I like CTI as well. And, as it seems you've done, you realized that CTI is a better fit for you cause you don't have this 1 month problem for 10%, you don't have a time constraint (1 year is plenty of time), you can hold over the weekends and trade news. You are making a mature, informed decision about where you would like to apply your skills. But none of that makes FTMO a scam or a bad company simply because certain restrictions don't match your trading mentality or focus.
I was looking at Enfoid, which is very similar to FTMO, but their news, for example, on UK CPI is avoiding ALL FX for 5 minutes, where FTMO is focused on just avoiding GBP for those 2 minutes. So I stayed away from Enfoid. But I don't think they are a scam, especially with their swingfish or whatever its called they have going on where they can prove it with a trading history and people end up with funding while not paying a dime. It just doesn't work for me.
I just think everyone can do to be a bit less negative. FTMO isn't bad when you really think about it. Just 2 real restrictions, news and weekends. Compared to a company like FidelCrest, they don't have secretive restrictions that most traders won't understand to purposely cause you to fail the evaluations. I think negativity should be focused on whether or not they pay out, and to date we can't see any situations where they haven't paid people out their share, or came up with ridiculous claims to take away profits. That's where the focus should be, not where inadequate traders keep attempting a challenge because they are lying to themselves about their trading abilities.
The best strategy is a profitable one.
