I don't think so, but you might all be being a little naive. It certainly wouldn't be the first time.

Are Ftmo serious people ?
It isn't possible to tell, from this thread.

Nor from any other similar thread about FTMO in any other trading forum.

I've read all 151 pages of this one, and am very surprised that after all this conversation and with all these people trying out FTMO, apparently there isn't one known, established FF member who's ever been able to say something like "I've been with them for 3 months successfully and received 3 profit-sharing payments from them without a problem."

Not one.

After months, and 151 pages.

There's no evidence at all here that they're crooks, but it's increasingly weird that there's also no substantial evidence at all that they're real.

So you're asking a good question.

Don't be put off by any sarcastic answers suggesting otherwise.

Well, you may wait another 3 years, why would anyone wants to share their success with this forum. Instead why don't try it out for yourself it wouldn't cost much.
Most are not consistently profitable, those who can ain't gonna shown up here.

{quote} why would anyone wants to share their success with this forum.
Because such a huge number of people have participated in this thread, which is now nearly 3 years old.

I'd think that if FTMO were "real" (in the sense that was intended by the question I was replying to) by now there'd be ONE known member here who'd be able to say "Yes, it's real. I've traded one of their funded accounts for a few months and been paid a few times".

But clearly there isn't.

People will draw their own conclusions from that.

I'm not accusing FTMO of anything. I'm just saying that to me it looks increasingly weird that after nearly 3 years, here, not ONE member can apparently vouch for them in the sense that was obviously being asked about.

It looks like you disagree with me - and that's fine, too.

You haven't seen the thread fully, at least scroll back to few pages. You will find atleast 2 members vouched for that.

I'd say 99% of forum posters and social media "stars" who pass the challenge can't consistently maintain their account over time within the parameters and blow up soon after, but their ego is too big so they won't tell it here.

possible.

Even after passing, one should maintain the the MDL and overall loss within limits.

Profit can be 5 % or little as capital is big

You're more than entitled to be sceptical. But as Rmg says above you haven't looked very far to find evidence they are genuine. Not just here but even a quick glance on YouTube and you'll find loads of people get funding. Do they sustain it? I don't know.

But its been reported here and elsewhere that only 8% successfully complete the challenge. Just think about that - just 8%, which is pretty much inline with general stats that most people fail at trading.

You'll certainly not be one of those 8% until/unless you do a bit more digging. Plus its only worthwhile for those that can trade well in the first place. Until you or anyone can answer that positively in the first place the rest is largely academic

For doubters like you there will never be good enough and plenty enough evidence. And I doubt you went through all the pages because you would see evidence and testimonials of payouts.

What evidence would be good for you?
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

It's possible that only a few have manage to obtain funding.
Of those that do, there is nothing to suggest they would want to participate in this thread. particularly if they had been vocal and have subsequently lost it.
However if FTMO was a scam and they had refused a payment, then this thread would know about it!

Yeah, exactly, if you are consistent and really know what you are doing you should be able to withstand drawdowns that stay within the rules, considering that FTMO's rules are quite acceptable, in comparison with many other retail prop firms out there.

There's a lot of sarcasm here. Thank you guys for making my morning happy.

But seriously:
1. Some people here are already funded.
2. You can search for Tomas' replies in this thread.
3. There's much more than discussing FTMO. Like tips to pass, struggles, progress, strategies, etc. So there are lots of things to read so new members can use those information to their advantage.

Traders have enough basic information here to decide if the risk (entry fee plus time) is worth it.

Price of Admission can be partially or fully offset by trading profits generated elsewhere.
