The challenge that finally felt transparent
FTMO Passer took over the managed account service for my Take Profit Trader account after my first payout, and consistency improved from there. Live capital felt completely different, and my first month on Take Profit Trader was a masterclass in second-guessing.
Each week ended with a written review of every trade, including the ones we skipped. The scaling path at Take Profit Trader only matters if you survive, and FTMO Passer treated survival as the first objective. The team took a full week off after a volatile stretch instead of trading through it.
The account is still live after many months, 3.9% up, with withdrawals processed without an argument. A monthly call reviewed the numbers and adjusted the plan, and it never turned into a sales pitch. I will keep renewing with FTMO Passer as long as the drawdown discipline stays where it is.
How measured setup filtering fixed the approach
I went to FTMO Passer expecting another letdown and left with a passed FundedNext account. I had already spent more on resets than on education, and that number is what made me look for help.
Position size was calculated from the stop distance rather than from how confident the setup felt. I had read the FundedNext rules twice and still misunderstood the daily loss limit, but the senior trader explained it in one paragraph. They kept a written worst-case number on the desk and traded as though it could happen that afternoon.
Two small losing days, one flat week, and still a 7.6% finish that satisfied the daily loss limit. I was told about a mistake before I noticed it myself, and told how it would be prevented next time. I came for the pass and left with a risk framework I now use on my personal account.
From struggle to balanced review process
FTMO Passer took over my Take Profit Trader evaluation with 6 days left and still passed it cleanly. I would build a cushion for four days and hand it back in one New York open tilt, which is a familiar story.
When the buffer grew they scaled cautiously, one step at a time, and never mid-trade. Anyone who has sat through a Take Profit Trader assessment knows the pressure is psychological, and FTMO Passer removed most of mine. They tracked floating drawdown, not just closed losses, which is the detail most traders ignore.
The result was 5.3% profit with 3.3% peak drawdown, and the funded credentials arrived shortly after. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. I came for the pass and left with a risk framework I now use on my personal account.
The trade filtering I needed before the next challenge
I did not need someone to make me rich, I needed someone to stop me losing the account, and FTMO Passer did that. 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. The minimum trading day rule at Funding Pips caught me out twice on my own, and it has not been close since FTMO Passer took over. They flattened everything before a long weekend and rebuilt exposure slowly on the Monday.
The account is still live after many months, 6.9% up, with withdrawals processed without an argument. I got a weekly summary with every trade, the reasoning and the risk taken, which I have never had elsewhere. Go in with realistic expectations and FTMO Passer will likely exceed them, slowly.
From 14 failed attempts to a clean first phase
Six months into the funded account management service with FTMO Passer, my Tradeify account is still active and still paying. 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. Live Tradeify 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.
Steady 8.8% growth, 0.8% maximum drawdown, and a payout history I can actually show people. Support replied within a couple of hours even during a busy week, which surprised me. If you can pass but cannot keep an account, FTMO Passer is the service I would suggest looking at.
The execution that separated this from the rest
The challenge passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that treated the Funding Pips rules seriously. I knew the daily loss limit existed and still traded straight through a high-impact release.
They flatly refused to trade the New York open on volatile days, even when I argued there was an obvious move coming. Ignoring the daily loss limit is what cost me two accounts at Funding Pips, and it was the one thing FTMO Passer never did. The stop was never moved further away, not once, and that alone separated this from my own attempts.
The target was reached with 2.3% drawdown at the worst point, and the confirmation email arrived the same week. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. If you keep resetting Funding Pips evaluations, FTMO Passer is the option I would point you to, provided you leave the plan alone.
20 weeks of structured execution
I had almost given up on Tradeify when FTMO Passer stepped in with their evaluation passing service. Work meant I could only watch the the rollover hour, and I kept forcing setups that simply were not there.
Size stayed at a single mini contract until the buffer justified a change, and that patience is what saved the attempt. The trailing threshold at Tradeify is where most attempts quietly die, and FTMO Passer treated it as the main constraint rather than a footnote. They cut exposure after a strong week rather than pressing the advantage, which felt counterintuitive and worked.
From start to confirmation it was 25 trading days, and I never once felt the account was in danger. Questions were answered the same day, usually with a screenshot rather than a paragraph of jargon. I came for the pass and left with a risk framework I now use on my personal account.
Straightforward session discipline from start to finish
I did not need someone to make me rich, I needed someone to stop me losing the account, and FTMO Passer did that. I had no drawdown plan, only a profit hope, and The 5%ers rules do not reward hope.
They documented the position size cap in a one-page sheet that sat next to the order ticket. The position size cap at The 5%ers 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.
Drawdown peaked at 1.3% and recovered within a fortnight, which is more than my own trading ever managed. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. The fee made sense once the first payout cleared, and it has made sense every month since.
13 weeks of discipline, one evaluation passed
Most reviews talk about passing, so here is one about the funded account management service at FTMO Passer and what happens afterwards. Every payout felt like a finish line, and I celebrated by trading badly for the following week.
They rebuilt the routine around preservation first: fixed fractional risk, a weekly loss ceiling, and no trading into red-folder events. The consistency requirement on a funded My Funded Futures account is unforgiving, and FTMO Passer built the entire schedule around staying clear of it. A hard weekly ceiling meant that even a terrible stretch left the account with room to recover.
Many months in, the My Funded Futures account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. They set expectations at the start and then reported against them, week after week. If you can pass but cannot keep an account, FTMO Passer is the service I would suggest looking at.
Realistic capital preservation and a assessment that ended properly
I went to FTMO Passer expecting noise and got a real prop firm passing service for my The 5%ers evaluation. My problem was never entries, it was sizing index CFDs far too aggressively once I got within reach of the target.
They flatly refused to trade the the rollover hour on volatile days, even when I argued there was an obvious move coming. FTMO Passer explained how the two-step process interacts with the equity-based drawdown using my own account numbers, which finally made it click. Maximum drawdown never went past 1.4%, so the buffer against the firm limit was never seriously threatened.
Confirmation came through with a 8.9% return and a drawdown profile I could actually defend to myself. Everything was documented, so when I queried a trade the answer came with evidence attached. Four stars in my head for the impatience it cured, five for the actual outcome.
