The short version
What actually separates them
2 fields on the record split FTMO and Funding Traders. Everything else either matches or is not on the record yet.
A daily loss limit ends the session, not the account — but it decides how many attempts a bad open costs you.
How long a funded account must run before the first withdrawal is allowed.
Identical on both: drawdown model.
Not comparable yet: consistency rule, starting price, activation fee, trader profit split — at least one of the two firms has no figure on record, so we do not draw a conclusion from it. A blank here means we have not confirmed the rule, not that the firm has none.

| At $50,000 | FTMO | Funding Traders |
|---|---|---|
| Max drawdown | Not recorded | Not recorded |
| Profit target | $5,000 | $5,000 |
