The trade selection that made the verification stage last
FTMO Passer took over my Moneta Funded evaluation and the passing service was immediately professional. I used to treat an evaluation like a lottery ticket, which explains the resets on my card.
They traded fewer setups than I would have, mostly USDJPY around the the rollover hour, and skipped anything near red-folder news. The equity-based drawdown stopped being scary once FTMO Passer showed me the exact distance between our stop and the breach level. They kept a written worst-case number on the desk and traded as though it could happen that afternoon.
Profit came in at 2.8% across 16 trading days, with the largest losing day smaller than my usual single trade. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. If your problem is discipline rather than strategy, FTMO Passer solves the right problem.
From struggle to patient trade filtering
Most reviews talk about passing, so here is one about the funded management service at FTMO Passer and what happens afterwards. The pressure of trading real payout money made me cut winners early and hold losers far too long.
They documented the minimum trading day rule in a one-page sheet that sat next to the order ticket. Managing a $200,000 Hola Prime account with FTMO Passer meant fewer decisions for me and better ones overall. Risk per trade stayed tiny, and the worst week was still comfortably inside the firm limits.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 2.7%, 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. I have already moved a second Hola Prime account across to FTMO Passer, which is my honest review in one sentence.
How straightforward drawdown management fixed the pattern
Six months into the funded account management service with FTMO Passer, my Lux Trading Firm account is still active and still paying. My sizing was fine for a challenge and far too aggressive for an account I actually wanted to keep.
Monthly planning replaced daily improvisation, and that single change smoothed the entire curve. The trailing threshold on a funded Lux Trading Firm account is unforgiving, and FTMO Passer built the entire schedule around staying clear of it. Risk per trade stayed tiny, and the worst week was still comfortably inside the firm limits.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 2.6%, and an equity curve that finally trends instead of zigzagging. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. FTMO Passer is not going to make you rich in a month, and that is precisely why my account still exists.
The challenge that taught me patience
FTMO Passer took over my $150,000 Hola Prime evaluation and the results spoke for themselves. I kept widening stops, and the Hola Prime dashboard was unforgiving about the drawdown that followed.
The strategy was reduced to two setups on EURUSD, and everything else was filtered out before it reached the order ticket. The trailing threshold was the piece I always underestimated at Hola Prime, so it became the first item on the daily checklist. The stop was never moved further away, not once, and that alone separated this from my own attempts.
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. Go in expecting a controlled process rather than a miracle and FTMO Passer will probably meet your expectations.
Steady setup filtering, and a assessment that finally ended well
The passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that explained the news-trading restriction in plain English. The account was small enough that I felt careless with it, which is exactly the wrong mindset.
The whole approach was mechanical enough that I could audit it myself at the end of each day. What I appreciated is that FTMO Passer built the schedule around the Lux Trading Firm rulebook rather than trying to trade around it. Correlated exposure was capped, so a single dollar move could not take out three positions at once.
Profit came in at 8.9% across 12 trading days, with the largest losing day smaller than my usual single trade. Communication was steady without being clingy: a short note after each session and a longer recap at the weekend. My only regret is not doing this before paying for three resets at Lux Trading Firm.
Quietly effective session discipline when the stakes were highest
My funded DNA Funded account was three days from a breach when FTMO Passer took over the managed account service. After a strong first month I doubled size and spent the next six weeks recovering from it.
Position size was set at 0.50 lots and only reviewed after a full month of data, not after a good afternoon. I had read the DNA Funded payout terms three times and still got them wrong, while the senior trader had them memorised. Floating drawdown was monitored constantly, not just the closed balance, which is the detail that matters.
The account survived two volatile stretches that would have finished me on my own, and still ended 5.2% higher. Updates were honest about losing days, which is the fastest way to earn trust with me. Not affiliated, just a client who finally stopped sabotaging a perfectly good funded account.
How level-headed communication reshaped everything
After the pass I had no idea how to trade live capital, so FTMO Passer stepped in with their account management service. I had no routine, no review process, and no idea how close I was to the maximum drawdown on any given day.
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 URFX only matters if you survive, and FTMO Passer treated survival as the first objective. No position was held through a scheduled release, and that avoided the exact event that killed my last account.
Best month was strong, worst month was small and negative, and that ratio is why I stayed with FTMO Passer. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. I would rather have this steady outcome than the rollercoaster I was running myself.
Understated position sizing on a assessment that almost broke me
The account passing service from FTMO Passer was worth every penny on my $25,000 DNA Funded account. I could not sit through a drawdown without touching the plan, and the two-step process punished that instantly.
Partial profits were taken at a fixed level and the remainder trailed, so no winner was allowed to become a loser. The trailing threshold was the piece I always underestimated at DNA Funded, so it became the first item on the daily checklist. Losses were capped at a level that made them emotionally irrelevant, which is the only way I can follow a plan.
Profit came in at 3.5% across 26 trading days, with the largest losing day smaller than my usual single trade. 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 loss capping that made the challenge possible
FTMO Passer took over my $25,000 URFX account and the challenge passing service was immediately effective. Solo trading gave me freedom, and I used that freedom to break every limit I had written down.
They paired USDJPY exposure with a strict correlation cap so a single macro headline could not sink the account. URFX does not care how good your analysis is, only whether you stay inside the consistency requirement, and the plan reflected that. The stop was never moved further away, not once, and that alone separated this from my own attempts.
Confirmation came through with a 3.3% return and a drawdown profile I could actually defend to myself. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. Go in expecting a controlled process rather than a miracle and FTMO Passer will probably meet your expectations.
Why 20 resets happened before this
Passing was the easy part, keeping a Blue Guardian funded account alive was not, which is why FTMO Passer took over the management. My sizing was fine for a challenge and far too aggressive for an account I actually wanted to keep.
Position size was set at 0.20 lots and only reviewed after a full month of data, not after a good afternoon. FTMO Passer tracked the minimum trading day rule daily and sent me the remaining buffer in plain numbers every Friday. A hard weekly ceiling meant that even a terrible stretch left the account with room to recover.
Returns averaged a modest but repeatable 5.5% over the period, and the minimum trading day rule was never in question. my account manager explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. If your funded accounts keep dying in month one, this is the fix I would try.
