Notes. Forex-first CFD firm; crypto CFDs are on the symbols list and weekend crypto trading is allowed when the market is open. Holding through market breaks over 2h is barred on Standard funded/Instant accounts but allowed on Swing accounts and during Challenge/Verification. EAs/algos allowed within the forbidden-practice limits. KYC (FTMO Identity) is done after passing, or at the first reward on Instant accounts. Crypto withdrawals have a $50 minimum. The crypto leverage and symbol table loads by JavaScript and couldn't be read, so those fields are null.
