No, really we don't need to know. What we need to know is this.......WE have 100:1 leverage in our accounts and FTMO pays US. That is all we need to know. What WE need to know and what YOU need to know (for whatever reason) are apparently 2 different things.

{image} Now I can read this thread and get info from FTMO in peace
Likewise.

I joined this thread after not participating in FF for *years* (as was noticed and pointed out, rightly so) because now I have a modicum of free time as opposed to the growing-and-homeschooling-two-sons years (while running an ethical mortgage biz - my own).

I simply wanted to know more about FTMO as it appears they are top of the prop firm heap before I launch my own paid challenge.

Hoping we will get back to the topic at hand. After I pass the challenge, I intend to be a FTMO trader for the foreseeable future.

[Disclaimer: I am not a relative of FTMO and I am a woman therefore I have different body parts, not that it matters or is important in any way.]

{quote} Too much! Prejudice! And never solve any doubt. Do you really need to know all that about me? Really? By the way, I would never ask anything about you that wasn't related to trading. As I said, this seems like you are trying to deviate attention from the FTMO's transperency concerns. If you did take the time to read some of my previous posts, you'll know that these are my primary concerns about the matter being discussed in this trading thread. Can you solve any? Thanks: - They offer a leverage of 1:100 when that's not allowed in their jurisdiction....
Nobody cares about YOUR concerns. And nobody has to prove anything to you, including FTMO. All they have to do is pay, and that's exactly what they have done from square one.

Of course, you wouldn't ask me anything other than trading questions. But yet you assume you know my motives and actually accused me of lying. Your childish nonsense doesn't add up cupcake.

Adults choose to use FTMO's service to their advantage.

I could take $1300 of disposable income, initiate two 100K challenges. On one challenge buy 20 lots EUR/USD with SL=25 and TP=50. On the other challenge, buy 20 lots USD/CHF with SL=25 and TP=50. With 93% inverse correlation I'm basically guaranteed to win one challenge. Then all I have to do is make 2.5% for two months to pass the verification. And voila, I have 100K of someone else's money to trade which required little to no trading ability. Then I have 10K free drawdown with no requirement to make any percentage per month.

I traded with Oanda for 14 years. They can B-book my trades like a sports bookie would do and profit off my losses. Is it ethical? Who cares. It's legal and doesn't affect my ability to make money from them.

The victimhood mentality these days is truly pathetic.

By the way, why aren't you on the 5ers thread? Who will hold them accountable for their impossible challenge standards? Nobody is questioning their business model. Shouldn't you be saving people from themselves?

So why don't you explain why you signed up at FF and basically showed up on this thread to post nonstop conjecture? Why FTMO? What about all the other prop firms that have horrible reviews and 50% complaints. Shouldn't those firms be on your list of self-aggrandizing crusades? Who's going to save all those adults from themselves?

See the FAQ’s article here: https://ftmo.com/en/faq/can-i-trade-news/

Restrictions are on funded accounts only, not challenges and verifications.

That's the difference. It's legal and regulated. And casinos are. Regulation authorities guarantee that the model won't fail (or at least try to).

As I have already commented on this thread: I see some very active here that use to post in other threads of the like. They usually warn users not to use those firms and stick with FTMO. There are already enough users posting about transperency issues of the model.

That's not true. Just this is the only thread where I get continually quoted and never answered. If you look at other sections of this forum, I am many times on the last post:

My activity here is better explained by some FTMO's defenders (you are very curious about my personal things today) that continually quote me trying to discredit me with personal issues instead of solving topic discussions. And we shouldn't forgot the too many times I have been insulted. The too many misogynist comments received, etc. Hey! you have never replied to them with the same interest and irritation as you do with me.

Very kind adult!

Not being also the topic of thread but it would be really funny to know from what of all I have posted here, you have found inadequacies as a trader and inadequacies as a person.

I keep the same I already told you in my last post to you:

By the way, I would never ask anything about you that wasn't related to trading.
As I said, this seems like you are trying to deviate attention from the FTMO's transperency concerns.

I think it would be of great help for newcomers to this thread if we just discuss about FTMO things. I promise that if many of you are really interested about me, I will open a new thread dedicated to your concerns about me.

Great trading conditions, clearly stated rules, perfect payout record.

Nothing left to discuss.

At least you made that long post that accomplished nothing other than entertaining me. Thanks Paula.

Actually, he inspired me.

I'm going down to my local casino that I've never spent a penny in. Then I'm going to demand to see the general manager and tell him that he needs to open up the machines so I can hook up my computer to his RNG chips to verify they are legit. Then I'll tell him that he needs to be more transparent and I'll need to see all of his books, including the percentage of customers that lose, total losses, revenue statements, etc.

After all, I'm just some guy on the street passing by and I need to protect adults from themselves.

Stop asking to be spoon-fed on this thread. What would it cost you to do a little research?
That's why it's difficult to believe you've even traded a day in your life. If you had a trading account with any European broker around the time the ESMA leverage regulation was enacted, you would have gotten a notification that your leverage was reduced and in order to continue to enjoy higher leverage of up to 1:500 (in the case of some brokers, even in Australia with ASIC recently), you would either have to request to be a Professional client or be transferred to a subsidiary of the broker with an offshore regulatory body.

Do a simple research by yourself. Literally ALL the brokers who were offering higher leverages prior to the regulation sent out this offer to their clients.

The Stop word is very common... I guess.

Exactly that I did and didn't find any offering 1:100 leverage.

You've just proven yourself to be a liar and a fraud if you claim you did any research.

You're talking about 1:100 when brokers are offering 1:400 to professional clients.

With this post, you prove your disrespect for the community by not even bothering to look at a dozen BIGGEST brokers before carrying your nonsense.
ALL of these brokers with EU regulation have a default leverage of 1:30, but if you meet the conditions of a professional investor, you will get 1: 100-500
Now try to tell me you're not a forum troll after that?

I am already simply infuriated by the very fact that this man is foaming at the mouth of something, and when he is given facts and answers, he does not notice at close range, a real forum troll.
