7 days of methodical setup filtering
FTMO Passer runs two funded accounts for me now, after the first one behaved exactly as they described. After a strong first month I doubled size and spent the next six weeks recovering from it.
They rebuilt the routine around preservation first: fixed fractional risk, a weekly loss ceiling, and no trading into red-folder events. Managing a $100,000 DNA Funded account with FTMO Passer meant fewer decisions for me and better ones overall. After two losses in a session the desk closed, no exceptions and no negotiation.
Many months in, the DNA Funded 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. Not affiliated, just a client who finally stopped sabotaging a perfectly good funded account.
A assessment handled with unhurried trade filtering
After the evaluation high wore off, FTMO Passer gave my $50,000 account a routine it had never had. I had no drawdown plan, only a profit hope, and URFX rules do not reward hope.
The book was reduced to two setups on oil, traded only during the Asian session, with everything else filtered out. I had read the URFX payout terms three times and still got them wrong, while the risk desk had them memorised. Risk per trade stayed tiny, and the worst week was still comfortably inside the firm limits.
Many months in, the URFX account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. Recommended for anyone who works full time and cannot babysit a funded account.
The first phase that taught me review process
FTMO Passer handled my DNA Funded evaluation with a level of care I had not seen before. Between meetings I was scalping the DAX on a phone, which is not a strategy so much as a habit.
Size stayed at 0.35 lots until the buffer justified a change, and that patience is what saved the attempt. Because FTMO Passer sized down, the qualification stage at DNA Funded looked uneventful on the equity chart, which is the entire point. A hard weekly loss ceiling meant the account always had room to recover in the following session.
The qualification stage was completed on the first attempt with FTMO Passer, after two failures on my own. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. My only regret is not doing this before paying for three resets at DNA Funded.
Precise risk control and a qualification stage that ended cleanly
The prop firm passing service from FTMO Passer was worth every cent on my $25,000 URFX account. My win rate was fine but my loss size was three times my average winner, so the maths never worked.
Each morning started with a two-minute plan and ended with a two-minute debrief, nothing more complicated than that. The equity-based drawdown stopped being scary once FTMO Passer showed me the exact distance between our stop and the breach level. Drawdown was reviewed daily and size was trimmed automatically once a threshold was touched.
Two small losing days, one flat week, and still a 4.1% finish that satisfied the equity-based drawdown. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. Go in expecting a controlled process rather than a miracle and FTMO Passer will probably meet your expectations.
No hype, just organised trade filtering
FTMO Passer took over the managed account service for my Blue Guardian account after my first payout, and consistency improved from there. I was checking the account hourly at work, which is not management, it is anxiety.
Trade selection was filtered by session and volatility, so the quiet hours were simply not traded. The consistency requirement on a funded Blue Guardian account is unforgiving, and FTMO Passer built the entire schedule around staying clear of it. Every idea was sized at 0.35 lots, so no single position could define the month.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 1.8%, and an equity curve that finally trends instead of zigzagging. the senior trader explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. I would rather have this steady outcome than the rollercoaster I was running myself.
Well-paced trade selection when it mattered most
Handing a $25,000 account to FTMO Passer was uncomfortable for about a week and then a relief. I had no drawdown plan, only a profit hope, and Traderscale rules do not reward hope.
They reduced trade frequency dramatically, which improved my results more than any indicator ever had. I had read the Traderscale payout terms three times and still got them wrong, while the team lead had them memorised. Correlated positions were capped so a single dollar move could not hit the book three times.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 3.1%, and an equity curve that finally trends instead of zigzagging. Support replied within a couple of hours even during a busy week, which surprised me. Five stars for consistency, and the reporting is what earns that rather than the returns.
Grounded trade journaling from start to finish
I had given up on Blue Guardian until FTMO Passer showed me what a structured account passing service actually looks like. I used to treat an evaluation like a lottery ticket, which explains the resets on my card.
When the buffer grew they scaled cautiously, one step at a time, and never mid-trade. The Blue Guardian dashboard was checked before every session so nobody was guessing about the remaining drawdown room. They tracked floating drawdown, not just closed losses, which is the detail most traders ignore.
The result was 8.0% profit with 2.6% peak drawdown, and the funded credentials arrived shortly after. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. It is a service, not a shortcut, and once I accepted that the whole thing went smoothly.
Precise planning from start to finish
What sold me on FTMO Passer was the refusal to guarantee a date, which sounded strange until I understood the equity-based drawdown. Every earlier attempt died the same way: a revenge trade after a stop out, then the equity-based drawdown finished me off.
They logged every entry with a screenshot and a one-line reason, which made the weekly review genuinely useful. Ignoring the equity-based drawdown is what cost me two accounts at Traderscale, and it was the one thing FTMO Passer never did. The team took a full day off after a rough session rather than trying to win it back immediately.
The $10,000 account finished 2.7% higher, with the deepest dip held to 3.1% throughout. Questions were answered the same day, usually with a screenshot rather than a paragraph of jargon. FTMO Passer did what they said they would do, on an account where I had already failed twice.
Structured risk budgeting on a two-step process that almost ended it
I passed on my own and immediately realised that funded trading is a different sport, which is where FTMO Passer came in. The pressure of trading real payout money made me cut winners early and hold losers far too long.
Every trade had a stop, a target and a written invalidation before it was placed, without exception. The scaling path at Alpha Capital Group only matters if you survive, and FTMO Passer treated survival as the first objective. They preferred a flat month to a breached account, and I have learned to feel the same way.
The account survived two volatile stretches that would have finished me on my own, and still ended 4.7% higher. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. Go in with realistic expectations and FTMO Passer will likely exceed them, slowly.
Detailed setup filtering on a verification stage that almost ended it
FTMO Passer has been running the account management service on my $150,000 Sabio Trade account for months, and the equity curve finally looks like a curve. I passed the evaluation myself and then lost the funded account in nine days, an expensive lesson in psychology.
Each week ended with a written review of every trade, including the ones we skipped. They understood that the trailing threshold interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. Floating drawdown was monitored constantly, not just the closed balance, which is the detail that matters.
Drawdown peaked at 1.3% and recovered within a fortnight, which is more than my own trading ever managed. Questions were answered the same day, usually with a screenshot rather than a paragraph of jargon. Not affiliated, just a client who finally stopped sabotaging a perfectly good funded account.
