1. The Toughest Exam in Retail Trading
FTMO offers funded accounts up to $200,000. However, the evaluation has a 90% failure rate. This is not because the targets are impossible, but because retail traders do not treat the challenge as a risk management test. The challenge is designed to filter out gamblers.
2. The Midnight Drawdown Rule
FTMO calculates daily drawdown (5%) based on your equity or balance at midnight server time (CE(S)T). If you hold swing trades in profit at midnight, your daily stop-out limit moves up. If the market retraces the next day, you can breach the limit even if your account is in net profit.
3. Sizing Down to Survive
To hit the 10% target in Phase 1, you do not need 3% risk per trade. A normal losing streak will breach your daily limit. Risk exactly 0.5% of starting equity per trade. This gives you a 10-trade buffer on daily limits, allowing you to survive volatility waves.
4. Consistency and News Trading Rules
FTMO restricts trading during high-impact news releases for funded accounts. Holding trades through Tier-1 data like NFP or CPI can trigger immediate breaches. You must audit the economic calendar daily and close intraday trades before releases.
