First, tell me about the basic profiles of Fundora and FTMO!

Kaitai Teacher

Okay! The two companies differ greatly in their founding dates and bases. Fundora is a new player originating in Japan, while FTMO is a veteran headquartered in the Czech Republic.

Fundora and FTMO have different backgrounds and strengths. Let’s start by comparing their basic information in a comparison table.

Fundora’s Features and Strengths

Fundora was established in March 2025 as the only domestic-based prop firm in Japan. Having a base in Japan is a significant advantage for Japanese traders.

Fundora’s biggest strengths are the following 3 points:

• 24/365 full Japanese support: They also respond to inquiries via LINE, allowing you to focus on trading without language barriers
• Maximum $400,000 (approx. 60 million JPY) in trading capital: Twice the capital of FTMO, allowing you to aim for larger profits
• Corporate contract support: You can contract as an individual business owner or corporation, allowing you to enjoy tax benefits

For example, with a $400,000 trading capital and a 5% monthly profit, you would earn $20,000 (approx. 3 million JPY) in profit, and with an 80% share, you would earn $16,000 (approx. 2.4 million JPY). This amounts to $192,000 (approx. 28.8 million JPY) on an annualized basis, a substantial amount.

FTMO’s Features and Strengths

FTMO was founded in 2015 and is the oldest and largest prop firm in the industry. Its over 10 years of experience and more than 150,000 traders do not allow other companies to catch up.

FTMO’s biggest strengths are the following 3 points:

• Credibility as the industry leader: With over $100M (approx. 15 billion JPY) in total withdrawals, the risk of withdrawal rejection is extremely low
• Maximum 90% profit sharing: If certain conditions are met, you can receive 90% of the profits, the highest level in the industry
• Flexibility in platform choice: You can choose from MT4, MT5, cTrader, and DXtrade

Furthermore, in 2025, they acquired OANDA, and are progressing towards the integration of broker functions. This is expected to lead to the development of new services that transcend the boundaries between prop firms and brokers.
