Roadmap from Verified to Supreme
| Phase | Target | Typical actions | Milestone check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1) Verified start | Clean, consistent month | Trade your A setups only, keep open risk capped | Flat into Day 14 for first reward request |
| 2) Prime runway | 4 cycles at ≥4% | Journal each cycle, keep drawdown small | No failed Rewards Account over last 4 months |
| 3) Prime active | Enjoy 90% split + free Challenge | Consider 200k + 200k path for a $400k merge | Track allocation vs $600k ceiling |
| 4) Supreme runway | $400k active + 3 more cycles ≥4% | Hold Prime for ~3 months, plan drawdown cushion | Immediate reward unlocked at Supreme |
| 5) Supreme active | Operate with no Max Daily Loss | Keep process discipline to retain status | Cap at $1M allocation, consider Quantlane assessment |
Eligibility, compatibility and keeping your status
Who can participate
Premium Program is available to FTMO US traders who meet general eligibility requirements and the Premium milestones. US residency or US-incorporated entity is required for FTMO US participation, along with standard KYC and a valid US Tax ID for rewards.
Scaling Plan compatibility
Premium and Scaling are separate programs. You can benefit from both at the same time if you meet the conditions for each.
Why Prime matters for your P/L curve
- 90% split raises the payout per unit of edge. On the same R-multiple profile, net rewards increase versus the baseline split.
- $600k ceiling gives room to apply your edge to more simulated capital once you prove consistency.
- Free Challenge + 10% discount lowers evaluation friction, which helps compounding your program footprint.
- 5% rollover bonus can top up the next Rewards Account after 30 days, which slightly softens drawdown math.
Supreme risk features: how to use them wisely
No Maximum Daily Loss
Freedom does not equal aggression. Create your own daily stop for intraday variance control. Many pros cap the day at −2R or a similar threshold, then stop trading to preserve the week.
Immediate reward
Faster access to rewards improves cash-flow. Keep records of each claim and reconcile against your bank statement and Account MetriX to stay audit-ready.
Merging for $400k: rules to remember
- Supreme needs an active $400k Rewards Account. You can reach this by 2 × $200k merge or by purchasing a single $400k Challenge when you are Prime.
- Four $100k accounts cannot be merged to apply for Supreme.
- If you merge a Prime account with a Regular account, your Supreme progress resets. Plan merges before starting your Supreme runway.
Prime benefits unpacked
| Benefit | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| 90% reward split | More net reward per profitable cycle. Combine with Scaling if eligible. |
| Max allocation $600k | Room to scale the same strategy without reinventing your plan. |
| Free Challenge (same size) | Use for parallel strategy development or redundancy planning. |
| Unlocked $400k product | Gives you a direct path to the $400k requirement for Supreme. |
| 10% discount | Reduces marginal cost of new evaluations during scaling. |
| 5% rollover bonus | Boost to the next Rewards Account after 30 days, withdrawable then. |
Risk and discipline still decide everything
Premium is a multiplier on a consistent process, not a substitute for one. Keep these guardrails in place:
- Stable position sizing with hard limits on total open risk.
- One or two sessions per day that historically show edge. Avoid low-quality hours.
- Event-day rules that cut risk ahead of CPI, NFP, FOMC or similar.
- Journal every withdrawal cycle to detect drift in R-multiple and win-rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I qualify for Prime status in one sentence?
No failed Rewards Account in the last 4 months and at least 4 reward cycles at ≥4% simulated profit each on a single order.
What extra do I get with Supreme vs Prime?
All Prime perks plus a higher allocation ceiling up to $1M, no Maximum Daily Loss, Immediate reward, official recognition, and a pathway to a Quantlane assessment.
Can I merge four $100k accounts to reach the $400k required for Supreme?
No. The $400k must be a single $400k or a merge of two $200k accounts. Four $100k does not qualify for Supreme.
Is Premium compatible with the Scaling Plan?
Yes. They are independent programs and you can use both if you meet each set of conditions.
Do I keep Premium permanently once I get it?
Premium is tied to a specific order and is not time-limited, but it can be removed if you fail the associated Rewards Account, fail 3 accounts across any stage, or breach the Premium Program terms.
Does Supreme remove all risk rules?
No. Supreme removes the Maximum Daily Loss parameter, but other rules and good risk practice still apply. You should keep your own daily stop to control variance.
