{quote} ScottMiller - New Member! 1 Post about FTMO. Sounds like FTMO desperation move.
I was thinking the same thing. I mean I am having a wonderful experience with them, so I don't doubt the credibility of the company, but yeah, first post on FF and he is a funded prop trader? I'm not buying it.

Does anyone here know how to delete the account on this forum? I got no replies from the admin despite several attempts to contact them.

Hey guys, some days ago I posted. I said i am stopping FTMO 100K challenge as i do not have enough days to meet the profit target. I did around 7 % profit after 10 days and then as i was not in desk the earned profits reduced. Other loss objectives are not violated but have 2 more days left. So i decided to take next free challenge after US elections.
I did the same thing. Wasn't gonna risk going negative to push myself over 10%. The break will be good, too. Knock it out of the park on the retry.
The best strategy is a profitable one.

FTMO's response is the perfect example why people shouldn't just try and defend every single thing they do wrong. They've made the changes before with server spreads and now working on another issue so things run smoothly. On a separate note, taking responsibility is undervalued these days. So to Tomas's latest post, I give two thumbs up. It's exactly what I respect.

And a shout out to Koop for sticking with me and making a simple, yet valid argument. Take note, people.

Thank you for the link, however there is no specific explanation on how the maximum loss (not the maximum daily loss) is calculated. I would assume the maximum loss will be the accumulation of daily losses during the challenge and verification period respectively. But I would not make conclusion based on my said assumption.

Hi Everyone,
Just would like to share my experience with FTMO.
I found the whole process structured well.
Best part was the profit split was on time. I did not have to wait or chase them.
I would highly recommend them for traders who are serious and looking forward to trade with big size accounts.
Cheers!

{quote} I try to keep the average max loss per trade at 1%. This applies to an aggressive setup on the same symbol when I might have say 3 entries open with one of them at 0.5%, another at 1% and the last one at 1.5% and a target of 6% to 10% all with the same TP. Only applied when sufficient buffer profit exists. The downside of this approach ofcourse is the loss of 3% on the one symbol when things go wrong. Get it right though and targets get hit rather fast. Masterrmind ........
How is your challenges going? Hope all is well with you Mastermind.

Why is spread suddenly 7+ on GBPAUD, usually around 2.1. Did we lose an LP?

Dear,

I noticed there is no broker comparison anymore on the website. Does someone has info on this? There seem to be only two options left. FTMO and Purple Trading. Any suggestions on this? You used to be able to see all the spreads and commisions of all the brokers.

Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

Same for me. Here's spread comparison with 3 brokers on EURGBP which is usually very small spread but 3 pips on FTMO LMAX.

I chatted, sent them a form provided by chat, it was back to normal 5 minutes later.

Noticed similar spread spike on EURGBP. From 0.6 to 3-4 pips spread. I think it affected GBP pairs. Mine has returned back to normal though.

Good going man.

Btw, the Metrix issues seem to have been somewhat permanently fixed.

Ive seen that FTMO is offering FTMO platform or purple trading.
Is there a comparison on costs / spread anywhere out there? Or can I look at the purple trading site?
