Big Shoutout to FTMO .You guys are changing the game in funding Industry .If you hold the transparency and keep improving your business model there is no doubt you will Be Ruling the industry .
@@TheBadGuy69 lol plenty of funded traders like myself on RUclips showing they are legit not to mention the traders who aren't on social media you read reviews thats different from actually trading with them
Simao Luis Why is making 2k an issue ? Trust the process man. Keep in mind they’ll give you a free repeat if you’re in some profit. Follow your plan and be consistent with your risk. Don’t start risking more because you only made 2k this will kill you. Keep doing what you do and you’ll be fine.
@@AdamNhs this what happens to most persons they arent meeting the profit target and starting using big lots to get to it but the most important thing is not to pass the verification but not to fail the verification
Just passed the initial challenge for 10k. I’ve only been trading under a year thank god for ICT I’m killing the markets. I’m coming for 100k 3x after I pass this verification.

Thank you very much for this wonderful opportunity, I am having a great experience with FTMO, trading in my verification, I made a lot of mistakes in my trading so far, like tight stop losses, and does not respect ranges, enter on correlated pairs, spending too much time concentrating on the charts, until I felt like my brain is exploding, and many more, so any recommendation for me beside shooting my self will be great, right now I am checking my mistakes to avoid it next week, and applying few changes that I learned , and hopefully, I will recover soon, and become an FTMO trader, thanks again for your videos

do you choose which trading platform Im going to use use or I choose for myself? Will I use metatrader or trading view or you guys have your own trading platform?
Hello Vince Supreme, You can choose your platform when starting the FTMO Challenge; you can select from MT4, MT5, or cTrader. You can also exchange the platforms between the evaluation phases or payouts; before you place any trade. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Please consider allowing Forex traders to hold positions over weekends.This is essential for daily swing traders as we need to hold on to winners for as long as possible to maximize profit.
Unfortunately, we can not offer a solution for this, since we have to avoid potential gaps in the market. Please understand that if we were to allow holding a position over a time period when there is no liquidity, some traders could choose to open very high volume before the market closes which could result in crossing even the Max Loss limit.
@@FTMOcom Is it possible to require a trailing stop loss within an acceptable limit when holding trades over the weekend, so that if a trade without a stop loss is closed automatically or something when nearing end of trading for the week?
I have a question. If i have an open position and the news came out and hit my SL does that mean iam trading news time? If i have a sell limit for example and a news came out and tag me in, does that also mean iam trading in news time? Thanks
Absolutely, if a trade in opened or closed either SL, TP, Entry level and or manually; All of those actions would imply a breach of the trading restriction. (if they occur 2 min. before or after a restricted news)
Hi Forex Algerie, Please take a look at our FTMO Calendar, where you will find that you cannot trade 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after a restricted news event. Here: ftmo.com/en/calendar/ Thank you for your question and do not hesitate to contact us again.
what do you mean in the profit split date you’ll decrease my balance to the initial, and before that you mentioned that i can withdraw 70% and leave the rest so my losses doesn’t reach the maximum amount?
Hello @abdullrahman8027, Once you request for withdrawal of your profits, your balance will decrease to the initial amount. For example, if you had an FTMO Account with $10,000 and made a profit of $2,000, request the payout of all of the profit, then your account will decrease to the initial amount of $10,000 because you’ve withdrawn all of the profit. You can find more information by clicking on the link below. ftmo.com/en/faq/how-do-i-withdraw-my-profits/ Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
If you pass the challenge and verification and made a bit of money as a funded trader, are you able to withdrawal 70% of the challenge target + verification target + the money you made? Or only the money you made as a funded trader? Thank you
Hi Snotfather, Once you become FTMO Trader that pass FTMO Challenge and Verification, you can only withdraw your profits, from the FTMO Account that FTMO Trader has. Thank you for your question and feel free to ask anything else. Best regards
The funded 100k account type is standard or ecn? Just to know that the price data does not feed from your server only. Most of the brokers not link with market maker.
Hi azrirmn, We are not a broker, nor a depository institution, everything is done by FTMO Solution.

For how long will you be able to verify your Ftmo identity after you passed the challange? I have started the challange today and believe i will pass in the next few weeks but i am renewing my ID that i am going to verify with and i will be able to collect it late august will i still be able to verify after that long wait?
Hello @mohamedfathalla6969, In an FTMO Challenge or Verification, you don’t have to close your positions. During these stages, you can keep your positions open overnight and over the weekend as well. However, once you become an FTMO Trader and get an FTMO Account, we require you to close your positions just before the markets close for the weekend or if the rollover (market break) is longer than 2 hours. If you don’t close your positions, it’s breaking of the rules and therefore termination of the FTMO Account on which you didn’t close the position before the weekend. Keep in mind, the above restrictions don’t apply if you trade cryptocurrencies. Some can be traded during specific hours of the weekend as well. Additionally, FTMO Traders with the account type FTMO Account Swing do not have restrictions on news trading or holding trades over the weekend. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Hello @800grego, We recently changed Trading Period to Unlimited. If you are actively trading, you can take as much time to complete the FTMO Challenge as you need. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
I passed the challenge, and verification! But I didn’t trade more than 10 trades on both challenge and verification, I risked only 1% per trade but I have a high R:R just waiting on minimum trading days now for the verification to be passed! 💪🏽 Looking forward to trading FTMO capital!
Hello @banelejaustin, Once you get the FTMO Account, the drawdown is split into the Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss. Maximum daily loss is set up to 5% from the initial account balance, so if you have a $200,000 FTMO Account, you must never exceed the total equity loss of $10,000 (5%) in one day. Maximum Loss is 10% from the initial account balance. Using our previous example of $200,000 FTMO Account, your equity can never be less than $180,000. Please bear in mind that in both cases we’re talking about the account equity, so it’s sum of both closed and open positions. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
@@FTMOcom So the maximum daily loss and maximum loss don't trail? Let's say for example I have a $200,000 account and I make a profit of $5000. Will my maximum loss remain at $180,000 or will it trail to $185000?
Hello @banelejaustin, As you say, the Maximum Loss will remain at $180,000 even if you make a profit of $5,000. Therefore, by creating profit on your account, you create more space for yourself as well. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
if you are ftmo swing trader and the trade is already in profit and its far away i.e 100pips from the entry point and news are about to happen, will I need to close the trade?, ftmo will close my trade automatic even if the current price is far from my entry point?
Hello Mr P, Losing on FTMO Account dosn't carry any implications for our future cooperation. We believe that by losing one account, you should actually improve as a trader and thus have no reason not to work with you in the future. You would have to go through the evaluation process again though.
Not allowing trades over the weekend means that FTMO does not encourage swing trading ...which in my view gives trader advantage to benefit from big swings and that is not fair ...gaps happens i agree but with stop loss its taken care of ...you need to review weekend trades and allow your traders to be successfull with swings
Unfortunately, if we allowed to run trades over the weekend, it could even stretch losses way over the Max Loss limit. We simply can not accept risk that high.
@@FTMOcom so if im sitting in a trade over 100 pips i have to close it over the weekend cause you guys think it will possibly gap 100 pips back over my protective stoploss ? 😂 please tell me i got it all wrong
Hello markethunter888, We are not taking any fees or deposits other than the initial FTMO Challenge fee. Moreover, the fee is automatically reimbursed to you with the first Profit Split. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
what happens if i have a position opened lets say about 2 hours before the news but already in profit, should i closed it so not to violate any rules ( is this considered as trading during news event)? TIA
Hi maki senju, I am sorry, but we are not allowed to give any advice on your trading style or strategy. It is totally up to you what strategy you pick and use. We cannot say what is better and what is worse, because something works for one trader and something do not. But to your case in general, during events such as for example US presidential election, the market is often highly volatile before, during and after this type of event. Hope you can understand it and keep working on the journey to become a professional trader.
hie Maki , did you understand the answer of your question ? so do you have to close the position before news? if you closed your position after news does that mean you broke the law ?
I have a question please , What if for example i open a long or short position and set the stoploss and take profit levels, and this trade staid open for almost 2 days. for sure during these Two days it may be an event that i am restricted to open or close any new position. but what if the TP, or SL triggered during one of this events (during the time window : 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after ) .... knowing that the SL and TP are set way long before the Event. am i in this case violate the Rules of FTMO Trading Account ??? thanks in advance
Hello @ramimhanna7996, If your Stop Loss or Take Profit is triggered during the restricted news event window (2 minutes before and after), it will be considered a violation, even if the levels were set in advance. However, these restrictions do not apply to the FTMO Swing Account, which allows unrestricted news trading and holding trades during events. For more details, visit ftmo.com/en/faq/can-i-trade-news/. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Hello @younesameurameur7143, It is not obligatory; however, the entire FTMO Team highly recommends setting up your SL and TP according to your strategy. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
@@FTMOcom thank you for answering ,One last question, after winning the FTMO challenge and starting with the real money , will i have to stop/close all my positions or trades at the end of the month to count the net benefit/profit , or can i just let them open? Thank you.
@@FTMOcom thank you for your response , i just have one more question , would i be obligated to close all my open trades at the end of the month? to calculate the net profit of the month ? or i can let them open. thank you.
Please what happens if I pass my ftmo challenge in one trade will my account be closed, assuming I took a swing trade, and applying proper risk management by risking just 2% of my account balance?
Important question, Ima take the challenge next week and I am confused. If I am holding a position which I entered 2 hours before an economic event and during that event the impact takes my trade to profit during those 2 minutes and is closed by my TP (not manual) is it a break of rules? Same as moving SL to profits. Thank youuu
Hi Trader G, Yes, during the FTMO Challenge and Verification, you can hold a position over the weekends. Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
hey quick question, after becoming a funded trader what happens if i do not make any profits. so lets say i have a 100K account at the end of the month my balance is 97K do i loose my account?
Hello Dinesh, As long as you do not breach any of the rules, nothing happens and you will just carry on trading the account in the next trading period.
Hey I wanted to sign up for the challenge, but why do you charge a 250$ fee?? that is too much...the alternative could be provide a demo trading account and see how it goes!!
I was under the impression that once a trader passed both phases that they get funded. In the video however he says that they have to check the trading method to see if it works in the real market. What does that mean? I’m a scalper - I take 7-30 pips of profit and get out. I’m hoping that this method is acceptable. Did anyone ever get declined after passing both phases over just being a quick scalper? This is the first time I’m hearing about this “trades check” its hounds like a condition to me when I thought the actual conditions are the 2 phases . Please someone enlighten me. Thanks!
Hello Joy L, We're checking all passed accounts before providing our traders with an FTMO Account.

You can choose your platform when starting the FTMO Challenge; you can select from MT4, MT5, or cTrader. You can also exchange the platforms between the evaluation phases or payouts; before you place any trade.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
FTMO is the best
I will do my challenge in some weeks as well ^^
I’m new to hearing about this and I can’t wait to get into it
Just signed up for 50k challenge. Ready to be funded :)
Thanks you for this helpful video sir
i am looking forward to become one of the FTMO member with 400k
Awesome video. Thank you. Very clearcut . Look forward to joining your team.
Just passed my verification, funny to think I watched this video december 2021 before I had even bought a challenge
Finished my last challenge 8 days early. Just waiting now 😭💪🏽 I’m ready
update?
After finishing the free trial do you have to pay for the funded account
So when it comes to being paid profit or 'commisions', we are basically self employed?
Please consider allowing Forex traders to hold positions over weekends.This is essential for daily swing traders as we need to hold on to winners for as long as possible to maximize profit.
Unfortunately, we can not offer a solution for this, since we have to avoid potential gaps in the market. Please understand that if we were to allow holding a position over a time period when there is no liquidity, some traders could choose to open very high volume before the market closes which could result in crossing even the Max Loss limit.
@@FTMOcom Is it possible to require a trailing stop loss within an acceptable limit when holding trades over the weekend, so that if a trade without a stop loss is closed automatically or something when nearing end of trading for the week?
When withdrawing can i use any account i wish to use or it has to be mine specifically ?
About trading and event news
Example
I open position at 8:00 and the news at 16:00 so l have to close all position before 16:00 ???like that ??
I have a question. If i have an open position and the news came out and hit my SL does that mean iam trading news time?
If i have a sell limit for example and a news came out and tag me in, does that also mean iam trading in news time?
Thanks
Absolutely, if a trade in opened or closed either SL, TP, Entry level and or manually; All of those actions would imply a breach of the trading restriction. (if they occur 2 min. before or after a restricted news)
Hello, I want to ask about the type of news that cannot be circulated. Thank you
Hi Forex Algerie,
Please take a look at our FTMO Calendar, where you will find that you cannot trade 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after a restricted news event.

Thank you for your question and do not hesitate to contact us again.
I don't understand the weekend positions part?
I passed free trial challenge today but didn't hear anything from them, what is next ?
what do you mean in the profit split date you’ll decrease my balance to the initial, and before that you mentioned that i can withdraw 70% and leave the rest so my losses doesn’t reach the maximum amount?
Hello @abdullrahman8027,
Once you request for withdrawal of your profits, your balance will decrease to the initial amount. For example, if you had an FTMO Account with $10,000 and made a profit of $2,000, request the payout of all of the profit, then your account will decrease to the initial amount of $10,000 because you’ve withdrawn all of the profit.
You can find more information by clicking on the link below.

Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
If you pass the challenge and verification and made a bit of money as a funded trader, are you able to withdrawal 70% of the challenge target + verification target + the money you made? Or only the money you made as a funded trader? Thank you
Hi Snotfather,
Once you become FTMO Trader that pass FTMO Challenge and Verification, you can only withdraw your profits, from the FTMO Account that FTMO Trader has.
Thank you for your question and feel free to ask anything else.
Best regards
The funded 100k account type is standard or ecn? Just to know that the price data does not feed from your server only. Most of the brokers not link with market maker.

For how long will you be able to verify your Ftmo identity after you passed the challange? I have started the challange today and believe i will pass in the next few weeks but i am renewing my ID that i am going to verify with and i will be able to collect it late august will i still be able to verify after that long wait?
I didnt understand holding the positions over the weekends!! does this mean that any open trade is going to be closed before the weekend?
Hello @mohamedfathalla6969,
In an FTMO Challenge or Verification, you don’t have to close your positions. During these stages, you can keep your positions open overnight and over the weekend as well.
However, once you become an FTMO Trader and get an FTMO Account, we require you to close your positions just before the markets close for the weekend or if the rollover (market break) is longer than 2 hours.
If you don’t close your positions, it’s breaking of the rules and therefore termination of the FTMO Account on which you didn’t close the position before the weekend.
Keep in mind, the above restrictions don’t apply if you trade cryptocurrencies. Some can be traded during specific hours of the weekend as well.
Additionally, FTMO Traders with the account type FTMO Account Swing do not have restrictions on news trading or holding trades over the weekend.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Hoping to join this company by September
We will be looking forward to that!
Can South Africans also do the FTMO account
How long do u wait after signing contracts for account??
What is the longest amount of time it typically takes to pass the evaluation?
Hello @800grego,
We recently changed Trading Period to Unlimited. If you are actively trading, you can take as much time to complete the FTMO Challenge as you need.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
I passed the challenge, and verification! But I didn’t trade more than 10 trades on both challenge and verification, I risked only 1% per trade but I have a high R:R just waiting on minimum trading days now for the verification to be passed! 💪🏽
Looking forward to trading FTMO capital!
How's it goin
Hi. How does the drawdown work once I'm funded? Do you guys offer static drawdown once I reach a certain profit amount?
Hello @banelejaustin,
Once you get the FTMO Account, the drawdown is split into the Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Loss.
Maximum daily loss is set up to 5% from the initial account balance, so if you have a $200,000 FTMO Account, you must never exceed the total equity loss of $10,000 (5%) in one day.
Maximum Loss is 10% from the initial account balance. Using our previous example of $200,000 FTMO Account, your equity can never be less than $180,000.
Please bear in mind that in both cases we’re talking about the account equity, so it’s sum of both closed and open positions.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
@@FTMOcom So the maximum daily loss and maximum loss don't trail? Let's say for example I have a $200,000 account and I make a profit of $5000. Will my maximum loss remain at $180,000 or will it trail to $185000?
Hello @banelejaustin,
As you say, the Maximum Loss will remain at $180,000 even if you make a profit of $5,000. Therefore, by creating profit on your account, you create more space for yourself as well.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Can you update this video?Some of the info is outdated. 🙏
if you are ftmo swing trader and the trade is already in profit and its far away i.e 100pips from the entry point and news are about to happen, will I need to close the trade?, ftmo will close my trade automatic even if the current price is far from my entry point?
I will try to join your company after holidays, and I have already profitable trend following strategy, losses are very rare and very small, cheers
What would happen if someone lost their funded account by violating the rules? Could they also re-apply via a new challenge?
Yes they would have to restart
Hello Mr P,
Losing on FTMO Account dosn't carry any implications for our future cooperation. We believe that by losing one account, you should actually improve as a trader and thus have no reason not to work with you in the future. You would have to go through the evaluation process again though.
Not allowing trades over the weekend means that FTMO does not encourage swing trading ...which in my view gives trader advantage to benefit from big swings and that is not fair ...gaps happens i agree but with stop loss its taken care of ...you need to review weekend trades and allow your traders to be successfull with swings
Gaps can by pass your SL and close you out at a bigger loss
Unfortunately, if we allowed to run trades over the weekend, it could even stretch losses way over the Max Loss limit. We simply can not accept risk that high.
@@FTMOcom so if im sitting in a trade over 100 pips i have to close it over the weekend cause you guys think it will possibly gap 100 pips back over my protective stoploss ? 😂 please tell me i got it all wrong
@FTMO hello ? can i get a response?
@@liljordn I agree
Is profit splitting still a monthly deal or has it changed to bi weekly ?
In addition to the challenge fee of 350 euros, is there any risk capital to be deposited ? Or is FTMO taking the 10% drawdown risk ?
Hello markethunter888,
We are not taking any fees or deposits other than the initial FTMO Challenge fee. Moreover, the fee is automatically reimbursed to you with the first Profit Split.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Can't wait to take the challenge next week.
Did you pass it?

@@excellencedumbiri on a 200k account now
what happens if i have a position opened lets say about 2 hours before the news but already in profit, should i closed it so not to violate any rules ( is this considered as trading during news event)? TIA
Hi maki senju,
I am sorry, but we are not allowed to give any advice on your trading style or strategy. It is totally up to you what strategy you pick and use. We cannot say what is better and what is worse, because something works for one trader and something do not.
But to your case in general, during events such as for example US presidential election, the market is often highly volatile before, during and after this type of event.
Hope you can understand it and keep working on the journey to become a professional trader.
hie Maki , did you understand the answer of your question ? so do you have to close the position before news? if you closed your position after news does that mean you broke the law ?
Does anyone know why you can't select Louisiana as your residency?
I have a question please , What if for example i open a long or short position and set the stoploss and take profit levels, and this trade staid open for almost 2 days. for sure during these Two days it may be an event that i am restricted to open or close any new position. but what if the TP, or SL triggered during one of this events (during the time window : 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after ) .... knowing that the SL and TP are set way long before the Event. am i in this case violate the Rules of FTMO Trading Account ??? thanks in advance
Hello @ramimhanna7996,
If your Stop Loss or Take Profit is triggered during the restricted news event window (2 minutes before and after), it will be considered a violation, even if the levels were set in advance.
However, these restrictions do not apply to the FTMO Swing Account, which allows unrestricted news trading and holding trades during events.
For more details, visit ftmo.com/en/faq/can-i-trade-news/.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
If you pass in a couple of days do you have to wait until day 10 before moving forward?
Do you guys accept scalpers ???
i have a question , is it obligatory to put in a stoploss / a take profit when tading during and after the challenge
Hello @younesameurameur7143,
It is not obligatory; however, the entire FTMO Team highly recommends setting up your SL and TP according to your strategy.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
@@FTMOcom thank you for answering ,One last question, after winning the FTMO challenge and starting with the real money , will i have to stop/close all my positions or trades at the end of the month to count the net benefit/profit , or can i just let them open? Thank you.
@@FTMOcom thank you for your response , i just have one more question , would i be obligated to close all my open trades at the end of the month? to calculate the net profit of the month ? or i can let them open. thank you.

Of course, you can. We have many FTMO Traders like that.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
@ftmo is it a breach if a limit order is triggered during the news event period?
Hello Atif,
Yes, that would be breach of the rules.
Some pressure that 🤯
Can I have a profit split once I passed the challenge and evaluation?
Please what happens if I pass my ftmo challenge in one trade will my account be closed, assuming I took a swing trade, and applying proper risk management by risking just 2% of my account balance?
Important question, Ima take the challenge next week and I am confused. If I am holding a position which I entered 2 hours before an economic event and during that event the impact takes my trade to profit during those 2 minutes and is closed by my TP (not manual) is it a break of rules? Same as moving SL to profits. Thank youuu
You're just not allowed to enter during these 4 mins. Any trade taken before is fine.
When combining accounts how does the scaling work in that case?
Depending on when are they combined, we have to deal with this on a case by case basis.
You get paid the profit form the verification phases right?
During the challenge stage, can we trade on the weekends
Hi Trader G,
Yes, during the FTMO Challenge and Verification, you can hold a position over the weekends.
Thank you for your question, and do not hesitate to contact us again.
Passed my first challenge today
hey quick question, after becoming a funded trader what happens if i do not make any profits. so lets say i have a 100K account at the end of the month my balance is 97K do i loose my account?
7:06
Hello Dinesh,
As long as you do not breach any of the rules, nothing happens and you will just carry on trading the account in the next trading period.
Hey I wanted to sign up for the challenge, but why do you charge a 250$ fee?? that is too much...the alternative could be provide a demo trading account and see how it goes!!
Makes up for if anyone passes by fluke or people that have became ftmo funded and straight lost their account due to max loss
I was under the impression that once a trader passed both phases that they get funded. In the video however he says that they have to check the trading method to see if it works in the real market. What does that mean? I’m a scalper - I take 7-30 pips of profit and get out. I’m hoping that this method is acceptable. Did anyone ever get declined after passing both phases over just being a quick scalper? This is the first time I’m hearing about this “trades check” its hounds like a condition to me when I thought the actual conditions are the 2 phases . Please someone enlighten me. Thanks!
Hello Joy L,
We're checking all passed accounts before providing our traders with an FTMO Account. We're talking about illegitimate trading practices such as trading on a delayed chart or extreme cases of HFT. There's no issue with scalping in the way you described it, so there's no need to be worried. Check the following article for more details:
