{quote} I was pretty much there yes. But on 2 days. I made a few mistakes obviously by not cutting back heavily and just winging it to the end
once you pass the test, to meet minimum no. of days, you could have traded some micro lots and closed.

All are lessons anyways.
Intraday only.

Yes, I accept my part in this but the Metrix fucked me. As I said, I would not have opened the trades that put me over if it had updated every 10 min as it says it does.

FTMO doesn't owe me anything, but I won't be doing any further challenges etc. It gets in the way of my regular trading, its a neat program but they shouldn't have the metrix if they are updated sporadically and not as per the writing on their own site that way i wouldnt have developed the habit to check it after every trade.

I mean dosen't update in real time you have updated now and if you come after 5 min update it again to see positions maybe you wont get that what you want, in my opinion over-leverage is killer of accounts definitly!

The question is, why the company that does $50,000 in payouts to Funded Traders every day have such a fuckups with servers and statistics for the paying customers. Takisd did hit the nail on the head in his write up and he is absolutely right to be mad.

I personally was not able to execute my trades because of "Common Error" WTF?

low volatility and low ADR pair can be traded with higher lot size.

Higher volatility and higher ADR pars, lot size shall be limited.

One should make some calculation of lot size based on ADR and volatility

It's difficult to take anything you say seriously seeing as you've only had mostly bad things to say about FTMO and the program as a whole (even when things are going well).

Lol you're the guy who was asking for statistics too.why should the success rate of others matter to you if you're indeed confident in your abilities and expertise? It's like you're already looking for an excuse to cling to in the event of failiure. Fuck statistics.

I've experienced the common error thing with both global prime and pepperstone in the past and these are well established firms, talk more of a young company like FTMO whom seem to still be finding their footing, unfortunately.


I hope they can come to an arrangement with Tak, seeing as he's been doing well up until this snag. However, I'm not too optimistic about the outcome, as FTMO somewhat advises on the Metrix page to look to actual results on the Trading platform rather than only the Metrix, which is purely "informative".
Luckily they also advised to reach out in the case of an error, so..... We'll see.

I have some faith in them, they generally handle things properly and are more generous than not, but this has pissed me off royally. My only real gripe is that i feel i was forced into a box and i had a plan around that box to make things work and the edges of the box failed me by a two way mistake 1) I didn't pay closer attention and 2) their metrix failed me pretty bad. I don't know what outcome will occur, the one thing I am certain of is I won't be going through the testing etc. again I think as its time consuming and affects my income. If I was a poorer fellow in desperate need of more capital this type of thing would easily destroy my psych. I can understand why when some tech thing goes wrong people scream scam immediately and spam the forums, it really messes with your brain when things like this happen.

I care about what is important to me, stats, server fuckups, common errors, inability to enter trades, etc....I am a customer and it is FTMO thread.

I don't get it, so much whining.. why don't people track their own stats? It's your business, you should take due diligence through your own means and not expect others to be responsible for giving you the means to your business. Personally, I'm not relying on their tools and I'm keeping my own records. It's hard work? sure... so what? success requires hard work.
As FTMO clearly states, those are just tools they put at your disposal "as is", to help and try to give a good service, that's it. If they weren't there you wouldn't even have a clue, and would have to find a way of trading around the rules anyway.
Are they responsible for what you do with your account? YOU are the sole responsible for what you do with your trading and your account, and YOU are responsible for making sure you stay within the rules they have laid out.

Lol how convenient for you to only talk about 6% target and ignore the max Lot limit, daily loss limit of 2% compared to the more flexible 5% from FTMO, the 3% max DD limit compared to FTMO's 10%. Not to mention, TST has a weekly loss limit too?
Oh and you have to Pay a MONTHLY NON REFUNDABLE FEE of $375 for the 100k account compared to FTMO's one time refundable fee of $610+....... But yeah, cite the 6% target as your only reason why TST is better, forgetting that FTMO gives you free trials if you even reach that 6% in the challenge, with even better/ more accommodating risk parameters.
Lol of course TST give unlimited time to pass with all these parameters to hinder one from growing at a significant pace.



LOL FTMO, y'all need to f**kn pay me for defending your honour like this.
