{quote} I think daily loss is the most difficult area trading with FTMO. Congratulations
I agree, I only had 2% drawdown overall, that rough day actually came when I was already well in profit.

Looks like FTMO are up to no good here! {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image}

FTMO's reason doesn't sound that unreasonable seeing as a few people have complained about the lag issue here and someone even jokingly stated a scenario where one could profit of the said data feed lag.

FTMO just needs to communicate better and also sort out these technical faults soonest

{quote} I saw you bash FTMO at other places even before you joined FTMO. And afterwards, you have something insignificant to complain about A L L T H E T I M E. when last did you not complain about FTMO? And imagine your mindset - to make them look bad. If someone needs to form an opinion as to whether to join FTMO or not, the posts of someone who is always complaining about FTMO matters less. We are here sometimes hoping that people who are consistently making it will come post but these are some of the reasons they won't. The toxicity of the whiny...
What are you talking about? My only complain with FTMO is the spread. And on other thread I tell my friends there, FTMO is the best prop firm at the moment, I even have my wife pass the challenge. I have her certificate of passing posted here somewhere around March or April. I never have this complain before, as there are more broker options. Now we are just stuck with one.

I noticed you are a new FF member created in May and same with your other cheer leader friend. I suspect both of you are an FTMO employee of some kind to be a keyboard defender of FTMO? I wonder how much you get paid? Or better yet, "Hello TraderOtakar" DON'T BE TOO DEFENSIVE OR YOU WILL BLOW YOUR COVER!!!

Some of us here, like other real traders. We want the best trading condition when we do business. And this includes the spread. If this is a problem to you and we can't post here because you are I R R I T A T E D. I suggest you go to the Fidelcrest thread, there are no one posting there to annoy you.

If you wanna be an FTMO cheer leader, by all means go ahead. However, let us the ones with concerns voice out our opinion of the service so that it will improve.

Seriously, what trader is not concerned with spread? Might not be a trader at all.

Thx, but it doesn't help as I don't have access to ForexFactory's underlying configuration to add another Broker to the Config

I'll just wait for them to add it after I sent the form for adding a new one...

Something screwy with their platform - not sure how this can add up to $26.42: {image} Anyone else having this issue? cheers all maahome
Isn't that stuff calculated by MT4? I think that doesn't have anything to do with the server?

How do the Account details look in FTMO-Website?

Did you target any daily profit?

During challenge and verification period?

When you are funded trader, the profit target does not matter, it is only the losses, that is important.
Intraday only.

That account is a 100K challenge account #1.

I have 2 more paid challenges waiting to be traded.

Based on challenge 1 outcome I will either look to trade the next 2 challenges at the same time or redo number 1.

Trading the funded account will likely be far easier without a profit target but one still must derive a profit at month end for it to be worthwhile.

My plan is currently to finish the Trial that's running until 8th and then start a new 100k challenge.

I can see that now the summer is over as I made 7.15% yesterday, so finishing the Challenge should be piece of cake

We can still trade more after finishing the 10%, right? So we could go for 20%, 30% or more profit just to have something to do for those 10 trading days we have to do....
