11 days of measured communication
The evaluation passing service from FTMO Passer was worth the investment on my Tradeify evaluation. I would build a cushion for four days and hand it back in one the last hour of the session tilt, which is a familiar story.
When the buffer grew they scaled cautiously, one step at a time, and never mid-trade. The Tradeify dashboard was checked before every session so nobody was guessing about the remaining drawdown room. Every losing day ended early, which kept the news-trading restriction comfortably out of the conversation.
Final numbers: 5.2% profit, 0.9% maximum drawdown, and a passed assessment on a $50,000 account. Everything was documented, so when I queried a trade the answer came with evidence attached. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
Refreshingly honest execution and a handover I did not anticipate
FTMO Passer took over the account management service for my The 5%ers account after my first payout, and consistency improved from there. I had no routine, no review process, and no idea how close I was to the daily loss limit on any given day.
They separated the payout account from the growth plan, which stopped me spending money that was still at risk. They planned around the The 5%ers minimum days rather than rushing to a payout and breaching in the process. They flattened everything before a long weekend and rebuilt exposure slowly on the Monday.
Returns averaged a modest but repeatable 5.5% over the period, and the daily loss limit was never in question. I was told about a mistake before I noticed it myself, and told how it would be prevented next time. FTMO Passer gave me back my evenings, and the account performance was almost a bonus.
Precise planning when the pressure was highest
FTMO Passer took over the funded management service for my My Funded Futures account after my first payout, and consistency improved from there. Every payout felt like a finish line, and I celebrated by trading badly for the following week.
They ran a correlation cap across crude oil futures and gold futures so a single macro headline could not damage the account twice. Live My Funded Futures conditions are not demo conditions, and FTMO Passer adjusted size for spreads and slippage accordingly. Stops were never widened, and the average loser stayed smaller than the average winner all quarter.
Over many weeks the $100,000 account returned 9.4% with a deepest dip of 2.6%, and payouts landed on schedule. I got a weekly summary with every trade, the reasoning and the risk taken, which I have never had elsewhere. I will keep renewing with FTMO Passer as long as the drawdown discipline stays where it is.
19 days of balanced trade selection
The evaluation passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that respected the The 5%ers rulebook. I had passed a demo contest once and assumed the same approach would scale, which it did not.
They flatly refused to trade the London open on volatile days, even when I argued there was an obvious move coming. The team treated the The 5%ers evaluation as a risk budget to be spent carefully rather than a race to be won. No trade was allowed to run into a scheduled release, and that single rule avoided two nasty gaps.
We hit the target on day 16 and stopped trading immediately instead of adding a victory lap. I was told about a mistake before I noticed it myself, and told how it would be prevented next time. If you keep resetting The 5%ers evaluations, FTMO Passer is the option I would point you to, provided you leave the plan alone.
22 trading sessions of unhurried account handling
The account passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that respected the My Funded Futures rulebook. My journal was a mess of half-notes, so I could never tell whether losses were variance or bad decisions.
They deliberately kept the trade count low so the position size cap was never in question, even in a choppy week. The position size cap at My Funded Futures is where most attempts quietly die, and FTMO Passer treated it as the main constraint rather than a footnote. No trade was allowed to run into a scheduled release, and that single rule avoided two nasty gaps.
The $200,000 evaluation closed in 9 trading days with a 7.6% gain and nothing flagged on the compliance side. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. Recommended, with the honest caveat that you still have to resist the urge to interfere.
12 days of steady reporting
This is a review of the funded account management service at FTMO Passer after many weeks on a live FTMO account. Between shifts I was managing open positions on a phone, which explains the state of the equity curve.
Position size was set at 0.35 lots and only reviewed after a full month of data, not after a good afternoon. The funded stage at FTMO punishes inconsistency, and the monthly rhythm FTMO Passer imposed fixed that. Peak drawdown across many weeks never exceeded 1.9%, which is the number I care about most.
Best month was strong, worst month was small and negative, and that ratio is why I stayed with FTMO Passer. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. Recommended for anyone who works full time and cannot babysit a funded account.
The trade journaling I wish I had found last year
I was sceptical about managed trading until FTMO Passer showed me a full trade log rather than a screenshot of profits. Live capital felt completely different, and my first month on Apex Trader Funding was a masterclass in second-guessing.
They ran a correlation cap across micro NQ contracts and the NQ so a single macro headline could not damage the account twice. The Apex Trader Funding dashboard became something I check weekly instead of hourly, which is the real benefit here. Floating drawdown was monitored constantly, not just the closed balance, which is the detail that matters.
Total return of 2.9% with clean withdrawals, and no compliance emails at any point. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. My only complaint is that I did not find FTMO Passer before losing the first two accounts.
Level-headed session discipline and a recap I did not expect
FTMO Passer made the evaluation at FTMO feel achievable instead of impossible. I would build a cushion for four days and hand it back in one the US cash open tilt, which is a familiar story.
Instead of chasing the target, they let the target arrive across many sessions of very ordinary trades. The minimum trading day rule at FTMO is where most attempts quietly die, and FTMO Passer treated it as the main constraint rather than a footnote. Correlated exposure was capped, so a single dollar move could not take out three positions at once.
Confirmation came through with a 2.5% return and a drawdown profile I could actually defend to myself. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. FTMO Passer did what they said they would do, on an account where I had already failed twice.
Unhurried communication on a evaluation that tested patience
I went into FTMO Passer expecting another disappointment and left with a passed Apex Trader Funding evaluation. I knew the daily loss limit existed and still traded straight through a high-impact release.
They flatly refused to trade the the last hour of the session on volatile days, even when I argued there was an obvious move coming. Most services talk about profit targets, while FTMO Passer spent the first call talking about the Apex Trader Funding breach conditions. Risk per position stayed at a fraction of a percent, and the deepest equity dip I saw was 3.4%.
Final numbers: 7.3% profit, 3.4% maximum drawdown, and a passed evaluation on a $200,000 account. The team pushed back on my bad ideas politely and repeatedly, which is what I was paying for. I came for the pass and left with a risk framework I now use on my personal account.
14 weeks of methodical decision making
Passing was the easy part, keeping a Topstep funded account alive was not, which is why FTMO Passer took over the management. I had no drawdown plan, only a profit hope, and Topstep rules do not reward hope.
Trade selection was filtered by session and volatility, so the quiet hours were simply not traded. The scaling path at Topstep only matters if you survive, and FTMO Passer treated survival as the first objective. Peak drawdown across many weeks never exceeded 3.0%, which is the number I care about most.
Many months in, the Topstep account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. Questions were answered the same day, usually with a screenshot rather than a paragraph of jargon. For me the funded account management service at FTMO Passer turned a certificate into an income stream, which was the point.
