FTMO Launches Dedicated Mobile Trading App in 2026
FTMO has released its long-awaited native mobile application for iOS and Android, marking a significant upgrade to the trader experience for one of the world's most recognizable prop firms. At Ask Propfirm, we've reviewed the app's features and gathered early trader feedback.
App Overview
Available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play as of March 2026, the FTMO Mobile App is designed as a companion app, not a full trading terminal. It complements MetaTrader-based trading rather than replacing it.
Core Features
| Feature | Available |
|---|---|
| Account dashboard & balance | Yes |
| Daily drawdown tracking | Yes |
| Profit target progress | Yes |
| Trade history review | Yes |
| Payout request submission | Yes |
| Challenge purchase | Yes |
| Push notifications (drawdown alerts) | Yes |
| Live charting | No (redirects to MT4/MT5/cTrader) |
| In-app trading | No |
What Traders Are Saying
Early reception on Reddit and Discord communities has been largely positive, with several caveats:
Positive feedback:
- Real-time drawdown alerts are the standout feature, with traders reporting that push notifications prevented account breaches during unexpected volatility
- The payout request workflow reduced processing time compared to the desktop web interface
- Clean, intuitive UI that reflects FTMO's design standards
Criticism:
- No integrated charting — traders must switch between the FTMO app and MT4/MT5 for full analysis
- No EA management or scripting support (expected, as this is a companion app)
- Limited customization for notification thresholds
The Broader Mobile Trend in Prop Trading
FTMO is not alone. Across the industry, prop firms are investing in mobile infrastructure to retain the growing cohort of mobile-first traders:
- Apex Trader Funding launched its account management app in late 2025
- Topstep (topstep.com) has offered mobile account monitoring via its web-responsive dashboard
- Several newer firms launched mobile-first from day one
The race is now shifting from "does the firm have a mobile app?" to "how good is the risk alert system?"
Why Mobile Drawdown Alerts Matter
The most practically valuable feature in the FTMO app is real-time drawdown notification. FTMO's evaluation model uses:
- Maximum drawdown: 10% of initial balance (static)
- Daily drawdown: 5% of initial balance (static)
Missing these limits by even $1 results in account termination. Push notifications that alert traders when they are within 1–2% of the daily limit can be the difference between passing a challenge and restarting from scratch.

App Download & Availability
The FTMO mobile app is free to download. Traders must authenticate with their existing FTMO account credentials. Available in 14 languages at launch, with additional language support planned for Q2–Q3 2026.
Dr. Algo's Assessment
The FTMO mobile app is a meaningful quality-of-life improvement, not a gimmick. The drawdown alert system alone justifies the download for any active FTMO challenge participant. The absence of in-app trading is not a flaw — it reflects a deliberate choice to keep trading on regulated, full-featured terminals.
