This is precisely what I heard from a few traders who have passed FTMO 100k challenges. If you want to win the challenge a method such as the above is an even-keeled way to do it. Aim for 1% gain per day risking .5%, as example. Each person has 20 ...

My turn. I completely flubbed my FTMO 100k challenge today. Had a big fat loss (in stages, not all at once). The largest one I've had in at least 5 years. My psychology today was completely messed up. In remembering how my morning went, it feels a ...

When one buys your EA, does it come with the manual? For now, ASAP, I need to understand the basic settings. I want to put in my risk, the correct SL, and with one click be in the trade. I might like to have 2 positions. I might want to move to BE. ...

Congrats, Bigivan. I'm in the middle of the 100k paid challenge. Good first day yesterday but shot myself in the foot this morning. Now I have to give myself a pep talk and trade better. Didn't break the rules, still alive. Only Day 2. Just ...

Holy cow! Just looked at Traders Prop. They tick all the boxes as appearing to be as good or better than FTMO. Only one concern. The smell test. They are NEW. If they are around a year from now and have good reviews with regular payouts and no ...

Thank you for the indi, TraderIT. I will consider a journal, Takisd. I've been studying and practicing with FTMO guidelines and same size account for the past month on my own personal demo account, then two free trials at FTMO. I 'passed' all of ...

Just paid for the 100k challenge. I will start on Tuesday as long as I'm set up by Monday afternoon. Does anyone recommend a small news indi to put ON my chart? I know that FTMO has the news events listed on their website. Forgetting the news is not ...

FTMO - For serious traders

Hi traders. This is directed at long-term traders particularly those already trading with FTMO. Or who could. I have passed 2 FTMO free challenges. The first was the 'standard' version in 4 days. The second was the 'aggressive' version in 7 days. I ...

Likewise. I joined this thread after not participating in FF for *years* (as was noticed and pointed out, rightly so) because now I have a modicum of free time as opposed to the growing-and-homeschooling-two-sons years (while running an ethical ...

This is where I'm at. I have a small personal trading account. I looked into FTMO maybe 18 months ago but 10% in 30 days was not achievable then. My trading is finally to the level that passing the challenge is probably doable for me. I intend to ...

FTMO - For serious traders

I would like to append to my message of just 5m ago. Don't know how or if it is possible. What is most important to me, after knowing fellow traders have received payment, is FTMO operated and functioning to be around for the long haul (10 years+)? ...

[quote=PaulMF;13488594] No one has proved that FTMO is trading and making money by trading. I have a trading mentor-friend and know a few trading "co-workers" that are using FTMO and have already been PAID. This is precisely why I am interested in ...

FTMO - For serious traders

For the Free trial, I am risking 1% per trade. I started this past Monday. I've made mistakes in managing the trades but am up 4%. Of course, for the challenge you have to hit 10% TP. We shall see. I am tempted to take the free trial again after I ...

Well done on being funded at two prop firms, Expo33! The track record is the most important aspect for me. How long have they been in biz? Do they have a history of paying checks? There are a couple of new firms I am interested in but not *until* ...

Nicely done, Rayder4Life.

Yes, Koop. My bad. I admitted that I'm a bit tech-challenged. It didn't even dawn on me but the Cust Serv agent knew in 2 seconds when I posted a screenshot. Tomorrow I will trade the FTMO free-trial demo with an account that looks like mine. ...

I have largely stayed away from forums. I opened an account here years ago. Meanwhile, I have been trading and studying. I decided that this year one of two things happens: I get a paycheck from trading or I get serious about getting a job (I had ...

Mystery solved. I was on the web trading platform earlier. That one does NOT have a Data Folder. The Cust Serv person this morning did not understand my question. Meanwhile, I had one solid good trade despite my frustration and using a new basic ...

Where Rayder4Life, please? I clicked on "File." The options in the dropdown menu are New Chart, choice of MT4 or MT5, and Log in or Log out.

Thank you, Ross88, I came to that conclusion. I'm not used to looking at one chart and trading off another. I know that some traders do. It adds another 'thing' that I need to get comfortable doing, to master, to the mix.
