are banned whether or not an EA is used. Copy trading is allowed from your own outside accounts but not between FTUK accounts, and the limit is 3 forex and 3 futures accounts at once.

The FTUK profit split is 80% on funded One-Step and Two-Step accounts, paid every 2 weeks after 10 trading days. Instant Funding starts at 65% and Flex at 60%, rising to 90% at Level 6, with payouts on demand once the consistency score is met: your biggest winning day must be 20% or less of total profit at Level 1. The level rate is paid only when all profit at that level is withdrawn in one request. Payouts are usually approved within 24-48 working hours and arrive in 1-3 working days, by USDT or USDC below $500 and RiseWorks above. Only verified users move to the funded stage on the One-Step and Two-Step. Purchases are non-refundable, and prices for the Instant Funding, One-Step and Two-Step accounts were not found on the pages read.
