Passed FTMO 200k Challenge First Attempt!

Been a trader for over fifteen years and recently took up prop firm trading as I've always had my doubts.

It was not easy, as it took me just under eight months to pass.

I still have a long way to go, but will continue to try my best and work hard!

First attempt so it was a bit overwhelming at first. Encountered drawdown first three months and had to climb my way back slowly. It took some time but I told myself I wasn't going to rush and just kept thinking about the goal and task at hand!

Yeah, it isn't easy to trade by their rules...I just passed the 1st phase for a 100k account after 80 days. Didn't expect it to take so long. 5% more to go for the 2nd phase.
Everyone can see the chart, but only a few can actually read it.

do they pay when you make big profits?

It depends how you make them. They won’t tolerate more than 1% risk per trade, and a number of other things, some explained openly and others not.

But overall their reputation for paying out is clearly far better than most.
