How to pass the FTMO Challenge? AVOID These 4 Common Mistakes! | FTMO

[@natefxpro2973]

risk 0.25% to 0.50% on each trade and take only trades that follow your plan ! Also would suggest not risking more then 2.5% overall in a day

[@KingJT80]

for the non aggressive account i agree! but for the aggressive account youre gonna have to double your risk from there to 1.5% risk and max daily loss just below their daily limit just in case.because youre trying to get a 20% objective not 10% like the non aggressive accounts

Hi, that news release part kinda scares me. My trading style is more on scalping so I don't have much time to check the news, what if I'm scalping or currently trading then the news suddenly comes out and we're unaware coz we're busy scalping? That news release part makes me hesitant to join FTMO, is there any way to get around it? Would an aggressive type of account get around that? You also said, even if a trade is negative but it is still floating or not yet closed coz there's a chance it will go our way, is it considered a loss, too, even if it's still floating?

I would like to know the importance of free margin in FTMO trading or as long as one is meeting the requirements (maximum daily loss of 5000usd ) is good to go?

[@FTMOcom]

Hi mthobisi Zondo, If I understand your question correctly and feel free to correct me, you ask how we calculate the Max Daily Loss and its relation with the free margin. Well, we are calculating it from your daily equity. This rule can also be called “trader’s daily stop-loss”. According to our rules, this is set as 5% (10% in case of an Aggressive version) from the initial account balance. The rule says that at any moment of the day (CE(S)T - Central European Summer Time), the result of all closed positions in sum with the currently open floating P/Ls (profits/losses) must not hit the determined daily loss limit. The counting formula: Current daily loss = results of closed positions of this day + result of open positions. We do not have any specific trading rules about your free margin. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.

[@mthobisizondo8175]

I will be in touch soon my leaders. I have laptop and access to unlimited Wi-Fi. My interest for trading started in 2017 but I did not have capital and I was not coping with my undergraduate degree. I have been doing demo accounts since then, I would make a lot of fake money but because I am greedy and wanted to experiment I would incur one or two big losses and blow my entire account. I am certain I can become one of your best traders within few months given that I follow all the rules (eg setting targets, closing portion of the profits along the way, never trade without a stop loss etc). Take care!

1. If a funded trader violates a rule after he had possibly increased the account on profit before the end of the month, will he be eligible for a profit split even though he loses the account halfway on profit.. 2. what happens to the little amount of traders profit he leaves as a buffer or as a means of compounding should he finally violate a rule that strips him off the responsibility of the account. Will ftmo take away the earn profit strategically left on the account as a buffer or it ll be given back to the trader for his sendoff party..?

what does max loss: $4,000 mean in the metrix ?, is this the most you can lose in the account in total losses added together, or does it mean its the most you can dip below your starting capital? for example a $100,000 account going down to $96,000 ?

[@FTMOcom]

Hi Jae .H, We do believe that you probably meant 10 000USD Max Loss on 100 000USD account. This means that you cannot let your capital go down to more than 5000 USD loss (95 000 USD > ...) Otherwise that would be violation of our Trading Objective, and we would have to terminate our funding partnership. If you meant Max Daily Loss: For example, in a case of the FTMO Challenge with the initial account balance of €40000, the Max Daily Loss limit is €2000. If you happen to lose €1000 in your closed trades, your account must not decline more than €1000 this day. It must also not go -€1000 in your open floating losses. The limit is inclusive of commissions and swaps. Vice versa, if you profit €2000 in one day, then you can afford to lose €4000, but not more than that. Once again, be reminded that your Maximum Daily Loss counts your open trades as well. For example, if in one day, you have closed trades with a loss of €1000 and then you open a new trade that goes into a floating loss of some -€1200 but ends up positive in the end, unfortunately, it is already too late. In one moment, your daily loss was -€2200 on the equity, which is more than the permitted loss of €2000. Feel free to ask anything else Best regards

Hi FTMO

[@benjaminkhmai144]

Can I hold my trades overnight as a funded trader?

[@laformulesecrette]

I wanted to know ? Is it possible to pass two FTMO challenge at the same time ?

[@FTMOcom]

Hi Gregory. W, Of course you can. You possible funded account from FTMO could be funded up to $300 000. That means, that you can pass 3 FTMO Challenges in the same time each with possible $100 000 of initial capital. Happy to answer. Feel free to ask anything else.

Can I swing on my free trial account

[@Coconutboy66]

Hello i have a question what if i pass the challenge and become an ftmo funded trader and i blow my funded account (lose 10%) can i do a new challenge and get funded again?

[@FTMOcom]

Hi Coconutboy66, Of course that you can. The maximum allocation on FTMO Account can be $400,000. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again. Best regards

[@mrgibbs9421]

It sounded like you said a trader also could NOT close a position in the window of news announcements. Is that correct? If so, why??

[@FTMOcom]

Hi Mr Gibbs, Please read this: ftmo.com/en/calendar/ There are answers on everything you have just said. Thank you for your question and feel free to ask anything else. Best regards

[@speedy6392]

1. If you have a trade held for 2 days and you exit when a news candle hits your TP will that be a violation of the rules? 2. If the same thing happens and your trailer stop loss is hit will that be a violation of the rules Assuming they’re both in the ‘2 minute’ mark of the news

[@FTMOcom]

For number one yes. Hitting SL or TP is the same as opening or closing position in this regard. For number two also yes - the same applies, even is it is waiting/pending order.

[@speedy6392]

@@FTMOcom hmmm I don't agree with that because that means if someone is holding a trade they would have to remove their SL come news to not get a violation...SL is there to save money from YOUR capital incase something goes wrong. I understand pending orders and TPs but stop losses should not be a violation if you are already in a trade PRIOR to the news by lets say a few days or hours even.

[@joellentita9187]

@@speedy6392 If you remove SL and you reach the daily limit loss on your equity you loose your account. it better just to stick to closing everything before news

[@D9t-p8w]

If i am already in a trade during a news event and my profit target is hit is it still a violation ?

[@FTMOcom]

Hi M J, There is no violation in trading during a news event. We just say that during those events the market is often highly volatile and unpredictable. Have a nice day.

[@declanyouvideos9161]

If you pass FTMO, do you get to keep the funded account as the money is yours?

[@FTMOcom]

Hi Declan You videos, To avoid any confusion, after a client becomes the FTMO Trader, he/she will be provided with the demo account with virtual funds. The FTMO Account is connected to our Proprietary Trading Firm’s live trading account with real capital. That is where we generate real cash flow. Clients are entitled to 70% of profits generated on the FTMO Account. This solution is much administratively easier and gives our company the freedom to actively manage risk in certain markets. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again. Best regards

[@oluwatoyiniranloye7524]

Please I would like to ask if the FREE challenge also counts for me in taking the paid challenge? Please I’m sort of confused. Well done.

[@umarfarouk7132]

Yh u gotta pay for the challenge after u pass it .thats when the verification is free

[@FTMOcom]

Hello Oluwatoyin, In order to enter our evaluation process, you have to order a Challenge. We do not give these out for free, but there are no other fees at all and if you succesfully pass the evaluation, your fee will be refunded with your first profit withdrawal.

[@oluwatoyiniranloye7524]

FTMO Funding For Serious Traders Thank you for the response. So the free trial is just to have a feel of the platform, right? I’m presently on the free trial and so far, it’s been amazing.

[@abobakermusa2928]

Thank you

[@teachmehowtodoge1737]

Can you become FTMO trader and at the same you have a day job?

[@antoniomachado8782]

Hi Ftmo, can you clarify better if the 10% max. drawdown is a trailing drawdown (that follows the max. equity ever achieved) or if it remains static (always 10% bellow 100K, therefore at 90k, in a 100k account, for instance)? Thank you!

[@FTMOcom]

Hello Antonio, Max Loss is always the same, at 90% of the account initial capital (on normal risk strategy). On $100k account, you breach the Max Loss if your equity at any point drops under 90k. You can read more at ftmo.com/en/#maximum-loss

[@simonpierre6408]

I passed the first step in 4days do i still have to wait for the 10days minimum?

[@FTMOcom]

Hello, unfortunately it is not possible to pass in 4 days since not all of the Trading Objectives can be met in this time period. Please be reminded, that all of the Trading Objectives are just as important as any other - without passing all of them, you can not proceed further.

[@haamiidrezahreza5273]

Please add the option to withdraw profits through cryptocurrencies

[@matthewhermann2680]

Let’s say I have a 40k account and I win 2k can I lose 4K the same day or if I lose the 2k I violate the daily loss? And if on the same account another day I have a total gain of 10k and I lose 2k will it count as a violation of daily loss even if it is profits I lost?

[@FTMOcom]

Hello Matthew: Please read carefuly about Maximum Daily Loss here: ftmo.com/en/#maximum-daily-loss Our system records balance of your account at midnight and compares your account equity throughout the day with the midnight balance. If at any point throughout the day your account equity decreases drops under the midnight balance - Max Daily Loss, your account has breached the Max Daily Loss. Example - You had running profitable trades through the midnight and your midnight equity was 98k but your midnight ballance was at 97k. You would breach the account if the account equity dropped under 92k (assuming normal risk setup strategy)

[@oussamagharbi5419]

need an information please if you fail can you pass the challenge again?

[@FTMOcom]

Hello Oussama, Even if you lose an FTMO Account, it does not have any further implications for our future cooperation. If you pass another Challenge and Verification, we will give you another FTMO Account as per our rules and GTC.

[@nenielsubido9723]

Example: day 1 i won 3k usd and second day i lost 6k usd. I will be terminated from trading? Or i will have 2k usd more to loss before get terminated?

[@FTMOcom]

Hello Neniel, if this was 100 000 USD account, your account would be violated on the second day as you have made a loss of 6000 USD in a single day - meaning that Max Daily Loss limit has been breached.

[@crazykitchen8172]

ONE BIG QUESTION. After passing the chalenge the funded account is with real money or fictitous money(fake money demo account) cause I have seen written everywhere that. And if it is funded with fictitous money how the profit will be split. How you can split fake profits and what is the source of those? Seems to sound like a scam well presented for a ponzi scheme. Please present these details cause the contract seems to have other informations

[@FTMOcom]

Hello @crazykitchen8172, All our accounts provided by FTMO are simulated/demo accounts. Even in the case of an FTMO Account, the FTMO Trader has access only to a simulated demo account with fictitious capital, i.e. there is no trading with real funds. Therefore, the Trader never gains access to a real "live account" or "margin account" etc. However, the FTMO Trader will receive a real financial reward for his trading on the FTMO Account, as long as his trading is profitable and there is no violation of the contractual conditions. The amount of this reward depends on the success of the trades executed through the FTMO Account. By virtue of the FTMO Account Agreement, the FTMO Trader agrees that his trading data may be used by FTMO for trading on its own account. Therefore, FTMO can actually profit from the simulated trading performed by FTMO Traders. We only add that the FTMO Trader always receives its contractual remuneration, regardless of whether or not FTMO has decided to use the trade data in its live trading.
