'Platform 5' was for the grey labelling. Anyone with a licence can say MT5 / MetaTrader etc. {quote}This is FTMO's Futures offering, not CFD. {quote}cTrader require a legal opinion for each firm to say they can operate in the US.
futures ? They offer only futures to USA and not the rest of the world ?

FTMO has NOT introduced futures as of yet.
Their CFD offering is once again available to US through joint venture with Oanda.

Yes, but they are still CFDs, YM, ES, NQ are NOT available as futures contracts.
They will show as US30, NAS and SP500 and have the spot price, not the futures price.
Oh, hang on, I may have misspoke......let me read a bit further. It looks as if since Indices CFDs are frowned upon in the US, they may actually be offering futures.
Nice catch and I apologize.
This is actually huge..... a static DD with no consistency and able to trade actual futures??????

They are actually enforcing FIFO and no hedging.......this is about as legit as it gets for US.

Due to RFED is likely CFDs, futures cfd's based on exchange price exist

However, they have expiration dates and close only 5 days prior.

Appreciate all the input. I'm not entirely sure.

It seems to sit in an awkward spot. It's not as flexible as regular CFDs / Futures. It's far more expensive than the Futures gamblers are used to.

1. CFDs (Contracts for Difference)

  1. Definition: A derivative contract with no expiry date where you trade the price difference of an underlying (stock, index, commodity, forex pair, etc.) between entry and exit.
  2. Settlement: Always cash-settled. You never own the underlying asset.
  3. Expiry: No fixed maturity — positions stay open as long as you maintain margin and financing costs.
  4. Costs:
  5. Overnight financing (swap/rollover fees) if you hold beyond one day.
  6. Spread (broker’s bid-ask markup).
  7. Use case: Popular for short-term speculation, scalping, swing trading.

2. CFD Futures

  1. Definition: A CFD that mirrors a futures contract (like S&P 500 Futures, Oil Futures, DAX Futures).
  2. Settlement: Still cash-settled, but price is based on the underlying futures market.
  3. Expiry: Has an expiration date (just like real futures) — usually quarterly (e.g., March, June, September, December).
  4. Costs:
  5. No overnight financing fees (because the cost of carry is already embedded in the futures price).
  6. Still pay spread/commission.
  7. Use case: Better for medium-term trades where you don’t want daily financing costs.

Key Difference

  1. CFDs → No expiry, financing costs if held overnight.
  2. CFD Futures → Expiry date, no overnight financing costs (but futures pricing includes interest/dividends/carry costs).

In practice:

  1. If you want to day trade / swing trade short-term, regular CFDs are usually better.
  2. If you want to hold for weeks or months, CFD Futures are often cheaper since you avoid overnight swap fees.

Apparently FTMO’s offerings are a bit watered down. 1:30 on FX pairs and 1:10 on futures.
