23 weeks of consistent drawdown management
FTMO Passer inherited a $25,000 URFX account with almost no drawdown room left and stabilised it. I could pass a challenge repeatedly and could not hold an account for a full quarter.
They ran a correlation cap across gold and oil so a single macro headline could not damage the account twice. Live URFX conditions are not demo conditions, and FTMO Passer adjusted size for spreads and slippage accordingly. A hard weekly ceiling meant that even a terrible stretch left the account with room to recover.
Numbers aside, the real result is that I stopped checking the account every hour. 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.
5 days of professional position sizing
I hired FTMO Passer to clear a DNA Funded evaluation and stayed because the process was calmer than anything I had managed solo. The rules looked fine on paper, but I never respected how open equity counted against the equity-based drawdown.
They rebuilt my routine around the London open instead of letting me stare at charts for twelve hours. Trading a $150,000 DNA Funded account with FTMO Passer felt slower than my own attempts, and slower turned out to be faster. No trade was allowed to run into a scheduled release, and that single rule avoided two nasty gaps.
Confirmation came through with a 3.8% 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. Recommended, with the honest caveat that you still have to resist the urge to interfere.
Careful drawdown management from week one to the review
I went to FTMO Passer expecting disappointment and left with a passed URFX evaluation. I had already spent more on resets than on education, and that number is what made me look for help.
Partial profits were taken at a fixed level and the remainder trailed, so no winner was allowed to become a loser. URFX does not care how good your analysis is, only whether you stay inside the equity-based drawdown, and the plan reflected that. The team took a full day off after a rough session rather than trying to win it back immediately.
The $10,000 account finished 6.4% higher, with the deepest dip held to 1.0% throughout. Communication was steady without being clingy: a short note after each session and a longer recap at the weekend. I came for the pass and left with a risk framework I now use on my personal account.
Patient reporting and a two-step process that ended properly
FTMO Passer took over the managed account service for my Blue Guardian account after my first payout, and consistency improved from there. The trailing threshold on a funded account is stricter on your nerves than on your strategy, and mine were shot.
Exposure was trimmed before weekends and rebuilt on Monday, a small habit that avoided two gaps. The Blue Guardian dashboard became something I check weekly instead of hourly, which is the real benefit here. Stops were never widened, and the average loser stayed smaller than the average winner all quarter.
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. Five stars for consistency, and the reporting is what earns that rather than the returns.
Unhurried progress tracking on a funded stage that almost ended it
After the pass I had no idea how to trade live capital, so FTMO Passer stepped in with their account management service. After a strong first month I doubled size and spent the next six weeks recovering from it.
The team scaled size only after a new equity high held for a full week, never during a run. The news-trading restriction on a funded Traderscale account is unforgiving, and FTMO Passer built the entire schedule around staying clear of it. They flattened everything before a long weekend and rebuilt exposure slowly on the Monday.
Over many weeks the $150,000 account returned 5.7% with a deepest dip of 2.0%, and payouts landed on schedule. The team pushed back on my bad ideas politely and repeatedly, which is what I was paying for. Five stars for consistency, and the reporting is what earns that rather than the returns.
Methodical session discipline from start to finish
My run with FTMO Passer started with a $200,000 Blue Guardian account and an honest conversation about what was realistic. Every earlier attempt died the same way: a revenge trade after a stop out, then the equity-based drawdown finished me off.
Each morning started with a two-minute plan and ended with a two-minute debrief, nothing more complicated than that. Ignoring the equity-based drawdown is what cost me two accounts at Blue Guardian, and it was the one thing FTMO Passer never did. The team took a full day off after a rough session rather than trying to win it back immediately.
We finished 5.6% above the starting balance and the dashboard flipped to passed on a Tuesday morning. The team pushed back on my bad ideas politely and repeatedly, which is what I was paying for. Four stars in my head for the impatience it cured, five for the actual outcome.
No-drama account handling and a assessment that ended well
I hired FTMO Passer to clear a Traderscale evaluation and stayed because the process was calmer than anything I had managed solo. I had passed a demo contest once and assumed the same approach would scale, which it did not.
Each morning started with a two-minute plan and ended with a two-minute debrief, nothing more complicated than that. The assessment at Traderscale rewards consistency over heroics, which suited the way FTMO Passer trades. Maximum drawdown never went past 1.0%, so the buffer against the firm limit was never seriously threatened.
I ended 9.0% 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. It is a service, not a shortcut, and once I accepted that the whole thing went smoothly.
A evaluation handled with organised drawdown management
FTMO Passer took the emotion out of my Alpha Capital Group funded account, which was the only thing wrong with it. 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. Live Alpha Capital Group conditions are not demo conditions, and FTMO Passer adjusted size for spreads and slippage accordingly. They flattened everything before a long weekend and rebuilt exposure slowly on the Monday.
Best month was strong, worst month was small and negative, and that ratio is why I stayed with FTMO Passer. They set expectations at the start and then reported against them, week after week. Not affiliated, just a client who finally stopped sabotaging a perfectly good funded account.
Methodical communication from start to recap
Passing was the easy part, keeping a Sabio Trade 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.
Monthly planning replaced daily improvisation, and that single change smoothed the entire curve. They planned around the Sabio Trade minimum days rather than rushing to a payout and breaching in the process. Peak drawdown across many weeks never exceeded 3.0%, which is the number I care about most.
The account survived two volatile stretches that would have finished me on my own, and still ended 7.0% higher. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. Solid, unglamorous and still running, which is the best description I can give of this service.
No hype, just level-headed account handling
FTMO Passer made the qualification stage at Alpha Capital Group feel structured instead of random. I was one of those traders who read every rule and still broke the consistency requirement in the first fortnight.
The plan had a pause rule after three consecutive losses, and it triggered twice without any drama. Most services talk about profit targets, while FTMO Passer spent the first call talking about the Alpha Capital Group breach conditions. No trade was allowed to run into a scheduled release, and that single rule avoided two nasty gaps.
The evaluation passed cleanly, and the summary report listed every trade with its reasoning attached. The team pushed back on my bad ideas politely and repeatedly, which is what I was paying for. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
