Disliked{quote} I never have a SL bigger than my TP .. ever... for FTMO my SL will always be 2000 usd TP will range from 5000-10000 (if I do another challenge). On the live account when/if I get it I will be likely halving that even though I don't really have to but prefer to get my monies worth.Ignored
Disliked1) There should be no issue with such trades. After each stage (Challenge and Verification) is complete, the trades on the accounts are thoroughly checked and if we uncovered an issue with the specific strategy, we would let you know. In the unlikely scenario you passed a Challenge and traded in accordance to our rules, but your strategy would not be replicable, we would ask you to change the strategy or offer you a refund.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hmmmm! Congrats. This is a great motivation for me though I doubt if I could trade big volume like this at once. It will be a great disaster if the trade turned against you. I admire your courage.Ignored
DislikedNew member here, thinking about taking the FTMO challenge. I just have a question for anyone willing to answer. Are you actually getting MORE funding if you pass all the challenges than you would be getting otherwise? Aren't you just using you're own winnings as margin? You could theoretically accomplish the same thing by using a broker with 500:1 leverage & tight stop losses. Or are my calculations wrong?Ignored

Disliked{quote} Your experience is different than mine. Crypto markets completely stop functioning on the weekend. DOM/chart data disappears and cTrader says "no price snapshot". This is really a shame since I counted on crypto trading being available during weekends when I decided to put up the money for FTMO challenge. This is 28% of the value gone; more, since my schedule during the week is busy. I also have some disability issues, and when dealing with a flare-up said "I will not trade when not in good condition, but will wait until the weekend and...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Yup, apparently, there are profitable traders out there who aren't members on FF and have been asked by FTMO to please register and share their experiences. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's like an Uber driver asking you to please give him a review when your ride is over. The other new member (Adriano) , said or implied that FTMO asked him to come over and show his results. {quote} HereIgnored

Disliked{quote} i could have avoided max daily loss breach. On that day, the accepted loss was 4960 dollar. According to mt4 statement. I knew it is close, so i stopped trading , it happened on the 23 rd of this month. But when I checked metrics, it showed some + 300 dollar available for breach. I got confused. How could this be ? I took 1 lot trade, and when the floating loss went up to 100 dollar, now everything changed in the metrics and showed i breached daily loss limit. I took up the matter with FTMO but they refused and stated that, metrics updates...Ignored
Disliked{quote} That is exactly what one of the attendants informed me. He said that in the challenge and verification I just cannot scalp the news and do straddling. In the challenge and verification I can maintain the position during the news. But what if the news causes my stop loss or take profit to be reached? What is considered scalping? Open the position during the 2-minute window before and after the news? If I open a position before the 2-minute break and my position reaches the stop loss or take profit during the news release, does this violate...Ignored
