Disliked{quote} Many possible reasons. Mine is because I use a corporate Mac OS and they use content blockers to block these kind of chat tools so I can’t even see the icon but I found a workaround. You were talking about Alex’s reply ! Hahaha...I just saw it. I don’t want to deal with him, he is even more psycho than me if that’s even possible.Ignored

Disliked{quote} haha Damn. If that's the case then Barnell definitely made some money off this thread before he was banned. here's your chance to start a new thread with a guru-ish title that must include the words "secret and high probability", then go on to talk about your life and what you learned over your 97 years of trading.Ignored

Disliked{quote} I have until December 11th to reach the goal of 10% of the challenge. But I don't think I can do it. As I didn't break any rules, I will be able to do the challenge again. Will I have a new 40-day term as well?Ignored
DislikedHey guys, does anyone here trade BTC? Been looking at it recently and just noticed it is not a 24/7 market on the FTMO server. There are a few times where the candle jumps in time, would I have to close my trades for these periods? Or could I keep them open?Ignored
DislikedI got a question to FTMO. If you have a running trade open during the challenge or a trader account and lets say one day you finished +8k. You hold the position over the close and keep your stop loss the same. Next day you hit a downswing and the position briefly puts you at -6k but comes back up. Youre still up on the position the whole time. Does that violate your max daily loss even though this trade was opened the day prior and never closed?Ignored
Disliked{quote} that's great news... I started on Dec 1! How did you hear this? I often seem to find FTMO news etc. here, rather than getting any communication directly from them... I don't see it on the blog or site, either. Tomas, in your much appreciated kaizen quest, perhaps relevant announcements like this could be emailed out? Or am I missing something on the existing site?Ignored
DislikedWhy can't one get exact quote with FTMO using pending orders? FTMO need to work on their platform. Hotforex give exact quote every time using pending order and FTMO need to do better.Ignored
DislikedHi Tomas, I like FTMO but there are some things that don't work very well such as: I ask you why your sometimes platform freezes, I work with 2 other brokers, Tradeview and Activtrades, they work fine but FTMO freezes, why ? SPX500 does not allow me to trade, why? I ask you why in my account some order numbers are not the same as the order numbers in Metrix? I hope that all our doubts are to improve the environment with FTMOIgnored

DislikedInteresting posts and comments -- I'm still (always) learning... I have a question for FTMO or anyone else who cares to advise... I've been exploring different prop traders and currently trading with one. I trade algorithmically -- 28 pairs using one or more EAs. At any one time there will typically be > 20 open positions. If I have to Exit those positions at market close every Friday then I'm toast. I've only found one prop trading service that allows trades to remain open over the weekend. So, my question to FTMO is: is it fair to say that FTMO's...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hey man, it seems FTMO is better suited for Day traders or short term swing traders at most. Funny how you're worried about not being able to hold trades over the weekend when they don't even let you hold trades overnight ( i think) Lol. Best to work with a firm whose conditions fit your trading strategy and style or see if you could make any adjustments. Good to know your EA can trade that much positions and still be able manage risk within "that" prop firm's tight limits.Ignored
DislikedI ask you how this difference can happen, 306 trades in MT4 and 205 trades in the Metrix with the same profit, $ 5,637.62 This is impossible to happen. This only happens to me? {image}Ignored
DislikedI have searched more than once on the FTMO site and here on FF. I will be asleep, but I haven't found this answer. With a fully funded account (example): - I have a profit of 3% - 2% withdrawal (which is divided with FTMO). After this withdrawal, what % remains, to reach 10% and obtain the doubling? That is ... withdrawing money, damage growth? Please, give me an official link to this info, sur site FTMO. ThanksIgnored
DislikedI have a question if you get funded say 100k are still a daily max loss of 5k and total max loss off 10k ore is it only the max loss off 10k....would be best if there where only the max loss of 10k would give you a lot more wiggeling room and easier to make more money...Cause i am to take two more free triels and then try a challenge...Ignored
DislikedWhat's the deal with FTMO providing Demo accounts after succeeding the challenge? Quoting their website: To avoid any confusion, FTMO provides to its clients demo accounts with virtual capital in all stages of the cooperation. That makes it look like their business is mostly making money of people failing challenges and taking part of these profits to pay the few who succeed. Any thoughts?Ignored
Disliked{quote} @Takisd -- your post got me to thinking. I don't know for sure, but I highly doubt FTMO (or other prop firms) make their money from challenge schemes. The challenges are simply a way of filtering serious traders from non-serious traders. And your C-book explanation makes sense to me. I used to wonder why the FTMO folks even needed us. I mean, if they are such great traders and have access to all this money then why don't they just trade it themselves? In fact, after you get funded, the bar goes way down and you don't even have to do such...Ignored
DislikedGotta say that the server performance I am experiencing in verification stage is very bad. Sometimes 3 second delay compared to my other live accounts. When I watch the FTMO feed only I got faked out twice because of price feed frozen giving me wrong price action to co-inside with a signal... Can only price watch on my other datafeeds because of lack of reliability. Not sure what it is, I am pinging fine to the server, I restarted all my internet stuff and my pc to cross check if it was me, but it appears not.Ignored

Dislikedhi i want to ask that, if i became trader each month my max loss reset?Ignored
Disliked{quote} Nope. Max loss doesn't reset monthly because your account balance doesn't reset either. It must never go below 10% of funded account balance (minus profits). On the other hand, daily loss limit resets every day.Ignored
DislikedSorry I have a question for anyone. I am not clever with numbers! If I have a 100000 challenge and first day I make a profit of 2000 on the next day can I make a loss of 7000 and still be OK or is it the maximum loss calculate on 5% of 102000 which I think is 5100?Ignored
DislikedHas anyone had problems paying these guys? I thought that I would get a challenge account but for some reason my card is being declined.
