{quote} Besides, the conditions under the challenge and the funded are slightly different. This might be the difference between “life and death”. I said long time ago that good traders do not rely on luck. However, the interesting thing is that here are many people protecting and defending FTMO, yet nobody saying a word about having been funded and/or having made a withdrawal.
must admit everytime i read Mizzi it's like he's Community Manager... quite strange ahah,
but what he's saying is not wrong for all that,
and "cogs" puts finger on the true problem i think, all these people doing challenge with 80% winrate trades,etc. , each of us knows what kind of strategies they use 3/4 of the time, so the bankrupt or disrespect of rules is never far.


On youtube some guys show their funded accounts btw and ftmo doesn't show signs of scamming,etc at this time so let's be confident

{quote} This question has ben asked several times here. I still haven’t seen an answer. Either no funded accounts or they lose their account for some reason very soon after getting funded. Anyone?
Or they may have funded traders but to sustain it maybe challenging . The control plan set out by FTMO is challenging in the long run though it is a good way how to trade in a disciplined way.

I don't understand why trading with ftmo is difficult because they don't allow to trade ristricted events. On left i have the the calendar i see the event and time when he is gona come out. So what should i do simply i will not count trading on that time, or if i will do it i come after event is realised if there is a huge candle also i will not enter....

Hi, What about if you have an open trade/s prior to the event is released? Shall you close either loss or profit?

hmm, ok this is a bit unsure to me, I thought you can't adjust a position 2min before and after the news but I always thought you could have your position open... Guess I miss red then.... It would be more clear if they wrote somewhere that you have to be flat before the event...

You can hold your existing positions open and running during news, but you cannot open new or close existing positions within certain amount of minutes before and after the news. I also think that you not allowed to to keep open positions during the weekend. This applies only to funded acc. During challenge you can trade the way you want.

Hello everyone, this is my honest opinion about FTMO.

I passed both Challenge and Verification for my $50,000 funded account.

Challenge Account:
https://ftmo.com/en/metrix/11167833/?sharer=d827111ad

Verification Account:
https://ftmo.com/en/metrix/20902349/?sharer=bd86370d0

Both took me around 1 month to complete. Then I had to wait another 3 days for my Funded Account, which I eventually failed.

https://ftmo.com/en/metrix/2090088389/?sharer=57d821041

But as everyone can see, I still made a profit of $1600 and FTMO did pay me my 70%, which was around $1100.

I received the payment very quickly, around 2 days after I violated the Max Daily Loss rule.

In conclusion:

Pros:
+FTMO is a legit company, they paid me even though I violated the rule.

Cons:
+ Should offer more brokers.

Here is why I failed:

I mainly traded Gold, but since the Corona pandemic happened, the spread of Gold (on FTMO broker) was floating around 6-15 pips. So I decided to trade US30 which was not my strong point and it eventually led to my downfall.

There are many good brokers out there with super low spreads, I hope that FTMO could somehow add them to the selections.

I will wait for this Pandemic to be over so that the spread can get back to normal.

Here is the payment of $1121 from FTMO. I received it less than 2 days after filling for the invoice.

Again, legit company, but I wish they would offer more low-spread brokers like Exness.

I'm a scalper so low-spread accounts would be super beneficial.

I don’t think I will ever do that. I have more than enough own capital and I prefer to trade my own money and follow my own rules. Let’s hope no one gets burned and I wish everyone good luck. You really need that with this kind of rules.

Glad to hear they pay you even though you eventually violates the permitted daily loss. Just a question though, I thought you are supposed to get 70% profit + fees for the challenge for the first withdrawal? Or did you not entitled for this due to violating the rules?

Guys please...

If you are really interested and serious, take the time to watch FTMO's youtube video broadcast and all your questions will be answered. Stop relying on hear say and assumptions.

Good stuff..

Just a query if passed the verification in less than 30 days, say 15 trading days, will FTMO wait to compete 30 days before the final account analysis ?? Thanks.

After coming across FTMO I was really excited because they seemed a step above all the other firms out there. The only problem which is a big problem is the broker selection. Since IC-Markets is no longer offered I’ve been really upset with the spreads On this FTMO platform. The GBP/AUD & GNP/NZD have been flashing between 10-25/30...and it flashes back and forth so fast you don’t know what the hell your getting. Never seen something like this to be honest with you. I was also told to not trade metals or indices during these times which is ludicrous...you take away those assets and the GBP pairs what’s left?! ...I opened up a GBE Raw demo and they seem to be a lot better than FTMO’s platform...please let me know if anyone has any other broker they recommend to using? I looked at Admiral Markets but when I tried their demo it was taking forever for executions so I said f that! Admiral Markets doesn’t have good reviews on FPA either so...Thank you!
