I found out about FTMO around 7 months ago and I waited to take the challenge until I was 100% sure I would pass or atleast get a free Retry . I’ve currently been funded around 2 months now and have made over $12,000 profits USD . And I have been paid out . I’m forever grateful for the opportunity that was presented
Thanks, but plz fix ur servers or whatever, gaps and spread problems, I'm only on free trial so far and it seems like it got rollover problems, spread widening, weird gaps and chart freezing for hours, it happened few times last week that makes me hesitant about paying for a challenge now, would be great to fix all that
@@russellschaeffler what do you mean by that ? lol; im not a day trader, i cant just close my trades everyday hahah; its ridiculous hahah, other brokers do the same time !!!!??? they do what ?
@@mohamedyacineelkedim2094 sorry I meant "the same thing". if you watch the trades on your positions at the end of the day around 5 pm est the spreads with really open up. I just got stopped out of a trade when the spread opened at least 17 pips, could have been more but my stop was at 20.
gaps are common with all brokers. It's not a server or price feed issue. However gaps should only occur after a Sunday open if they were to occur at all. If you're experiencing gaps in Forex at any other point, then there is definitely an issue that needs to be fixed. But note that I have personally worked with every broker FTMO offers and from my experience I never had a gap issue aside from the Sunday gaps
@@highlifenomad1541 the spread opened Thursday just before 5 EST. Seems to happen everyday around the same time. I just want to know much they open the spread so I can plan on it.
When the lots on open trades are 6.33, 6.34 etc. in majority of cases it means that he has a % based risk. When traders are starting the risk on the trades is calculated using a web site, or excel sheet, later it can be done using an EA on the MT4/MT5 and in the final stages when they are going full time or managing multiple accounts they can use a trade managing software. I am speaking from personal experience. After going fulltime and on multiple accounts I started using MAM/PAMM but that was a bit klanky. Currently I am using FXSynergy.
the reason why the journal does not reflect the SL or TP price is because it was a market order. Even if the position is subsequenly set with proper SL and TP, it won't update the journal
I have noticed your comments on traders ¨not using SL/TP¨ but please bare in mind that many of us use Trade Manager EA´s allowing Stealth Mode - i.e no SL/TP posted to broker(your) server. As such, we most certainly DO use tight risk management with clearly defined SL/TP/Trailing etc: but it happens at our end and brokers/ftmo won't see what's what.
Another interesting video. Thanks for interacting with the community! I am going to start my challenge within the next week or so. I just don't understand why everyone is complaining about the same stuff. They are not out to get you, they are not manipulating their servers. Why on Earth would they want a trader to fail?? lol They make money if you make money with them, so that idea is illogical. I do understand they had a server issue not too long ago but please people, don't always think a company is out to get you.. Cheers
18:28 he risks those lot size (with decimals and not consistent) because he wants to risk the same percent per trade, so he calculates the lot size depending on the stop loss placement to risk X percentage per trade, in his case 1% per trade. He is very good at risk management I think. I share with him the same style of trading, good quality setup (few entries maximum 1 per day) = high win rate (in his case 49%) and with high RRR (in his case 2,23). But this style is very hard, it requires a high level of discipline and tolerating many losses (the emotional aspect. I got free repeat last month thanks to my risk management, I hope I make this month.
I do the 10k challenge right now, and I’m a little bit down but your sever seems to have some problems, weird spread and gaps sometimes screen is not moving
Hello FTMO! I would really appreciate if you would add a c-trader demo 14 days option. As I have already mentioned under one video it would be much more comfortable for my preparation for the challenge as I use Ctrader only and I know more people who would appreciate this option as well. Thank you for the response in advance!
My guess of some of the lot sizes weren't round number is, the trader use some kind of position size EA for every trade instead of input manual lot size. I myself using it, so I just input entry, stop loss, and % of my account size to be risked, then the EA would auto calc the lot size. For example if my account is $11.740 and I want to risk 1% of that ($117,4) for a trade with 13,8 pips stop loss it'll never have round number of lot size.
yeah am having an issues atm and waiting on their support team to get back to me, basically last thursday i was up $2700 on the day and 9700 overall. I was net settled in the market at this point before taking a bad over leveraged trade on USDCAD (basically tried to force myself over the line) and ended up taking a $4500 loss. When i signed into my matrix it said i exceeded my daily loss limit but on my daily profit/loss i was only down $1800. There is no way in hell i broke the daily loss limit as their algo somewhere has fucked up or their server or something. Basically i had other people say this issue happened them before as well so hopefully they fix it because since then i made the money back and now hit the 10k and all the objectives bar this daily breach which i am 99% sure i didn't breach.
@@anthonycarlin3452 I hope it works out for you and that they resolve it because that would suck. Please keep us up to date because I'm considering taking their test but I've been hearing a lot of people complain about server issues as well. I just want to know that at least even if they have problems they resolve it in a fair manner.
@@maxxpayne9585 yeah I fucked up before I got to 8k and over leveraged and broke the limit but that time I actually did and accepted it. But this time am so so sure I didnt because I purposely got out of the trade to avoid the same mistake and I new I could take the loss and still comeback so I am hoping they respond soon with an in depth review
@Truth Defender nah it would of needed to drop 30 pips to wick me out as a violation I had accounted for that and even went back and reaccounted for it. When I check the time the trade was exited on the 1min candle I got out basically at the low already so it didn go much lower. Well during that time period anyways
@Truth Defender boils down to greed tho really. I mean the challenge itself is hard as if you have a slow time at the start it forces you to up size and take risks. But once you get onto the verification really risk management should be everything. If I was to get the live account I would be happy to take minimal risk, make 5% or so a month and just consistently do that long term.
Wonder can you share with us stats how long this traders what don't use SL and TP hold on ? 3 Months more and still ok and work trade for firm or alredy blow up accounts?
Hello Lukasz, we do not do such follow-ups. It might put additional stress on the trader that owns the account so we do not want to put any additional pressure on them.
Hi ILikeVids111222, You can try the FTMO Free Trial how many times you want. There is no limitation for it. Thank you for your question and feel free to ask anything else. Best regards
Is there any possibility (in the future) to hold trades over the weekend? This is the only thing which hold me to begin the Challange. As a swing trader, I hold trades several days open in order to hit my target. I can't close my position on Friday if I've opened a position on Wednesday. Thanks!
Hello Mo_dric19, The short answer is not really. We do not plan to change this rule as there are often gaps in the new week's market open. With the leverage 1:100 and no maximum position size, you can see how allowing traders to hold positions through the weekend would be quite risky. If you request holding of your position through the weekend and send us this request by Wednesday night (CE(S)T) the latest, we will consider your request and possibly allow you to hold the position, however, this is really meant to be for exceptional cases and we usually require the trader to hedge the position as well.
Hello Mohamed, I'm not sure what are you really asking for. You can definitely order two Challenges using one bank account and trade these at the same time if that is what you mean. Feel free to email us any questions to support@ftmo.com
@UCPDsVFLtoxwIcmkFZub-Ppw They need to make video addressing this. Their customer service is sub-par (and that's being nice). An occurrence like this can make you fail the 2-phase test, unlike other factors you can control - risk management, lot sizing, etc.
Dear Russel, We do not have a video like that. We have multiple Liquidity Providers that we use on our FTMO Platform and the spreads that you see around the nightly rollovers are totally depending on the datafeed we get from our LPs.

I would like to know if you pass the challenge in less than 10 trading days and you open 0.01 orders for the remaining days would it still count as a pass..?
Hi Minenhle, You have it right. If you pass all trading objectives in 7 days, then you need to open in the remaining 3 days some small orders as you have mentioned to pass the first step of our evaluation process. Then the Challenge is done.
@@FTMOcom what if it's less than 7 days and it's possibly like 2 days should I still use 0.01 lots to complete the challenge or that doesn't count as trading..?
Yes, exactly. For example, If you finish our Trading Objectives in just one day, you have to trade another 9 days with 0,01 lots on 9 trades to finish it. We wish you luck with your trading strategy to accomplish our Trading Objectives. Anyone can do it. Thank you for your question and have a nice day.
@@FTMOcom thank you very I'm looking forward to joining you guys. One last question I'm asking for someone who also wants to try the challenge when you are a funded trader how many maximum accounts can you manage can exceed 300k?
Ftmo plz help me with my question, if I take the account with 10k and gain 5k now my balance is15k then after a while i payout 4k now my balance is 11k then after some trades l lost 1k as maximum loss but my balance still 10k , will you close my account if that happens? Cuz you say if the account be a 9000k you will close the account.
Hello @Trader2025A, In the situation above, described by you, we wouldn't have a reason to close your account since the Maximum Daily Loss is calculated from your initial Account Balance, which was, in this case, $10,000. You can learn more about Maximum Daily Loss by clicking the link below: ftmo.com/en/#maximum-daily-loss Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Hello Daniel, You can during your Challenge and Verification. Once you have an FTMO Account, you have to close any position in an instrument prior to the instrument's market closure which is longer than 2 hours. Risk management is of core importance to us and exposing our capital to potential gaps is not something we want. You can read more on the rule here: ftmo.com/en/faq/do-i-need-to-close-my-positions-overnight/
I had two $100,000 accounts and over a course 12 days of managing risk my last trade to complete challenge was violated. Ftmo said I went over daily loss by $132 and both accounts were still in profit. I don’t trust this company now and I saw all the bad things happen with them and other users but I saw first hand for myself. They will not fix this issue knowing it was a sever issue.
Hello Nankere, Losing one FTMO Account does not carry any further consequences for our cooperation, so if you have more FTMO Accounts you can continue trading the ones you have not lost. You are also free to apply for another Challenge and if you successfully pass the Challenge and resulting Verification, we will assign an FTMO Account to you again.
FTMO Funding For Serious Traders crazy so after a trader blows an account your multi millionaire investors are still happy to give them another 100K? 😂🤣😂
Hi Ivan G, can you please send us the video where you saw the girl who passed the FTMO Challenge in 2 days? The best FTMO traders finished the FTMO Challenge in 10 days, because one of our Trading Objective to become FTMO funded trader is to trade for minimum 10 trading days during FTMO Challenge phase. If you can finish in just 10 days the rest of the Trading Objectives, you will pass the FTMO Challenge phase. After that you go to the second round of our 2-step evaluation process to Verification phase. Feel free to contact us again and please share the video you mentioned in your comment.
Hello Victor, Our main administration offices are in the heart of Europe - in Prague, Czech Republic. We have branches also in Germany, Slovenia, Ukraine and the Philippines.
Hello Jefe, there were no issues with the servers at the time. If you experience any issue, please contact us at support@ftmo.com so we can assist you further.
Dear, Our server is certainly not being manipulated. The issue you are referring to occurred on 17th September in early morning hours and was caused by our technical provider and resolved within a few hours. We are still in communication with our provider and further investigating the roots of this issue and we have already taken other steps to prevent such issues from occurring in the future and will continue to make our systems more robust. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused to the traders and assess each reported case individually and work with each trader to find the best solution to their situation, including possible compensations where these are well-founded. We do our best to provide the best service to all out traders and although a technical issue can arise from time to time, we investigate all reported cases and offer fair solutions.
@@FTMOcom fair and honest answer. Note that many brokers experience issues with price feeds during high risk events where the markets are extremely volatile. During high risk events you might also notice spreads widening out for the slippage reason.
Hi thu ckz, please feel free to reach out to our support that is available at support@ftmo.com and ask for the specific explanation. They will kindly help you as fast as possible.
@@abdalle3483 They are paying me since September (3 withdrawals) and going on my 4th withdrawal this end of December. Maybe your friend violated some rules.
Hi there, can you tell me if there any possibility to add custom indicators to the online mt4 platform? If yes please let me know. Thank you in advance
Hello Darlison, We are not planning to do that. We used to have moderated groups before but it turned out not to be in our best interest. Basically, traders often copied each other and that resulted in passing blame and hate in case the trades did not work out as planned. It also worked against us as we try to diversify our risks instead of overleveraging one trading strategy.
Dear FTMO, fix your server issues. Ever since the server update earlier this month, it’s been horrible. Stop losses get hit even when price hasn’t reached it.
usually when stops get triggered from the ask price instead of the bid price is when spreads really widen out. You might also notice spreads widening during broker clearing hours which are from 5-6pm EST. This applies to every broker.
Why is it that one can no longer register for free trial on your portal? For how long will your server be offline for maintenance??? Please be more transparent to the interested traders and the general public.
Helo Simply, We are very transparent. We have made further upgrades to our infrastructure during the weekend and needed to make sure all is set up well. Free Trials are a very popular product and as these are free of any charge but put a large stress on our infrastructure, we have temporarily stopped issuing new Free Trials during this infrastructure upgrade. New Free Trials will be available later on today again (several hours from the time of writing this response). Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of focussing on these vidoes you must address issues within your business model. Slow execution, SL not being respected, huge gaps and price manipulation. I was a huge fan of FTMO but now thinking of joining another firm as FTMO service is getting worse day by day. If you email them you will hear from them in 3-5 days with a typical response. Disappointed
I notice you say a trader had more success selling than buying, ain't it obvious that that period was bearish. To say a trader should stick to either selling or buying because they made more in a certain timeframe buying more than selling is misleading.
I use a very good signal provider for 50 dollar per month. 400 pips profit per week with 60-85% win rate. But it's better you learn how to trade..i'm using it only because i have currently no time
You guys were great till these server updates. and to make it worse got rid of other brokers so ow its not a good look for people to be stuck with a terrible broker. might not be your fault but at least better liquidity options or go back to offering more brokers so people don't feel trapped with a terrible broker
I don’t actually believe that’s the reason. They are legitimate but their new server is TERRIBLE which leads people to Concoct stories like you just did
HooliganBMars koben ran a profitable ea which generated 18% on low risk exposure. Ftmo wouldn’t allow it. Can you explain the logic? Ofcourse not. What excuse do you have for not letting a profitable ea run? If both parties were benefiting and making money why wouldn’t they allow it?
Liam -N what was the frequency of execution and how long were trades opened for? If it was high frequency and only opened for a very short period of time then makes sense because the ea could exploit delay between copying of trades from demo to real. If infrequent trades and held for longer then you should probably as for an explanation
HooliganBMars what is short mate? Any holding period over 15-20 mins should be acceptable or even lower. Does it take 4-5 hours for ftmo to copy a bloody trade?
Could you just fix the issue with J225.. Your servers aren't showing real time data from sep 7 and spreads are so wider from that time.. it is so irritating.... It was all good before sep 7.and if you guys can't do that just remove that instrument. At least don't fool your traders by offering some instruments which they can't even trade
Dear Ashmon, Sorry for the inconvenience. This is the first time someone reported the issue to us. We will investigate it and fix it if possible. Thank you!
Lol wicksdontlie was right about you guys. Ponzi scheme. Why you not allow Koben’s ea which generated 18% using small risk positions? 😂 if it was true that you make money when traders win then that makes no sence

Hello @Trader2025A,
In the situation above, described by you, we wouldn't have a reason to close your account since the Maximum Daily Loss is calculated from your initial Account Balance, which was, in this case, $10,000.
You can learn more about Maximum Daily Loss by clicking the link below:

Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Can I hold trading positions over the weekend since I only trade forex and not stocks?
No
Hello Daniel,
You can during your Challenge and Verification. Once you have an FTMO Account, you have to close any position in an instrument prior to the instrument's market closure which is longer than 2 hours.
Risk management is of core importance to us and exposing our capital to potential gaps is not something we want. You can read more on the rule here: ftmo.com/en/faq/do-i-need-to-close-my-positions-overnight/
@@FTMOcom Does it close positions automatically?
Are they using algo or manual please mention it in video
Dear Bright Desk,
Some of our traders are trading strictly manualy, some are using both EAs and manual trading and some trade purely by their EAs.
What is abbreviated from FTMO ?
Hello Abdullahi,
It is an acronym of the founders' names: Filip, Tomas, Marek, Otakar.
@@FTMOcom thanks for this
Can we still trade with purple trading
Hello Cesar,
Purple Trading is available to traders from Europe only.
I had two $100,000 accounts and over a course 12 days of managing risk my last trade to complete challenge was violated. Ftmo said I went over daily loss by $132 and both accounts were still in profit. I don’t trust this company now and I saw all the bad things happen with them and other users but I saw first hand for myself. They will not fix this issue knowing it was a sever issue.
Nice video.
Do you offer the es? Thanks
hello there, what do you mean by es, please?
FTMO Funding For Serious Traders

Servers are frozen... again
when we can pay with crypto?
Hello Muhammad,
Although you can't pay with crypto directly, you can pay with bitcoin through Skrill.
If someone passes both the challenge and verification, but fails with the funded acct, does that mean an end for him or her trading with ftmo?
Yes it does. Says so on FTMO website.
@Truth Defender does that require paying another money for the challenge?
@@blessingnankere1014 yes u only get ur money bck if u witdraw
Hello Nankere,
Losing one FTMO Account does not carry any further consequences for our cooperation, so if you have more FTMO Accounts you can continue trading the ones you have not lost. You are also free to apply for another Challenge and if you successfully pass the Challenge and resulting Verification, we will assign an FTMO Account to you again.
FTMO Funding For Serious Traders crazy so after a trader blows an account your multi millionaire investors are still happy to give them another 100K? 😂🤣😂
I saw video of a girl on youtube who passed the ftmo challenge in 2 days. Does this mean she can be funded right away or does she have to wait 20days?
Hi Ivan G,
can you please send us the video where you saw the girl who passed the FTMO Challenge in 2 days?
The best FTMO traders finished the FTMO Challenge in 10 days, because one of our Trading Objective to become FTMO funded trader is to trade for minimum 10 trading days during FTMO Challenge phase. If you can finish in just 10 days the rest of the Trading Objectives, you will pass the FTMO Challenge phase. After that you go to the second round of our 2-step evaluation process to Verification phase.
Feel free to contact us again and please share the video you mentioned in your comment.

Is there a problem with the server?
Hello Jefe, there were no issues with the servers at the time. If you experience any issue, please contact us at support@ftmo.com so we can assist you further.
Another data outage?
FTMO kindly tell us why your new server is being manipulated so much? Why are you not fixing it?
Dear,
Our server is certainly not being manipulated. The issue you are referring to occurred on 17th September in early morning hours and was caused by our technical provider and resolved within a few hours. We are still in communication with our provider and further investigating the roots of this issue and we have already taken other steps to prevent such issues from occurring in the future and will continue to make our systems more robust. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused to the traders and assess each reported case individually and work with each trader to find the best solution to their situation, including possible compensations where these are well-founded. We do our best to provide the best service to all out traders and although a technical issue can arise from time to time, we investigate all reported cases and offer fair solutions.
@@FTMOcom fair and honest answer. Note that many brokers experience issues with price feeds during high risk events where the markets are extremely volatile. During high risk events you might also notice spreads widening out for the slippage reason.
It's been 5 days now and still haven't receive my profit split. What happen? Did you really send it to me?
Hi thu ckz,
please feel free to reach out to our support that is available at support@ftmo.com and ask for the specific explanation. They will kindly help you as fast as possible.
BOSS, have you received the Profit you made? i'm not sure if this company is paying out the profit they claim to pay out.. thanks :)
@@abdalle3483 yes, I received it
How long they have paying you Boss? One of my friend they stop to pay him and shutdown his account.
@@abdalle3483 They are paying me since September (3 withdrawals) and going on my 4th withdrawal this end of December. Maybe your friend violated some rules.
Hi there, can you tell me if there any possibility to add custom indicators to the online mt4 platform? If yes please let me know. Thank you in advance
Hello Niki,
It is not possible to use custom indicators in web trader.
@@FTMOcom thank you so much
Could you create a group on the telegram for conversation?
Hello Darlison,
We are not planning to do that. We used to have moderated groups before but it turned out not to be in our best interest. Basically, traders often copied each other and that resulted in passing blame and hate in case the trades did not work out as planned. It also worked against us as we try to diversify our risks instead of overleveraging one trading strategy.
Dear FTMO, fix your server issues. Ever since the server update earlier this month, it’s been horrible. Stop losses get hit even when price hasn’t reached it.
usually when stops get triggered from the ask price instead of the bid price is when spreads really widen out. You might also notice spreads widening during broker clearing hours which are from 5-6pm EST. This applies to every broker.
Why is it that one can no longer register for free trial on your portal? For how long will your server be offline for maintenance??? Please be more transparent to the interested traders and the general public.
Helo Simply,
We are very transparent. We have made further upgrades to our infrastructure during the weekend and needed to make sure all is set up well. Free Trials are a very popular product and as these are free of any charge but put a large stress on our infrastructure, we have temporarily stopped issuing new Free Trials during this infrastructure upgrade. New Free Trials will be available later on today again (several hours from the time of writing this response). Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of focussing on these vidoes you must address issues within your business model.
Slow execution, SL not being respected, huge gaps and price manipulation.
I was a huge fan of FTMO but now thinking of joining another firm as FTMO service is getting worse day by day.
If you email them you will hear from them in 3-5 days with a typical response.
Disappointed
I notice you say a trader had more success selling than buying, ain't it obvious that that period was bearish. To say a trader should stick to either selling or buying because they made more in a certain timeframe buying more than selling is misleading.
Does anyone here use any apps for signals?
I use a very good signal provider for 50 dollar per month. 400 pips profit per week with 60-85% win rate. But it's better you learn how to trade..i'm using it only because i have currently no time
@@menschdieter which one?
@@benbrown4155 send me a pm!
@@benbrown4155 you can contact this guy on telegram for the signals: @dimafxsignals
How can you call them disciplined trader when they are not using SL and TP? I don't think they are meant to be called professionals
You guys were great till these server updates. and to make it worse got rid of other brokers so ow its not a good look for people to be stuck with a terrible broker. might not be your fault but at least better liquidity options or go back to offering more brokers so people don't feel trapped with a terrible broker
Can’t pay up the split so they gotta blow some accounts since everyone is winning and not enough people paying challenge fee
I don’t actually believe that’s the reason. They are legitimate but their new server is TERRIBLE which leads people to Concoct stories like you just did
HooliganBMars koben ran a profitable ea which generated 18% on low risk exposure. Ftmo wouldn’t allow it. Can you explain the logic?
Ofcourse not. What excuse do you have for not letting a profitable ea run?
If both parties were benefiting and making money why wouldn’t they allow it?
Liam -N what was the frequency of execution and how long were trades opened for? If it was high frequency and only opened for a very short period of time then makes sense because the ea could exploit delay between copying of trades from demo to real. If infrequent trades and held for longer then you should probably as for an explanation
HooliganBMars what is short mate? Any holding period over 15-20 mins should be acceptable or even lower.
Does it take 4-5 hours for ftmo to copy a bloody trade?
Could you just fix the issue with J225.. Your servers aren't showing real time data from sep 7 and spreads are so wider from that time.. it is so irritating.... It was all good before sep 7.and if you guys can't do that just remove that instrument. At least don't fool your traders by offering some instruments which they can't even trade
Dear Ashmon,
Sorry for the inconvenience. This is the first time someone reported the issue to us. We will investigate it and fix it if possible. Thank you!
Lol wicksdontlie was right about you guys. Ponzi scheme. Why you not allow Koben’s ea which generated 18% using small risk positions? 😂 if it was true that you make money when traders win then that makes no sence
