Update: I failed the verification process. Old patterns came back, made all the wrong decisions I could think of. Increasing lot size, moving stop loss, revenge trading, self sabotage, fear of missing out etc. I believe the FTMO process is doable, ...

So far so good, been able to get back to around breakeven from draw-down week. I'm learning a lot in the heat of the moment and confirming that my system is actually compatible with FTMO's parameters.

On a lighter note, started the verification a few days ago and undergoing a mean draw-down. One trade was 1 pip away from 3RR and pulled to breakeven, that hurts. I actually feel better with my trading now than the challenge process where I ...

Congrats on such a heavy move, although I don't think this can be replicated every month. But you should drop some of the stats, no. This is half of the picture, gotta drop the context. Good-luck in the future

I got the verification login credentials within 2 hrs and ready to roll at this time, pretty quick if you ask me. From the metrics it seems just trading 1 pair is the way to go for me. Its been a little bit of realization here and there to figure ...

Thank you Pipmaster and everyone, much appreciated. I'll try and share both the next stage and hopefully the funded one. I broke all my rules of trading, wasn't patient, multiple lot sizing and wasn't consistent, heck maybe even gambled 1 or 2 ...

Finally gone through the challenge and I must say it was a little humbling and educational. Definitely have to have a system that you trust before heading into managing a live account.

Everybody goes through a 4.7% daily loss, nothing to worry about. Congrats on the passing the challenge. No trades today, unfortunately.

This goes to show the difficulty and respect that has to be given to the process. She apparently left that money as a cushion last month which she will be withdrawing after coming back from a draw-down. Much respect to her integrity and honesty, ...

Decent week altogether, decided to go back to my original plan of 0.5% per risk. This is what allows me to be psychologically removed from the trade. Right now I am positive and since there are unlimited tries as long as you are positive I can take ...

Oh wow, sorry to hear this. Sometime the application is slow to update and I usually do the math on the MT4 balance. So what does this mean, you have to start all over again?

Yep, those were good days. Wish that opportunity was still around. I could only 4 table 50NL. Never went higher than that, too many good players above that limit.

Roller-coaster ride most definitely. Increased risk to 1% as opposed to 0.5% which was my comfort zone. Didn't follow my plan today and missed a huge move which put me on tilt, could have been worse. This challenge has definitely exposed cracks in ...

Good Job and congrats!! I was down yesterday, didn't trade my system and gambled. Added to losing position, didn't wait for setup. Sometimes seeing all the quick finishes messes with your head to speed up. The psychology is tough no matter how easy ...

Wait are you serious, that is crazy. I was under the impression you get one chance. If that is the case then I think the $600+ paid is worth it. Thanks for the correction

Been staying away from this pair the last 3 days, very dangerous and risky. Hopefully next week will bring some green pips to everyone.

You are right, I am taking it very slow. 1 trade at Breakeven and the other for almost 2 to 1 RR. Hopefully I make it to the target within the allotted time, I was apprehensive about the challenge because my system is a very slow but steady system. ...

That's a good system you got there!!! 9.4% by day 3, losing it all and hitting target by 4 days is impressive.
