Some challenges force you to trade their way.
We rebuilt the ThinkCapital Dual Step Challenge so it works with yours.

More flexibility. Cleaner rules. And for the first time ever:

🤖 Expert Advisors are now allowed on all MT5 challenges

If you trade systematically, algorithmically, or with strict execution rules, this is a major upgrade.

What’s changed and why it matters

Two clear paths. One funding goal.
You choose how you trade, not how a rulebook tells you to.

No hidden tricks. No artificial fills.
Just consistency from evaluation to payout.

If you’ve been waiting for a challenge that adapts to your trading system instead of fighting it, this is it.

Team & Traders,

I’m proud to share a major milestone for the Finotive Group.

Finotive Markets — which we originally built back in 2022 purely to power Finotive Funding internally — has now officially been granted a Full Investment Dealer License under the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius.

For context, the Mauritius FSA is a long-established, internationally recognized financial regulator, operating for over two decades and regulating global investment dealers, funds, brokers, and financial institutions across multiple jurisdictions. It is widely regarded as one of the most credible regulatory authorities outside of Europe, with strict capital, compliance, reporting, and governance requirements. This is not an easy licensed to obtain — and that’s exactly why it matters.

From the start of the New Year, once we complete the final backend and infrastructure preparations, Finotive Funding will be backed by a fully regulated broker. This is a huge step forward for our traders, our technology, and the long-term security of our ecosystem.

This milestone strengthens everything we’re building:
• Greater regulatory credibility
• Stronger long-term stability
• A more robust execution environment
• A more powerful future for the entire Finotive ecosystem

What started as an internal solution has now become a fully regulated brokerage — and that’s a massive achievement for the Group.

More updates will follow in the New Year as we roll this out properly. This is only the beginning.

— Oliver, CEO Finotive Group

🚨 Monthly Trading Competitions Are Coming! 💚

Starting this January, we’re launching brand-new monthly trading competitions where traders can battle it out for the top spot and win funded challenges worth up to $200,000 — plus plenty more prizes throughout the year.

Whether you're sharpening your strategy or aiming for the leaderboard, this is your chance to show what you’re made of. Big prizes, big opportunities, big energy… every single month.

More details dropping soon — get ready. 💚

FTMO has officially completed its acquisition of OANDA Global Corporation, one of the world’s leading online trading groups. The deal was finalized on December 1, following an 8-month regulatory approval process involving five regulators.

What’s Confirmed

• FTMO now owns OANDA Global Corporation.

• OANDA will operate as a fully standalone business.

• Transaction value not disclosed.

• Deal approved after all regulatory conditions were met.

Why It Matters

• FTMO expands from modern prop trading into regulated brokerage.
• OANDA brings licenses in eight major financial hubs, including New York, London, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney.
• This creates a new model in the industry: Prop trading + regulated brokerage under one group.
• Strengthens FTMO’s long-term plan to build a global trading powerhouse.

About OANDA

Founded in 1996, OANDA is one of the longest-standing online trading platforms, offering:

• Multi-asset derivatives and FX
• Market data and analytics
• Services for both retail and institutional clients

OANDA has held regulatory licenses across the world’s most active financial markets and was owned by CVC since 2018.

Leadership Statements

• Otakar Šuffner, Co-Founder & CEO, FTMO: “FTMO remains focused on modern prop trading, where we rank among the global leaders. Our long-term objective is to build a trading powerhouse serving traders at every level prop trading, regulated brokerage, and the tools that connect both. OANDA, with licenses in eight major financial markets, is the perfect fit for this vision.”

• Marek Vašíček, Co-Founder & CTO, FTMO “We are excited to work with OANDA’s team. Their proven expertise in regulated markets, strong risk management framework, and client-focused approach complement FTMO perfectly. Together, we are creating a group with capabilities and depth that have not existed in this industry until now.”

• Gavin Bambury, CEO, OANDA: “Today marks a pivotal moment as OANDA joins the FTMO ecosystem. Our strength has always been rooted in operating as a trusted, regulated global group. This acquisition accelerates our growth and enables us to deliver more innovative, integrated, and intelligent trading experiences for clients around the world.”

PFM Assessment

• This is one of the most significant strategic moves in the retail prop trading ecosystem to date. FTMO now controls both a fast-scaling global prop trading franchise and a fully regulated multi-asset brokerage platform, a structural advantage unmatched by competitors.

• PFM will continue monitoring post-acquisition integration, regulatory implications, and market impact as FTMO expands its presence across both retail and institutional trading infrastructure.
