Hello everyone,
Welcome to another quick update here on ForexFactory, I hope you had a profitable week, so let’s dive into the latest updates.

Starting with the platform updates as usual, due to maintenance on the MetaTrader 4 platform only, on Saturday, 2 March 2024, trading will be unavailable from 9:00 am to 10:00 am. Kindly note that on top of that, cTrader trading hours are different during the weekend. Therefore kindly manage your trades accordingly.

Daylight saving time
Please note that on Sunday, 10 Mar 2024, at 9:00 am all platforms will shift one hour ahead from the current GMT+2 (CET+1) to GMT+3 (CET +2/CEST +1). However, it will not be until Sunday, 24 Mar 2024 that the time change, and therefore the switch from CET to CEST (Central European Summer Time), will also become effective in Europe. Kindly manage your trades accordingly, taking into consideration that the Max Daily Loss resets at midnight CE(S)T and that the difference between Prague time and the Platform time will be 2 hours instead of the usual 1 hour for two weeks.
During this two-week interval, only European Equities will temporarily have their trading hours shifted 1 hour ahead (11:00 am – 7:30 pm) according to GMT+3 notation and will be shifted back to the usual time (10:00 am – 6.30 pm GMT+3) from the 26th. Other symbols will have the Trading Hours unchanged but will refer to the GMT+3 notation instead of GMT+2.

FTMO Leap Year discount
We decided to make the once-in-4-years occasion make even a little more special with a one-off 10% discount on all FTMO Challenges. You still have time until the 1st of March 12pm CET to take advantage of it! The discount will be automatically applied in your FTMO Challenge configurator.


That’s it for the updates! Thank you for your attention and as always, if there’s anything you’d like to ask about, feel free to make a post and I’ll include it in our next update.
Have a great weekend!

Can I ask for a reason that the spread for GBPJPY has been so large all day today (1st March) since the Asian session start and until now 11am UK.
For the past 12 hours the GBPJPY MT4 spread has consistently been 1 - 2 pips larger than 3 other brokers that I have.
For example FTMO spread 25 Blackbull Mkts spread 14 ICMarkets spread 4
And the observations of the wider spreads have not been at times when there are news events nearby.
Does the FTMO broker wish to discourage GBPJPY trading?
Thank You, Alan

Hi Bro,

Did you try FTMO personally?
and which account did use if yes?

Hi all. I decided to join ftmo. When I go through and receive the first payment, I will share with you. Thank you.

Not a big fan of Prop firms as i know the business model is not routing all transaction go live for confirmed traders . I understand they cant take unnecessary risks. So the model needs more losers and few winners, in a way real account is not real account. But who cares business model as long as
1.Legitimacy to do the payout.
2.Dont close the account or refuse payout without specifically mention what rule is violated and which way.
3.No spread widening to hit SL.

For above mentioned matters heard good thing about FTMO from UK based trader friends so i just tried a bit and see how it goes.
So far challange to verification stage is fast and even i completed verification stage still waiting for thier end to say what is next. Support chat and email as of now respond quickly. See how it goes after this

FTMO challange cert


FTMO verification





Name of the game is keep low risk 0.5% for me is good as im not a high risk trader and run the profit as long we see the PA to exit.

I wish FTMO starts getting US Residents again.

Why was there a connection outage on MT4 today from about 04:54 to 05:02 MT4 time? This was Friday 10 May 2024 11:54am Sydney time.
How confident can we be about consistent connection and managing open trades if this happens?
Note that I had 2 other broker MT4 screens open at the same time and they did not have an outage.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well, welcome back with a new update at ForexFactory. Let's start with platform updates:

Weekend Maintenance
Apart from the standard weekend maintenance on cTrader (Saturday 20:00 – 23:59), all platforms will undergo maintenance from 13:00 to 18:05 on Saturday, 1 Jun 2024.
Furthermore, the MT4 and MT5 platforms will also undergo additional maintenance from 18:00 on Saturday, 1 Jun 2024, until 02:05 on Sunday, 2 Jun 2024.

Dragon Boat Festival
There are adjustments to trading hours due to the Dragon Boat Festival. These changes are outlined below:

1. Friday, 7 Jun 2024, HK50.cash will close earlier at 22:00.
2. Monday, 10 Jun 2024, HK50.cash will be closed.
3. Tuesday, 11 Jun 2024, HK50.cash will open later at 04:20.

Nvidia Stock Split
Due to the upcoming Nvidia‘s (NVDA) stock split scheduled to happen with the market close on Friday, 7 Jun 2024, at a ratio of 10:1, all clients must close their positions in NVDA by 21:00 on Friday, 7 Jun 2024. This is to facilitate the transition process on the platform side and to avoid significant PnL spikes, regardless of the account type or stage (Free Trials, FTMO Challenge, Verification, or FTMO Account). Any positions held beyond this time will be closed and pending orders will be deleted. Trading on a split-adjusted basis is expected to resume normally at the standard market open on Monday, 10 Jun 2024.

Live MetriX
Last week, we released the latest feature available for our clients - the Live MetriX! From now on, you can track your trades and progress live, in real time. Up until now, the traditional Account MetriX has been updated in 10-minute cycles. While that's still perfectly suitable, having the option to track your trades live gives our traders conditions like never before. Available for all new FTMO Challenges!

Bi-weekly payouts for affiliates
Our Affiliate partners can now request the payout of their commissions on bi-weekly basis! We review the commissions from the previous month every 1st and 15th day of each month, so our partners do not need to wait for their payouts longer than necessary.


Let's now move to your recent posts:

Hello Procrude, although I can not give you any specific ETA yet, we are continuously monitoring the US situation and looking for ways to safely start onboarding US clients again.

Hi Silverau, on the 10th of May AEST, we did not record any major issues with our platforms. If some of your trades were affected, you can always provide us with your logs so we can launch an investigation. Platform issues are uncommon, but in case an issue on our site would interfere with your trading, we can of course come up with a fair compensation.


Thank you for your attention everyone, I hope you'll have a great week and let me know if you have any questions about FTMO.

i just reached Max allocation and am delighted to be on this journey with FTMO
https://trader.ftmo.com/certificates...d9c6e6918c9320

Does FTMO allow to (hedge) open both a buy and sell positions in the same currency pair? For example, if I have an open buy position in EUR/USD and some time later I open a sell position in EUR/USD with the position still live - is this type of trading allowed on FTMO?

"Hi Does FTMO reconsider an account that has violated the daily max limit and is still in profit?"

It gap down 23:00 server time and return next day open. Anyone experience the same thing? what happen to the liquid provider?
I suspect it couldn't handle roll-over of future contract.

I also noticed that, I am waiting for the Market opening to see how the GER40 performs comparing it with another Broker

Hi, how do you manage tax in Italy with this job, simple vat number? I'm italian too and i would like to listen your experience with FTMO and taxes but I can't contact you in PM.

Hi
Question about the daily loss limit
Is clear that is 5% daily loss limit

That does limit count profits made? I explain
If you have a 10.000 account your daily loss is 500

So if you start and your account goes to 9.500 you are done that is clear.

But what about if your account is at 10.800 is your loss 500 or is 800+500 so it reaches 9.500?

When I read the rules says 5% of the initial balance, the initial balance is 10.000 so if your account is at 10.800 you would be able to loss the 800 of your profit + the 500 of the initial balance and you get to 9.500

Thanks
Kind regards
