Straightforward planning when the pressure was highest
I lost two funded accounts before handing the third to FTMO Passer, and that one is still breathing. The trailing threshold on a funded account is stricter on your nerves than on your strategy, and mine were shot.
The team scaled size only after a new equity high held for a full week, never during a run. They kept a permanent cushion against the URFX breach level, so a losing week never became an existential event. Every idea was sized at 0.35 lots, so no single position could define the month.
The $150,000 account grew 4.0% across many weeks, and I have withdrawn a portion of that rather than compounding blindly. Support replied within a couple of hours even during a busy week, which surprised me. Recommended for anyone who works full time and cannot babysit a funded account.
Realistic rule compliance on a qualification stage that tested patience
I went to FTMO Passer expecting disappointment and left with a passed DNA Funded evaluation. Every earlier attempt died the same way: a revenge trade after a stop out, then the daily loss limit finished me off.
They logged every entry with a screenshot and a one-line reason, which made the weekly review genuinely useful. Passing a DNA Funded account is a compliance exercise as much as a trading one, and FTMO Passer understood that distinction. There was one losing streak of four trades, and instead of doubling up they reduced size and waited.
Two small losing days, one flat week, and still a 3.2% finish that satisfied the daily loss limit. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. Recommended, with the honest caveat that you still have to resist the urge to interfere.
Thoughtful trade journaling and a withdrawal I did not expect
FTMO Passer made the evaluation at URFX feel structured instead of random. I had a decent strategy and terrible habits, and no amount of backtesting was going to fix the habits.
Instead of chasing the target, they let the target arrive across many sessions of very ordinary trades. FTMO Passer kept a buffer against the URFX limits at all times, which is why a losing streak never became a crisis. Maximum drawdown never went past 2.1%, so the buffer against the firm limit was never seriously threatened.
The evaluation was completed on the first attempt with FTMO Passer, after two failures on my own. I was told about a mistake before I noticed it myself, and told how it would be prevented next time. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
Structured position sizing on a two-step process that mattered
FTMO Passer manages my $10,000 Blue Guardian account, and the biggest change has been how uneventful the weeks feel. After a strong first month I doubled size and spent the next six weeks recovering from it.
The team scaled size only after a new equity high held for a full week, never during a run. The minimum trading day rule at Blue Guardian caught me out twice on my own, and it has not been close since FTMO Passer took over. Risk per trade stayed tiny, and the worst week was still comfortably inside the firm limits.
The $10,000 account grew 2.9% across many weeks, and I have withdrawn a portion of that rather than compounding blindly. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. Solid, unglamorous and still running, which is the best description I can give of this service.
16 weeks of straightforward rule compliance
I was sceptical about managed trading until FTMO Passer showed me a full trade log rather than a screenshot of profits. I kept treating the funded account like a challenge account, and the maximum drawdown does not forgive that.
They ran a correlation cap across oil and GBPJPY so a single macro headline could not damage the account twice. They planned around the Traderscale minimum days rather than rushing to a payout and breaching in the process. Floating drawdown was monitored constantly, not just the closed balance, which is the detail that matters.
Many months in, the Traderscale account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. They flagged a rule change before it affected my account rather than after. Five stars for consistency, and the reporting is what earns that rather than the returns.
21 trading days, one first phase, zero drama
FTMO Passer took over my Blue Guardian evaluation with 16 days left and still passed it cleanly. Every green day tempted me to double size, and every red day convinced me to stop trading entirely.
Every position had a defined invalidation before it went live, and nothing was ever added to a loser. FTMO Passer explained how the verification stage interacts with the maximum drawdown using my own account numbers, which finally made it click. Drawdown was reviewed daily and size was trimmed automatically once a threshold was touched.
The verification stage was completed on the first attempt with FTMO Passer, after two failures on my own. Communication was steady without being clingy: a short note after each session and a longer recap at the weekend. FTMO Passer earned a repeat client, and this time I am starting with a bigger buffer of my own.
How grounded review process fixed the pattern
Everyone sells a shortcut, so I went into FTMO Passer expecting noise and got a risk spreadsheet instead, which I mean as praise. I had already spent more on resets than on education, and that number is what made me look for help.
They traded fewer setups than I would have, mostly GBPUSD around the the last hour of the session, and skipped anything near red-folder news. The daily loss limit was the piece I always underestimated at Traderscale, so it became the first item on the daily checklist. Drawdown was reviewed daily and size was trimmed automatically once a threshold was touched.
The target was reached with 1.3% drawdown at the worst point, and the confirmation email arrived the same week. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. I came for the pass and left with a risk framework I now use on my personal account.
The setup filtering that made the qualification stage last
I passed on my own and immediately realised that funded trading is a different sport, which is where FTMO Passer came in. My sizing was fine for a challenge and far too aggressive for an account I actually wanted to keep.
The team scaled size only after a new equity high held for a full week, never during a run. Live Alpha Capital Group 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.
The account is still live after many months, 7.0% up, with withdrawals processed without an argument. They flagged a rule change before it affected my account rather than after. Go in with realistic expectations and FTMO Passer will likely exceed them, slowly.
17 trading days of refreshingly honest setup filtering
The reporting from FTMO Passer is what convinced me the funded account management service was worth continuing after month one. I passed the evaluation myself and then lost the funded account in nine days, an expensive lesson in psychology.
They separated the payout account from the growth plan, which stopped me spending money that was still at risk. The scaling path at Sabio Trade 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 scaling review came through after many months of consistent results, exactly as the plan projected. They set expectations at the start and then reported against them, week after week. Go in with realistic expectations and FTMO Passer will likely exceed them, slowly.
Thoughtful capital preservation when the stakes were highest
The prop firm passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that made the Alpha Capital Group rules feel manageable. I would build a cushion for four days and hand it back in one London open tilt, which is a familiar story.
They rebuilt my routine around the London open instead of letting me stare at charts for twelve hours. What I appreciated is that FTMO Passer built the schedule around the Alpha Capital Group rulebook rather than trying to trade around it. Even the best setups were sized at 0.50 lots, so no single idea could dominate the outcome.
We finished 7.2% above the starting balance and the dashboard flipped to passed on a Tuesday morning. I was told about a mistake before I noticed it myself, and told how it would be prevented next time. FTMO Passer earned a repeat client, and this time I am starting with a bigger buffer of my own.
