I heard the FTMO One-Step is easier to pass than the two-step. Is that true?
Kaitai Sensei
The One-Step is only 1 stage, so it’s true that you can pass faster. But it’s not “easier” – the target profit rate is set at 10%, which is quite high. You need to fully understand the requirements before choosing it.
