10 days of careful progress tracking
FTMO Passer inherited a $200,000 Lucid Trading account with almost no drawdown room left and stabilised it. The equity-based drawdown on a funded account is stricter on your nerves than on your strategy, and mine were shot.
They ran a correlation cap across the metals and the main index product so a single macro headline could not damage the account twice. The Lucid Trading dashboard became something I check weekly instead of hourly, which is the real benefit here. Peak drawdown across many weeks never exceeded 1.0%, which is the number I care about most.
Drawdown peaked at 1.0% and recovered within a fortnight, which is more than my own trading ever managed. The team pushed back on my bad ideas politely and repeatedly, which is what I was paying for. I have already moved a second Lucid Trading account across to FTMO Passer, which is my honest review in one sentence.
Well-paced progress tracking on a verification stage I almost gave up on
The account passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that made the Topstep rules clear. Work meant I could only watch the New York open, and I kept forcing setups that simply were not there.
The strategy was reduced to two setups on the GC, and everything else was filtered out before it reached the order ticket. Because FTMO Passer sized down, the assessment at Topstep looked uneventful on the equity chart, which is the entire point. 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 3.6% finish that satisfied the maximum drawdown. Messages were concise and specific, which I appreciate more than daily motivational noise. I have no affiliation with FTMO Passer, just one passed evaluation and a much better sense of risk.
Straightforward position sizing and a payout I can stand behind
I went to FTMO Passer after two resets at Lucid Trading, and the passing service was a completely different experience. Work meant I could only watch the New York open, and I kept forcing setups that simply were not there.
The plan had a pause rule after three consecutive losses, and it triggered twice without any drama. What I appreciated is that FTMO Passer built the schedule around the Lucid Trading rulebook rather than trying to trade around it. A hard weekly loss ceiling meant the account always had room to recover in the following session.
It took 26 sessions, which was longer than the marketing suggested and exactly as long as the senior trader predicted. Messages were concise and specific, which I appreciate more than daily motivational noise. I would recommend FTMO Passer to anyone who is tired of trading against their own rulebook.
Balanced loss capping from the first week to the handover
I passed on my own and immediately realised that funded trading is a different sport, which is where FTMO Passer came in. The maximum drawdown on a funded account is stricter on your nerves than on your strategy, and mine were shot.
The book was reduced to two setups on the NAS100, traded only during the New York open, with everything else filtered out. They planned around the FundedNext minimum days rather than rushing to a payout and breaching in the process. After two losses in a session the desk closed, no exceptions and no negotiation.
Steady 3.1% growth, 2.4% maximum drawdown, and a payout history I can actually show people. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. Solid, unglamorous and still running, which is the best description I can give of this service.
11 weeks of consistent position sizing
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 kept a running drawdown tracker open all session so nobody had to guess how much room was left. The Take Profit Trader dashboard became something I check weekly instead of hourly, which is the real benefit here. Correlated positions were capped so a single dollar move could not hit the book three times.
Many months in, the Take Profit Trader account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. Messages were concise and specific, which I appreciate more than daily motivational noise. Five stars for consistency, and the reporting is what earns that rather than the returns.
15 days of realistic trade filtering
FTMO Passer took over my $150,000 FundedNext evaluation and the results spoke for themselves. I had a decent strategy and terrible habits, and no amount of backtesting was going to fix the habits.
The whole approach was mechanical enough that I could audit it myself at the end of each day. I had read the FundedNext rules twice and still misunderstood the news-trading restriction, but my account manager explained it in one paragraph. The stop was never moved further away, not once, and that alone separated this from my own attempts.
The $150,000 evaluation closed in 19 trading days with a 4.9% gain and nothing flagged on the compliance side. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
3 days of practical account handling
The prop firm passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that explained the consistency requirement in plain English. The rules looked fine on paper, but I never respected how open equity counted against the consistency requirement.
The plan had a pause rule after three consecutive losses, and it triggered twice without any drama. The consistency requirement was the piece I always underestimated at Take Profit Trader, so it became the first item on the daily checklist. Maximum drawdown never went past 2.9%, so the buffer against the firm limit was never seriously threatened.
The qualification stage was completed on the first attempt with FTMO Passer, after two failures on my own. Everything was documented, so when I queried a trade the answer came with evidence attached. Recommended, with the honest caveat that you still have to resist the urge to interfere.
Structured setup filtering and a handover worth waiting for
The managed account 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.
Exposure was trimmed before weekends and rebuilt on Monday, a small habit that avoided two gaps. Funding Pips rewards traders who stay small and stay present, which is precisely how FTMO Passer operates. Stops were never widened, and the average loser stayed smaller than the average winner all quarter.
My first payout arrived in week 6, which was the moment the whole thing became real for me. I got a weekly summary with every trade, the reasoning and the risk taken, which I have never had elsewhere. Not affiliated, just a client who finally stopped sabotaging a perfectly good funded account.
From struggle to steady execution
FTMO Passer inherited a $10,000 Tradeify account with almost no drawdown room left and stabilised it. 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. They understood that the minimum trading day rule interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. Peak drawdown across many weeks never exceeded 1.9%, which is the number I care about most.
Steady 6.0% growth, 1.9% maximum drawdown, and a payout history I can actually show people. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. I would rather have this steady outcome than the rollercoaster I was running myself.
Consistent account handling on a evaluation that demanded it
FTMO Passer handled my Funding Pips evaluation with a discipline I had never experienced. Trading alone meant nobody questioned my worst ideas, and the account paid for that silence.
The strategy was reduced to two setups on the NAS100, and everything else was filtered out before it reached the order ticket. I had read the Funding Pips rules twice and still misunderstood the minimum trading day rule, but the risk desk explained it in one paragraph. They stopped trading for two days when volatility spiked, which annoyed me then and looks smart now.
The account cleared with three sessions to spare, and the equity curve looked almost boring in the best way. The team pushed back on my bad ideas politely and repeatedly, which is what I was paying for. Recommended, with the honest caveat that you still have to resist the urge to interfere.
