Methodical payout planning from start to withdrawal
I had almost given up on Tradeify when FTMO Passer stepped in with their evaluation passing service. I had a decent strategy and terrible habits, and no amount of backtesting was going to fix the habits.
They kept a separate note of every skipped setup, which taught me more than the winners did. Most services talk about profit targets, while FTMO Passer spent the first call talking about the Tradeify breach conditions. They cut exposure after a strong week rather than pressing the advantage, which felt counterintuitive and worked.
I ended 6.6% 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. Solid work from FTMO Passer, and the reporting alone justified the fee for me.
Methodical setup filtering and a payout worth the effort
The account management service from FTMO Passer was the difference between a funded certificate and an actual payout for me. My sizing was fine for a challenge and far too aggressive for an account I actually wanted to keep.
The book was reduced to two setups on the DAX, traded only during the the rollover hour, with everything else filtered out. They understood that the daily loss limit interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. After two losses in a session the desk closed, no exceptions and no negotiation.
Many months in, the The 5%ers account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. Messages were concise and specific, which I appreciate more than daily motivational noise. If you can pass but cannot keep an account, FTMO Passer is the service I would suggest looking at.
4 days of balanced loss capping
My funded My Funded Futures account was three days from a breach when FTMO Passer took over the funded account management service. Live capital felt completely different, and my first month on My Funded Futures was a masterclass in second-guessing.
Each week ended with a written review of every trade, including the ones we skipped. They understood that the daily loss limit 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.
The $100,000 account grew 2.4% across many weeks, and I have withdrawn a portion of that rather than compounding blindly. 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.
A first phase handled with careful loss capping
The account passing service from FTMO Passer was worth every penny on my $10,000 The 5%ers account. I used to treat an evaluation like a lottery ticket, which explains the resets on my card.
They kept a separate note of every skipped setup, which taught me more than the winners did. The The 5%ers dashboard was checked before every session so nobody was guessing about the remaining drawdown room. They tracked floating drawdown, not just closed losses, which is the detail most traders ignore.
The $10,000 account finished 3.4% higher, with the deepest dip held to 2.5% throughout. A monthly call reviewed the numbers and adjusted the plan, and it never turned into a sales pitch. Four stars in my head for the impatience it cured, five for the actual outcome.
How data-driven trade selection saved the account
I tried three other services before FTMO Passer, and only they treated the My Funded Futures rules seriously. I was trading the ES and crude oil futures together with no correlation awareness, so one bad move counted double.
They logged every entry with a screenshot and a one-line reason, which made the weekly review genuinely useful. Trading a $25,000 My Funded Futures account with FTMO Passer felt slower than my own attempts, and slower turned out to be faster. Risk per position stayed at a fraction of a percent, and the deepest equity dip I saw was 1.4%.
The target was reached with 1.4% drawdown at the worst point, and the confirmation email arrived the same week. the analyst assigned to me explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. FTMO Passer earned a repeat client, and this time I am starting with a bigger buffer of my own.
14 weeks of balanced execution
FTMO Passer manages my $50,000 FTMO account, and the biggest change has been how uneventful the weeks feel. I could pass a challenge repeatedly and could not hold an account for a full quarter.
The team scaled size only after a new equity high held for a full week, never during a run. They understood that the position size cap interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. The team took a full week off after a volatile stretch instead of trading through it.
My first payout arrived in week 5, which was the moment the whole thing became real for me. Questions were answered the same day, usually with a screenshot rather than a paragraph of jargon. FTMO Passer is not going to make you rich in a month, and that is precisely why my account still exists.
Measured daily routine kept my account alive
I passed on my own and immediately realised that funded trading is a different sport, which is where FTMO Passer came in. I was withdrawing nothing because I kept giving profits back before the payout window opened.
The book was reduced to two setups on the RTY, traded only during the the last hour of the session, with everything else filtered out. They understood that the minimum trading day rule interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. A hard weekly ceiling meant that even a terrible stretch left the account with room to recover.
Total return of 7.6% with clean withdrawals, and no compliance emails at any point. I got a weekly summary with every trade, the reasoning and the risk taken, which I have never had elsewhere. Recommended for anyone who works full time and cannot babysit a funded account.
Precise risk budgeting from start to finish
I went to FTMO Passer after two failed FTMO attempts, and the passing service changed everything. I would build a cushion for four days and hand it back in one London open tilt, which is a familiar story.
They deliberately kept the trade count low so the trailing threshold was never in question, even in a choppy week. What I appreciated is that FTMO Passer built the schedule around the FTMO rulebook rather than trying to trade around it. Risk was defined before entry every time, which sounds basic until you have watched yourself not do it.
We hit the target on day 6 and stopped trading immediately instead of adding a victory lap. They set expectations at the start and then reported against them, week after week. FTMO Passer earned a repeat client, and this time I am starting with a bigger buffer of my own.
Measured account handling from start to debrief
The prop firm passing service from FTMO Passer was the difference between another reset and a pass at Apex Trader Funding. I could not sit through a drawdown without touching the plan, and the evaluation punished that instantly.
my account manager mapped a day-by-day path to the target and refused to increase size just because we were ahead of schedule. The trailing threshold stopped being scary once FTMO Passer showed me the exact distance between our stop and the breach level. They preferred missing a move to widening a stop, and repeated that trade-off many times.
The target was reached with 2.4% drawdown at the worst point, and the confirmation email arrived the same week. 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.
Steady risk budgeting and a report worth the effort
The reporting from FTMO Passer is what convinced me the funded account management service was worth continuing after month one. The pressure of trading real payout money made me cut winners early and hold losers far too long.
They introduced a payout buffer, keeping a slice of profit untouched so a bad week never threatened the account. Topstep 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.
Returns averaged a modest but repeatable 3.0% over the period, and the equity-based drawdown was never in question. The dashboard access stayed with me throughout, so nothing about the process was hidden. Solid, unglamorous and still running, which is the best description I can give of this service.
