I don't recommend anyone until we see 6months- 1 year of efficient payouts. As one experienced trader recently stated, it's not losing the fee, it's losing the time and effort to pass the stages to get to the funded account.

I was going to post the same exact thoughts. You probably have a good 2-3 years before you are ready for anything like this.

It's an aggregate feed of LPs. I trade 5 brokers side by side myself, all offshore though, and I see this as well. Not saying it's correct, but I know that's the answer you're going to receive. As a former US trader myself, the most shocking thing ...

As a funded FTMO trader, my next conquest is Enfoid. Everything in these deals is the fee vs allowable loss, forget about the great scaling plan for a minute. It's very clever marketing that can fool even the best math minds INITIALLY. I'm telling ...

I never trade non-farm payroll day anyway. Combine it with a holiday weekend, definitely a no go for me.

Well, if you're experiencing it today, it is due to those instruments being closed for the holiday. I've never had an issue trading indices.

Yes, this one is charging $300 for $200 in DD. What a steal! I can put $300 in a personal account, trade larger positions than I could with them and NOT GIVE THEM 50%! The scaling is the marketing trickery as even when you scale, DD is still 4%. By ...

Yes, 200K, passed two separate challenges so far. I trade FTMO alongside my personal accounts. Fees have been refunded, it's just extra money at this point. My personal success or failure (or anyone else for that matter) is irrelevant as to the ...

He's just conspiracy theorist on prop firms. Read his other posts.

Exactly, if you treat it like a business, they are just your start up costs.

Man, this thread has become polluted with nonsense. But hey, good job, Paul, you're doing a great job promoting FTMO. The more you post, it keeps them right up there as top thread. Just like google search, the first one people click. Maybe you're ...

Why do you keep trading after you pass the challenge? Open up a small personal account if you really need the action.

FTMO - For serious traders

Agree 100%. Now that I've studied and even tried a different model, the challenge/verification model is far superior for the trader than the 1.5 or 2x your account scaling model with DD being equal to or even less than the fee you pay. I encourage ...

Do not believe they ever mention it, but target is half in double the time. If you can pass the challenge, the verification is easy, 5% in 60 days, 2.5% per month.

How about this, since none of us are the ones initiating any of this. Let's reverse the roles. FTMO openly admits 8% pass, so if you take the challenge, you know 92% fail, so you either a) believe you are good enough to pass or b) like to throw your ...

That's all I was respectfully asking, what was your purpose of interacting with us here on the FTMO thread. So you have a hard time earning a decent return? So the obvious solution would be to bash prop firms and anyone who claims they are making a ...

FTMO - For serious traders

Well, as you always say, that wasn't a very respectful response. I was just wondering as you are on here asking everyone about their returns. How much do you earn annually and what broker do you trade with? How much capital do you use, since you ...

Paul...quick question...Do you actually trade forex? Or any other instrument? Just curious as to what your actual intention is. Are you here to simply put down prop firms? Learn to trade? Just curious, with all due respect of course.

FTMO - For serious traders

Right, but you are trading with $150 daily DD until they scale you. So essentially, you can trade same size in a personal account. So now the math is, how many pips do you need to generate 20%. Apply that amount of pips to your personal account and ...
