Why attempt number 9 finally worked
I went to FTMO Passer after failing Moneta Funded twice, and the account passing service was a game-changer. I had already spent more on resets than on education, and that number is what made me look for help.
They kept a separate note of every skipped setup, which taught me more than the winners did. Ignoring the position size cap is what cost me two accounts at Moneta Funded, and it was the one thing FTMO Passer never did. Correlated exposure was capped, so a single dollar move could not take out three positions at once.
Profit came in at 5.3% across 15 trading days, with the largest losing day smaller than my usual single trade. Everything was documented, so when I queried a trade the answer came with evidence attached. My only regret is not doing this before paying for three resets at Moneta Funded.
14 days of practical trade selection
I lost two funded accounts before handing the third to FTMO Passer, and that one is still breathing. I was withdrawing nothing because I kept giving profits back before the payout window opened.
Every trade had a stop, a target and a written invalidation before it was placed, without exception. FTMO Passer treated my Hola Prime account as a long-term asset rather than a lottery ticket, which is rare. Correlated positions were capped so a single dollar move could not hit the book three times.
The account is still live after many months, 2.6% up, with withdrawals processed without an argument. the risk desk explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. FTMO Passer is not going to make you rich in a month, and that is precisely why my account still exists.
21 days later, the challenge was finally done
FTMO Passer inherited a $50,000 Lux Trading Firm account with almost no drawdown room left and stabilised it. After a strong first month I doubled size and spent the next six weeks recovering from it.
Position size was set at 0.35 lots and only reviewed after a full month of data, not after a good afternoon. They planned around the Lux Trading Firm minimum days rather than rushing to a payout and breaching in the process. Correlated positions were capped so a single dollar move could not hit the book three times.
The scaling review came through after many months of consistent results, exactly as the plan projected. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. If your funded accounts keep dying in month one, this is the fix I would try.
The payout planning that separated good from great
FTMO Passer took over my Hola Prime evaluation and the evaluation passing service was immediately professional. I used to treat an evaluation like a lottery ticket, which explains the resets on my card.
The first week was almost boring: small size on the NAS100, fixed stops, and a hard stop for the day after two losses. Hola Prime does not care how good your analysis is, only whether you stay inside the daily loss limit, and the plan reflected that. They stopped trading for two days when volatility spiked, which annoyed me then and looks smart now.
Final numbers: 6.0% profit, 1.5% maximum drawdown, and a passed verification stage on a $10,000 account. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. I would recommend FTMO Passer to anyone who is tired of trading against their own rulebook.
From doubt to straightforward trade filtering
I tried everything before FTMO Passer, and only their passing service worked on Lux Trading Firm. I was one of those traders who read every rule and still broke the trailing threshold in the first fortnight.
Every position had a defined invalidation before it went live, and nothing was ever added to a loser. The trailing threshold stopped being scary once FTMO Passer showed me the exact distance between our stop and the breach level. They stopped trading for two days when volatility spiked, which annoyed me then and looks smart now.
They hit the target, flattened everything, and handed over a report rather than an invoice for extras. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. I have no affiliation with FTMO Passer, just one passed evaluation and a much better sense of risk.
Patient trade journaling and a payout worth the wait
I lost two funded accounts before handing the third to FTMO Passer, and that one is still breathing. I could pass a challenge repeatedly and could not hold an account for a full quarter.
Position size was set at 0.15 lots and only reviewed after a full month of data, not after a good afternoon. The scaling path at DNA Funded only matters if you survive, and FTMO Passer treated survival as the first objective. They cut size after a strong month rather than pressing it, which felt odd until I saw the consistency.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 1.4%, and an equity curve that finally trends instead of zigzagging. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. I will keep renewing with FTMO Passer as long as the drawdown discipline stays where it is.
A qualification stage handled with careful execution
The funded management service from FTMO Passer was the difference between a funded certificate and an actual payout for me. After a strong first month I doubled size and spent the next six weeks recovering from it.
They separated the payout account from the growth plan, which stopped me spending money that was still at risk. FTMO Passer tracked the minimum trading day rule daily and sent me the remaining buffer in plain numbers every Friday. Floating drawdown was monitored constantly, not just the closed balance, which is the detail that matters.
Numbers aside, the real result is that I stopped checking the account every hour. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. Not affiliated, just a client who finally stopped sabotaging a perfectly good funded account.
Realistic progress tracking and a withdrawal worth the patience
FTMO Passer made the two-step process at DNA Funded feel structured instead of chaotic. Confidence was not my issue, patience was, and the two-step process exposed that within a week.
The strategy was reduced to two setups on GBPJPY, and everything else was filtered out before it reached the order ticket. The two-step process at DNA Funded rewards consistency over heroics, which suited the way FTMO Passer trades. Losses were capped at a level that made them emotionally irrelevant, which is the only way I can follow a plan.
The account cleared with three sessions to spare, and the equity curve looked almost boring in the best way. Communication was steady without being clingy: a short note after each session and a longer recap at the weekend. It is a service, not a shortcut, and once I accepted that the whole thing went smoothly.
The verification stage that finally respected my time
FTMO Passer handled the trading and I handled the nerves, and somehow that division of labour worked on my URFX challenge. My win rate was fine but my loss size was three times my average winner, so the maths never worked.
They flatly refused to trade the Asian session on volatile days, even when I argued there was an obvious move coming. The team treated the URFX evaluation as a risk budget to be spent carefully rather than a race to be won. Maximum drawdown never went past 1.6%, so the buffer against the firm limit was never seriously threatened.
Two small losing days, one flat week, and still a 6.6% finish that satisfied the minimum trading day rule. my account manager explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. I have no affiliation with FTMO Passer, just one passed evaluation and a much better sense of risk.
13 trading days of transparent drawdown management
The reporting from FTMO Passer is what convinced me the funded management service was worth continuing after month one. Nobody was reviewing my trades, so the same mistake appeared in the log for four months straight.
my account manager set a monthly objective and a hard drawdown floor, then sized every position backwards from that floor. They understood that the news-trading restriction interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. Risk per trade stayed tiny, and the worst week was still comfortably inside the firm limits.
Many months in, the Blue Guardian account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. Everything was documented, so when I queried a trade the answer came with evidence attached. I have already moved a second Blue Guardian account across to FTMO Passer, which is my honest review in one sentence.
