No-drama execution on a funded stage I had doubts about
After 21 days of trying alone, I handed the Tradeify account to FTMO Passer and the account passing service changed everything. I was trading crude oil futures and the YM together with no correlation awareness, so one bad move counted double.
Every position had a defined invalidation before it went live, and nothing was ever added to a loser. The team treated the Tradeify evaluation as a risk budget to be spent carefully rather than a race to be won. A hard weekly loss ceiling meant the account always had room to recover in the following session.
Profit came in at 7.9% across 21 trading days, with the largest losing day smaller than my usual single trade. The dashboard access stayed with me throughout, so nothing about the process was hidden. Recommended, with the honest caveat that you still have to resist the urge to interfere.
10 days of steady risk control
I was sceptical about managed trading until FTMO Passer showed me a full trade log rather than a screenshot of profits. I was checking the account hourly at work, which is not management, it is anxiety.
They separated the payout account from the growth plan, which stopped me spending money that was still at risk. They understood that the trailing threshold interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. They preferred a flat month to a breached account, and I have learned to feel the same way.
My first payout arrived in week 5, which was the moment the whole thing became real for me. The dashboard access stayed with me throughout, so nothing about the process was hidden. Ask for the trade log before you sign up, and judge FTMO Passer on the drawdown column rather than the profit one.
Steady rule compliance from week one to the recap
FTMO Passer manages my $10,000 My Funded Futures 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.
Position size was set at one micro contract and only reviewed after a full month of data, not after a good afternoon. The My Funded Futures dashboard became something I check weekly instead of hourly, which is the real benefit here. 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. 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.
Realistic drawdown management when the stakes were highest
My The 5%ers evaluation had eleven days left when I brought in FTMO Passer, and they still refused to rush it. I was one of those traders who read every rule and still broke the consistency requirement in the first fortnight.
They kept a separate note of every skipped setup, which taught me more than the winners did. Because FTMO Passer sized down, the verification stage at The 5%ers looked uneventful on the equity chart, which is the entire point. They tracked floating drawdown, not just closed losses, which is the detail most traders ignore.
It took 8 sessions, which was longer than the marketing suggested and exactly as long as the team lead predicted. the team lead explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. Not the cheapest service I looked at, but the only one that explained the risk before the reward.
Measured capital preservation and a verification stage that ended properly
FTMO Passer handled my My Funded Futures evaluation like professionals, not amateurs. Between meetings I was scalping the RTY on a phone, which is not a strategy so much as a habit.
Partial profits were taken at a fixed level and the remainder trailed, so no winner was allowed to become a loser. Because FTMO Passer sized down, the assessment at My Funded Futures looked uneventful on the equity chart, which is the entire point. No trade was allowed to run into a scheduled release, and that single rule avoided two nasty gaps.
I ended 3.8% up with no rule violations, which matters more to me than the speed of the pass. I got a weekly summary with every trade, the reasoning and the risk taken, which I have never had elsewhere. FTMO Passer earned a repeat client, and this time I am starting with a bigger buffer of my own.
Rules-first session discipline from week one to the withdrawal
FTMO Passer was the second management team I tried, and the first that talked about drawdown before returns. I was checking the account hourly at work, which is not management, it is anxiety.
the team lead set a monthly objective and a hard drawdown floor, then sized every position backwards from that floor. They planned around the FTMO 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.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 3.0%, and an equity curve that finally trends instead of zigzagging. They flagged a rule change before it affected my account rather than after. FTMO Passer gave me back my evenings, and the account performance was almost a bonus.
4 weeks of methodical drawdown management
FTMO Passer was the second management team I tried, and the first that talked about drawdown before returns. I was checking the account hourly at work, which is not management, it is anxiety.
A pause rule after three consecutive losses was written into the plan and actually enforced. They understood that the consistency requirement interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. Every idea was sized at one contract, so no single position could define the month.
Best month was strong, worst month was small and negative, and that ratio is why I stayed with FTMO Passer. 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.
Careful progress tracking and a funded stage that ended well
My run with FTMO Passer started with a $150,000 FTMO account and an honest conversation about what was realistic. I knew the position size cap existed and still traded straight through a high-impact release.
They rebuilt my routine around the Asian session instead of letting me stare at charts for twelve hours. FTMO Passer explained how the qualification stage interacts with the position size cap using my own account numbers, which finally made it click. The stop was never moved further away, not once, and that alone separated this from my own attempts.
The evaluation passed cleanly, and the summary report listed every trade with its reasoning attached. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. Not the cheapest service I looked at, but the only one that explained the risk before the reward.
Systematic capital preservation and a first phase that ended well
The account passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that respected the Apex Trader Funding rulebook. Every green day tempted me to double size, and every red day convinced me to stop trading entirely.
the analyst assigned to me mapped a day-by-day path to the target and refused to increase size just because we were ahead of schedule. The maximum drawdown at Apex Trader Funding is where most attempts quietly die, and FTMO Passer treated it as the main constraint rather than a footnote. They tracked floating drawdown, not just closed losses, which is the detail most traders ignore.
The evaluation passed cleanly, and the summary report listed every trade with its reasoning attached. A monthly call reviewed the numbers and adjusted the plan, and it never turned into a sales pitch. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
Unhurried account handling and a handover worth the effort
I passed on my own and immediately realised that funded trading is a different sport, which is where FTMO Passer came in. I had no drawdown plan, only a profit hope, and Topstep rules do not reward hope.
the analyst assigned to me set a monthly objective and a hard drawdown floor, then sized every position backwards from that floor. Keeping a $200,000 Topstep account alive is a different skill from passing one, and FTMO Passer is built for the second job. They flattened everything before a long weekend and rebuilt exposure slowly on the Monday.
Over many weeks the $200,000 account returned 9.1% with a deepest dip of 2.8%, and payouts landed on schedule. A monthly call reviewed the numbers and adjusted the plan, and it never turned into a sales pitch. If your funded accounts keep dying in month one, this is the fix I would try.
