On FTMO Futures Live accounts, a one-time buffer must be cleared before the first payout, and the buffer now has a stated size: it equals the Maximum Drawdown. Before, the amount was not published.
Once the buffer is cleared, profit above it can be withdrawn daily with no payout cap. The profit split stays 90/10 and the minimum payout is $20.
Full rules are on the FTMO firm page.
