{quote} the personal details also gets shared, so. I tried that. Anyways, I feel this is safe, just copy and paste.
You just make it visible and then everything else is set to "Me Only" so its private. No one can see anything other than the pair and % gained or lost. Not your TP, not your SL. If you love copy and paste set up your own person ftmo challenge thread. I'm sure tha'tll be popular with people who like to follow other people's challenges.
The best strategy is a profitable one.

Yes it does....the 50k challenge I have on there now is the new server. And to double check I just added my next 100k challenge that I'm currently doing and started yesterday, it connected with no issues. You still select the server LMAX. Connects right up.

I'll take the bait this one time, closed p/L i'm up 1.2%. I'm still long AU, gold, and AN in floating. September is end of US government fiscal year. So there is usually good follow through for trend traders/short term swing traders (trades lasting a few days).

Hi, navk. Besides showing all and sundry that you're a good trader (maybe even better than Paul Tudor Jones?), where are you going with this?

Are we to expect a report every single day, like on your trial account, for the Challenge and Verification? Same if you decide to add another account?

How about doing a journal instead if you're not inclined to put up a TE?

{quote} Another one of my true stories, lol. My first teacher who taught me how to trade was a psychology professor at San Fran- Berkeley. (I learned to trade futures by crashing on his couch cause his g/f was my martial arts instructor, so I was lucky to get in-person teaching). Anyway, he subscribed to those trading/finance magazines andI recall an article I read called "Where do all the profitable traders go" . Most pros or even full-time traders with profitable long term strategies stay clear of forums, youtube, etc. Too much hate online, everyone...
Very well said. All those youtubers and instagramers are just increasing the rate of failing retail traders with their pretentious lifestyles. All successful traders just keep working on honing their skills and diversifying their income portfolios and not engaging in countless online arguments

hi there.

No, I decided not to report the daily outcome.

However, I will for sure post here the journey. From challenge to verification and then as Trader.

Actually many people posted their journey which encouraged me to start with FTMO.

{quote} Passed the +10% profit target today successfully completing the trial 1 day before the it ends. One more free trial to go and then I'll start the challenge. Can't show the client metrix as it has not updated since Friday so below is the TE which is public to view. {image}
Passed the 3rd free trial successfully. I think I'm now ready to start the challenge.

I wanted to do 3 free trial runs to be certain my trading strategy can fit into their risk parameters. I also treated the free trial as a challenge aiming for 10% profit instead of the min 5% required. It's taken some adjusting, but its been possible so after the free trial ends next week I'll start the $100k challenge.

EDIT: TE is public on my profile.

It is harder and harder to find useful info regarding FTMO with so many drama that clogs up this thread

Some of that "drama" is useful info regarding FTMO.

From it, members can learn two important things.

1. FTMO and their customers have been plagued by intermittent technical problems for months.

2. Many members have tried to get support online, have waited for over an hour and then FTMO has closed their support for the day without attending to them.

Does that tell you anything about their attitude to customer service?
