Good, at least we know the suspension was not from the admin nor any FTMO personnel. By simply suspense anyone in an open forum does nothing good, it stiffened open discussion. It creates more doubt. Some of the concerns brought up by jmoreno do sound legit.
If you can offer answers to those concern it will help FTMO greatly.

He was here to rant and talk trash, nothing constructive. His "concerns" have been addressed ad nauseum here...multiple times. Nothing will change his mind, nor is he open to it. He came in swinging....so he got a warning shot.

{quote} TBH that has been putting me down too, but allow me to say that I took a first challenge a few weeks ago, achieved the profit objective but slightly breached the daily loss limit, so I got in touch with support to dispute it. Although I was trading higher % than usual I felt I didn't break it. They sent me a very detailed analysis of all the trades I took and the running PnL and I finally had to admit that my floating PnL did breach the limit, due to the commission costs + temporary retracement into drawdown, just like they said in their...

Thank you for your reply and for sharing your experience. In your case however Matrix was updating, right ? And you just wanted to dispute it as you had breached the rules and it was too close.

So if my above assumption is right I am talking about the opposite. In my case the ''daily summary'' being 400 off. The day has passed and everything else is updating normally.

Obviously the terminal has the final say.

But all these issues (in my case) show that this company does not want or is unable to fix this issue 6 months later.

I would like to see if it is only me or other people are facing the same issue ? (Daily summary panel meaning some days are correct and some others, which is very odd)

Today's daily summary is correct. Yesterday's still stuck. I am gonna contact again customer services, I just want to see how frequent this is.


Thanks.

Agree 100%. And if you trade cryptos you can trade 30 days so just over $300 a day shouldn't be that hard.

The only problem I have with his suspension is that I haven't gone to the theatre since Covid and he was my free entertainment

{quote} Hey everyone, The following post is not directed to the person I am quoting. I am just quoting the screenshot of the Metrix. I started a free trial Sep 2020. There were issues back then with the Metrix. I contacted support and they sorted the issue and the Metrix was updating much quicker ( a couple hours) I started another free trial again last week. Metrix was updating fine. However today I noticed that my yesterday's profit on the daily summary panel was 400 off. Today's profit is fine which means it has updated. Yesterday's issue still...

Hey man,

How you've been? Did you change your phone number ? It says ''deleted account''. Hope you are doing well.


I do know how to check the MT4 terminal though. That is not my issue. Thanks for the feedback however.

whenever i traded on the free trial or challenge the metrix always updated either when i refreshed after i opened or closed a trade, or in 2-3 minutes, so i never had the issue for the metrix to not update for hours on end.

{quote} However today I noticed that my yesterday's profit on the daily summary panel was 400 off..
I have the same issue. I started the challenge this week (Monday) and have been trading for the past four days. The stats for Wednesday (10/3/2021) are incorrect within the dashboard. I took two losses that day (but more wins than losses so it was a positive day) and those losses are not showing up in the balance graph. Also the daily summary is not correct for that day. The trading journal is also missing those two line item losses. However the Objectives panel is showing a correct amount for my current profit. The only thing that might give a clue is that the two losses were a result of price hitting my stop loss level. None of my other trades have had their stop loss level hit.

I spoke to support on Wednesday night via online chat. They said they would look into it. So far, nothing has been done and I haven't received any email from them. However it's only been 24 hrs since. Maybe there was some ETL data error that night - I don't know.

Cheers Zapcity,


Same thing Objectives Panel is fine. My issue is as well with the 10th of March on the daily summary.

You say you started the challenge just to clarify do you mean the free trial or the actual paid challenge ?

{quote} yes the fact that you can use more margin that what you have in the account is weird, but saying that if you go in a big drawdown on ur funded account is a severe risk for FTMO, no its not, your 50% drawdown on your account on FTMO's real account is most likely like 0.05%, you are just a small cogwheel of the whole machine of traders trading that big account...

There are more risks than just how much profit one makes.. Margin risk, provider risk, slippage risk.... There are a LOT of risks and no one who is putting money on the table wants to lose that money, not 1$ not 20$ not $1000 even if they have a billion. Most billionaires are cheapskates there is plenty of documented evidence on that. You don't get rich throwing away money.

What concerns exactly? everything he questioned has been addressed satisfactorily in the past 100 times over. Payout proof, reviews from long time FF members, ability of FTMO to honour their profit split obligations, etc. I even explained where and how to find numerous proof of withdrawals on this same thread...

what does he say?

" FTMO, SHOW your AUDITED BANK RECORDS and the AUDITED TAX RECORDS or otherwise FTMO IS A SLEAZY SCAM that only wants to pick your pockets for fees fees fees"

really? on Forex factory? lmao

I had Karmostaji's $25k+ payout screenshot printed and plastered beside my desk as a reminder of what COULD POSSIBLY be achieved when i'm ready to take up this challenge/opportunity.
You wanna sit there and devote your time to looking for more reasons to doubt these possibilities and miss out on "what could have been" or you want to give it a shot and see how much you could extract before all our pessimistic fears actually materialize and the company actually crumbles? THAT'S ON YOU.

{quote} Are you still working with FTMO????? This is a concern to me Here comes FTMO white knights {image} Guys people can asked questions and have their own concerns without other people becoming defensive and turning this thread toxic To anyone making good risk free money with FTMO which I know are on here/out their I wish you the best of luck and to the white knights grow up I'm currently researching prop firms so if anyone has any good recommendations please inform me
That's B.S. No one wants to see the same questions asked a million times or the same boring wild suspicions repeated 2 million times because someone was too lazy to read back a couple pages, do a little research or because someone needs a company to pull their pants down and show their ass before they are ready to take a leap of faith in which the rewards far outweigh the risk.... in an already risk based industry.

There are more important things that FTMO need to address like feed issues, metrix problems, ease of restrictions and constructive suggestions from members that could make conditions better for current and aspiring funded traders.... not wasting time having to deal with people asking for Tax audits, proof of source of funds and whatnot. Those are the people who need to grow the hell up.

Btw, try google for the recommendations. Watch VVS academy's youtube reviews of prop firms, they recently reviewed an Australian firm with a good offering that you may prefer.

Q, That's B.S. No one wants to see the same questions asked a million times or the same boring wild suspicions repeated 2 million times because someone was too lazy to read back a couple pages,

I just do not agree with this statement not everyone has the time to read over this whole thread for a variety of different reasons for some people it's best for them to asked questions and it's good publicity for FTMO

Q, There are more important things that FTMO need to address like feed issues, metrix problems

And by discussing these problems we the customer are more likely to see positive action by FTMO

Q ,try google for the recommendations. Watch VVS academy's youtube reviews of prop firms

I have some dislikes of how FF is run but it's still one of the best places to get customer reviews from people that you can trust you can simply look over their past posts to see if they are a jackass or paid to give a fake review I've seen more fake reviews in Forex than any other industry

haha i do think Cryptosurf was a bit harsh for going that far with getting that guy suspended (if he really did. i didn't know it was that easy), but i can understand his frustrations.

And about the screenshots regarding Lamboraul, i read here that after investigations, his account was reinstated and he put up a post on Instagram saying he probably exaggerated things and everything has been resolved.

Look up, C.Surf just shared a link to the same guy showing $40k+ profits on his $300k FTMO account from days ago... so i guess he's still enjoying their services.
