The FTMO website is denying me access. it claims my ISP is suspicious but i have been using this ISP on several high security websites without any issues. i have messaged them on this but can anyone relate to this .
That happened to me, too, sometime last year. I think I posted it on this thread to ask if it was just me. But it got sorted, eventually.

For the second time I just hit break even again on the challenge with one week left. So might sit it out again. Always have one huge loss and then I just regain it over time. Meh, one week might be to risky for me. I am really amazed by some people here in how many trades they get it. Like 2 to 15 trades, it's insane for me. I do so much trades to be honest.

Don't worry mate you're not alone!

I started today, no real problems but only managed 0.5% increase. I've been trading for years and I thought it would be easy but it's not so easy!

In my first challenge where I didn't make the target but was positive I did 622 trades. In my second where I will not make the target again but will be positive I made 688 trades. My plan is actually to always build up slow with small lots to make a buffer and then take a risk, if the risk doesn't turn out bad luck I will wait for restart of the challenge. If it pays off I can go for the target but else I find it too much risk in this timespan to use big lots.

Ive been thinking about how to handle the verification or the funded account. As you talked about you have a plan that you are working on sounds like it could work ...

Problem is that one can build up a maximum loss buffer but not a daily loss buffer except on that particular day of course. That is the one downer IMHO! It is a shame that one's built up account balance doesn't help with the max daily loss.

{quote} im extremely disappointed with how FTMO just ran my case. I had trades open wednesday night and servers started lagging. I screen recorded the whole thing and tried to take profits on the trades but wouldn’t let me. EURCAD mooned and i had larger scalps open but the lag was unreal which caused me to go over the daily loss on my LIVE account. i sent an email immediately to customer support and the guy guarenteed i wouldn’t lose my account because they knew it was an issue. Waited 5 days for an email and they finally emailed me saying my case...

for those wondering still waiting for an email on my second investigation. Been over a week. Only one person from FTMO was genuine enough to actually help my case and dig furthur. The other support members just made me go through a run around. One told me he set an appointment with the head of support at 3am i stayed up and the appointment was never set. They told me i would have a free challenge to do worst case scenario but i would rather keep my live fund. It doesn’t make sense to give me a free challenge when they were already going to refund the money since i beat the challenge. Going to try and get two challenges and buy a third but i would much rather have my real account.... probably going to deny my claim with proof but hey what can ya do

Hi, abdurr...

It seems to me only fair for FTMO to make a correction on your funded account (like they did for S4F's verification) since there were irrefutable technical problems from their end. I think, though, that FTMO's preference is for traders to input SL's which, admittedly is harder for scalpers such as yourself to do.

agreed i think it’s because i had a live fund they are making it a bigger issue. At the end of the day it should be the same as s4fs since we both experienced the same issues at the same time. Its not fair i got kicked from mine because of that but im hoping they make things right.


They refunded the account. Vouched for FTMO
