Exact pricing, drawdown limits, profit splits, and rules change often and aren't listed here — confirm both firms' current terms on their official sites before deciding. FundedView is an independent journaling tool, not affiliated with FTMO or The5ers.

Which should you track in your journal? Both.

Whether you go with FTMO or The5ers — or run accounts at both — the thing that actually determines whether you keep a funded account is your process, not the firm. FundedView lets you add each account separately, tag its type (Prop Eval or Prop Funded), and log every trade with setup, session, risk, and rule-following.

That means you can compare your own results across FTMO and The5ers — win rate, average R, expectancy, and real profit after eval fees and payouts — instead of guessing which one is actually working for you.
