True cost = evaluation + activation. "After 1 failed attempt" adds one reset (or a new evaluation where resets aren't offered). List prices before any sale or code; firms run promotions often, so confirm the final price at checkout.

2. Drawdown: how you can fail

FTMO: EOD trailing (locks at initial balance).

"EOD" (end of day) means the limit is set from your balance at the close. "Trailing" means the floor rises with your best balance, so profit you give back still counts. "Intraday trailing" follows your balance in real time, including open trades.

3. Payout rules

Growth: 90/10, every 4 days, 4 days >= $150 (50K), withdraw 50%, cap $2,500 (50K)
no consistency rule on Sim-Funded

In short: you keep up to 90% of profits, subject to the conditions above.

Plan notes

Growth plan. Pro 50K: $139/mo, reset $129, DD $3,000, $1,000 hard DLL, 100% withdrawable, cap $5,000, every 5 days.

Is FTMO worth it? The attempt math

Attempts	You pay (50K, list)	vs the course
Pass first try	$119	2.4× the $49 course
1 fail, then pass	$228	4.7× the $49 course
2 fails, then pass	$337	6.9× the $49 course
3 fails, then pass	$446	9.1× the $49 course

We don't publish star ratings or testimonials. "Worth it" depends on how many attempts you need, and that's the part you can change: learn the rules and size from the drawdown before you pay.
