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

{quote} 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
You do know if too many people have this EA they could kick you out for too many alike trades, right? its in a lot of these contracts. this is why you're suspended on FF. make your own thread if they ever un suspend you but buyer beware..

Hi again traders,

I hope you’re doing all well & making the most out of the volatility that the markets recently offer. Also, I would like to apologize for my absence the last Friday as I took a quick vacation. Well, let’s get into today’s update without any further ado.

Platform updates:
Due to scheduled extended maintenance, the cTrader platform will be unavailable for trading on Saturday, 18 Jun 2022 from 2:00 pm to the end of the session, namely 11:55 pm in GMT+3/CEST+1 notation. Therefore kindly manage your trades accordingly.

Also, due to the Juneteenth celebration in the USA, the usual trading hours for the affected symbols on Monday, 20 Jun 2022 will be affected as follows:

Chat with Charts
Just today, we have published a completely new feature! As the FTMO community is already quite large & keeps on growing, we decided to give you guys the opportunity to meet up & chat in one place. At community.ftmo.com, you can join rooms devoted to specific instruments and discuss trading with other FTMO traders. You also have a trading chart at your disposal, which is provided by TradingView and fueled by our FTMO datafeed.
The rooms are already getting filled and the discussion is in a full load. Join us here!

That’s about it for the update, let’s take a look at the new comments that appeared here in the past two weeks. I initially wanted to react on Never’s posts, but since the membership has been already revoked, I think I no longer need to and I believe that the local rules are clear to everyone.

FTMO, all the way....I believe every ( trader+ their strategy ) for themselves , and God for us all.. I must state that discipline is everything if you want to become a funded traded. I have passed the challenge phase at a 100% precision rate. . I will keep you A all updated. If I can do it so can any disciplined trader. {image}
Hello Kaizen4X, I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for your insight & I wish you all the best with your trading!

{quote} You are somewhat correct. I want FTMO to be better because many firms are intentionally aiming directly at FTMO and have better programs than FTMO. If FTMO doesn't get better than they will meet the same fate as dinosaurs. I just want FTMO to be better! They can be better, they can offer competitive programs but they refuse! Yes FTMO is great, secure, serious and reliable as you mentioned but many and there are many, are are INTENTIONALLY and DIRECTLY competing with FTMO and offer CHEAPER and BETTER funding models than FTMO and I see, from...
Hi Mdot, thank you for the feedback, regardless how “rough” you deliver it. I can understand that from a regular trader point of view, possibly cheaper fees and faster/instant evaluations may sound appealing. However, I would consider it as quick precautions to temporarily attract new custom and make some quick bucks. It also might look like that we are trying to replicate our competitors, which is certainly not FTMO style. At the level where we are, we are looking into completely new possibilities and ways to improve the general retail trading industry. Development is in process, but the good things always take time. And by the way, congratulations on acquiring the full capital allocation!

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 {image}
Hi Tholder676, very well done! Just be cautious, even though you have double the time to make half the profit, Verification might be tricky. Fingers crossed!

Just noticed no weekly update from FTMO this past Friday. Perhaps those payouts are going to break the bank?
Hello pipmaster77, no need to worry, I just took a quick vacation.

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...
Hello Arktos.auroc, I thoroughly read your post and my conclusion is that at one point, your equity must have gone below $90,000 for a brief moment, however, without a login number, I can only assume. However, I believe that by this time, you have already received a response from our support team with the explanation.
Your understanding of the way our Trading Objectives work is correct and also, when MT4 is displaying your equity, the spread and commissions are already included.


And there we go, thank you for participating in the recent discussion everyone, it's a pleasure to return every Friday to a thread so alive.
See you all next week!

You should be up 72% in just 50 days and approximately 150% in 3 months and a week. Your EA must be the goose that lays the golden eggs. Imagine the possibilities with compounding. The geometric increase in your equity will be nothing short of epic. With this sort of result who needs to sell EAs (and why the need)?

My first FTMO deposit was crazy fast. I could not believe it.

Both my profit share and challenge fee were processed and deposited into my account on the same day. I could not believe it.
I had previously requested to have my challenge fee refunded into a different account from the original payment method and they did just that.
The whole process was very very transparent. I was notified of every approval step while processing my payment and when I should expect it.
Considering this was an international money transfer I could not believe the money could be sent out this fast. I loved it.

If I "clearly" can't read then how did I respond to your post? Stop with the insults. I didn't insult you, don't insult me. You definitely wouldn't do it to my face and you're "clearly" hiding behind your keyboard.

No it doesn’t ? It’s just someone who is happy with their service. I did the same thing when my payout came less than 24 hours. I just got another 7k payout you wanna see the bank deposit proof ? Just sounds like you’re upset about something

Does FTMO actually have investors who provide capital for members to trade? Or does FTMO rely on money coming in for challenges to provide funding for traders?

Does FTMO provide traders with live accounts to trade or only demo accounts? If only demo accounts, then why not live accounts?
