what is the difference between ftmo and ftmo swing?

The ftmo swing account has no overnight fees so it is ideal for swing traders who keep trades open over several days. The swing account also has lower 1:30 leverage and lets you trade even on weekends.

FTMO swing is designed for swing traders such that there is no overnight fee

Swing trading has its peculiar risks, and FTMO knows this so they created the FTMO swing account to address these risks. An example of swing trading risk is when you open a trade and leave it open over the weekend and b th time you check on Monday, the price has gapped upwards/downwards. Such a gap can throw you into multiple pips of profit or multiple pips of loss.

The gap could be caused by news events that are priced into the market when it opens the next day. Because of this, FTMO lowered the leverage on the swing account so that you cannot open very big positions when swing trading and this is a form of risk management not only for you but also for FTMO. They need to protect their bottom line

It is not just a gap it is known as the new week open and this signify that there was no trading activity during this period and the gap can be between the close of Friday price and close of Sunday price, check the chart for example, I have marked the last price close level for Friday 10 April @ 1.17249 and the Sunday close at 1.16747 this gap is the real fair value gap as price often react at this gap , so if I may ask how did the swing FTMO account help in removing the gap

How good is FTMO?

FTMO is one of the most established proprietary trading firms and has built a solid reputation over the years for paying funded traders consistently. What I like is that it emphasizes risk management through clear maximum daily loss and overall drawdown rules, which encourages disciplined trading. That said, no prop firm is "easy money." Passing the evaluation requires a strategy with positive expectancy, consistency, and strict risk control. Before joining any prop firm, I always recommend reading the latest rules carefully, understanding the payout structure, trading restrictions around news or weekends, and making sure the firm's conditions match your trading style.
