FTMO - For serious traders

50k passed . 150 k total now one live account …. Phase 2 should be easy …. Everyone remember to follow a proper plsn and proper risk and you’ll get c there … I had to use my extension on this one

I forgot to ask. are aggressive accounts available for swing?

I'm interested to know how Paul.M and Kasper. K are trading: time frames and Currency Pairs,

These are 2 names I consistently see on the FTMO Leaderboard. Get them to interview.

$500,000 and $400,000 in a month is crazy! 167% and 101%

Yes and when you figure it from a profit vs DD allowed perspective it is not 167%, it is 1,667%! Only way I see this possible is large positions shorting US 30, NAS, S&P (just pick your poison) and just letting it ride. He should send a dollar out of the $500K to Joe Biden in appreciation for destroying the US and causing the move. It was only a matter of time.
As of now, split is $400K and $320K. Once these payouts are made, sure gives a ton of further credibility to FTMO

Just noticed no weekly update from FTMO this past Friday. Perhaps those payouts are going to break the bank?

True, it is the equivalent, 16X of a normal (personal) account. Thing is, They both have done similar 3 months in a row.

Also this kind of return (short and forget) is only possible in FTMO, If it was equity based drawdown they would have stopped out.

Great point.

I wouldn't expect it (per the payouts); besides their risk systems, FTMO's structure is extremely skewed to advantage the firm..

Ditto! Bias is clear, so sell rallies, SL to BE and hold..

I believe the massive returns are more akin to having unrealistic market conditions. These guys who are all in on US30 or NAS are literally trading market size volumes.

Some guys on instagram have been promoting the same sort of trading style and in terms of liquidity the fills would be impossible at reasonable prices and would pass on significant problems down the chain with LP's cutting feeds and stuff.

If you are given better than market conditions on massive size making huge gains in volatility is easy.

-Scalping indices using large volume, probably. It is very easy to do, actually, but it is high-risk.

-Not likely at all. When you consider the signup/failure/payout statistics and do the math, it is disgusting.

-Yes. And any firm that saw these traders as a problem, could just terminate their accounts and could justify doing so as it is usually stated in their terms. They could also do 'other' things to make their trading more difficult.

This is all assuming that these accounts are even real, as they could just be faked by FTMO for obvious reasons. Not saying that they are, just saying.

This was on my live account , remember people believe in yourself and your strategy. Keep proper risk, you don’t need to trade every day it’s about finding the trades that are good to hold. This was strictly from 2 trades. My us 30 trade I added to once in profit and appl shares from 148. Added around 147 for 200 total short shares. I could have held longer and got more but it doesn’t pay to be greedy in these markets. Phase 2 almost passed on my new 50k as well. Have a great week everyone!

To Whom It May Concern:

I purchased the Challenge, but due my lackadaisical attitude it was over thirty days ago. Contacted Chat and was informed I had to emailed support and it would take 1 - 2 days to get my log in and password and I decided to do the Free Trial. I have a few questions please help.

Basic questions: Please let me know where I am wrong here.

1. $10K Daily Loss Limit: I started out with $100K (Aggressive). My MAX LOSS for the day is $10k and I made profit from multiple trades for a total $6,907.00 (not once did it ever, never ever come anywhere near $10K) and then my next to last trade I lost $15,868.05, then did one last trade for a profit of $785.86 in that order.

1a. I started with $100k, All trades were profit except for my next to last trade (Profit - $6,907.00___Loss: $15,868.05__Profit: $785.86) so I end up with a total of $106,970, then I loss $15,868.05 for ending total of $91,038.95, then I add $785.86 for a ending daily total of $91,824.81. Thereby being under $10k Daily Max Loss.

1b. My understanding is that at no time during said day, am I allowed to lose one (1) penny over $10k on a balance of $100K base, first profit has to be made in order to cover the excess loss. Again "Profit has to be there first to cover excess loss".

1c. Max Daily Loss if I am correct is 10% of base balance of $100K (aggressive) starting out, as profit grows so does the MDL

2. The next day (Day 2) I logged in and I see the account showing I exceeded $10k by $66.23 for a total loss of $10,066.23, so I contacted Chat: Explained the situation and was informed that yes I exceeded $10k. I informed the person that at no time did the account drop to $90K or under. The person was pleasant enough and informed me they would forward my question to support who would email me explaining the process. Have not received an email.

2a. My thinking is, whatever loss there is would be deducted from my profit that day. Then it goes into the 10% base balance $100K (Aggressive) which would be total of $10k.

2c. Example: Make $5K profit lose $7K = ($5K (Profit) + $2K (MDL). I am also thinking that profit has to be made first to cover the excess lost of $10K, in other words I can not loss $11K first then make profit to cover the $1,000 excess lost.

3. Day 2, I figured I had a $10K Max Daily Loss Limit, AFTER that days profit. I knew I had a Loss of $8,898.05 ($100,000 - $91,824.81). The very first trade I lost $1,048.55 (Balance_$91,824.81,- $1,048.55 = $90,776.26 (just showing the account never went to $90k or under)), the rest of my trades were profit for a gross profit of $1,823.60 for a net of $755.05, my net balance being $92,599.86.

3. My understanding of MAX LOSS is that it can not exceed 20% of "EQUITY" NOT BALANCE.

4. I am using MT4 and my question is this: When the MT4 is showing equity, is commission and swaps included in the equity that is being displayed.



FTMO has emailed me my Challenge Password & Log In, but I would like these questions answered first because of what has happen. Also I have email support on this issue and I am now waiting on support.



PS... It has been a "WONDERFUL" week with GBP / NZD-AUD-JPY. Wednesday was to chaotic (long wicks on both ends of the candles) 2100 - 2359 Hrs. (GMT+3).

I have zero loss strategy for trading FTMO setfile is ready for famous NeverGP EA
( www.nevergpea.com )

See my this week test result

Wow, you should be trading 400K and making a fortune in no time. Or wait, oh I get it, you wish to SELL your goldmine to us. Wrong thread dude.

-But he already has 7 whole trades for proof. This could be the answer that we've been waiting for.

show us your last six months result on a live account...not just a few days result.

What is the difference between 6 days and 6 months in a strategy ?

Nothing,

But yes people can believe it only after 6 months unfortunately I will reach at my target in that time and so I won't want to sell this strategy ....

Lol

Perfect. That was the outcome we were looking for. Lol, what is the difference between 6 days and 6 months? You are kidding, right?

I can analyse strategy from a single trade dont need to watch 6 days ....

How ?

Watch what pair , session , SL and TP , News , TF give profit then try to repeat that same trade in next time we can imagine without testing it hundreds of times

btw I am selling EA because it's more profitable than FTMO demo trading I just started this week

Let's watch which one will give more money to me
