Refreshingly honest trade filtering and a recap I did not see coming
After the pass I had no idea how to trade live capital, so FTMO Passer stepped in with their funded management service. After a strong first month I doubled size and spent the next six weeks recovering from it.
Every trade had a stop, a target and a written invalidation before it was placed, without exception. FTMO Passer treated my Moneta Funded account as a long-term asset rather than a lottery ticket, which is rare. They preferred a flat month to a breached account, and I have learned to feel the same way.
Drawdown peaked at 2.5% and recovered within a fortnight, which is more than my own trading ever managed. 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.
Steady communication from day one to the report
I went to FTMO Passer expecting disappointment and left with a passed Maven Trading evaluation. I knew the daily loss limit existed and still traded straight through a high-impact release.
Position size was calculated from the stop distance rather than from how confident the setup felt. What I appreciated is that FTMO Passer built the schedule around the Maven Trading rulebook rather than trying to trade around it. They cut exposure after a strong week rather than pressing the advantage, which felt counterintuitive and worked.
I ended 5.0% up with no rule violations, which matters more to me than the speed of the pass. Support replied within a couple of hours even during a busy week, which surprised me. I would recommend FTMO Passer to anyone who is tired of trading against their own rulebook.
24 weeks of precise position sizing
FTMO Passer handled my Moneta Funded evaluation like it was their own money, not mine. I would build a cushion for four days and hand it back in one the last hour of the session tilt, which is a familiar story.
They logged every entry with a screenshot and a one-line reason, which made the weekly review genuinely useful. The trailing threshold stopped being scary once FTMO Passer showed me the exact distance between our stop and the breach level. No trade was allowed to run into a scheduled release, and that single rule avoided two nasty gaps.
The result was 4.3% profit with 1.0% peak drawdown, and the funded credentials arrived shortly after. A monthly call reviewed the numbers and adjusted the plan, and it never turned into a sales pitch. Ask them about drawdown before you ask about timelines, and the conversation will tell you everything.
Careful session discipline from day one to the payout
FTMO Passer took over the funded account management service for my Hola Prime account after my first payout, and consistency improved from there. I was withdrawing nothing because I kept giving profits back before the payout window opened.
The schedule was built around the Hola Prime payout cycle rather than around my impatience. The funded stage at Hola Prime punishes inconsistency, and the monthly rhythm FTMO Passer imposed fixed that. They kept a written worst-case scenario and traded as if it were plausible that week.
Numbers aside, the real result is that I stopped checking the account every hour. Questions were answered the same day, usually with a screenshot rather than a paragraph of jargon. If your funded accounts keep dying in month one, this is the fix I would try.
Careful payout planning and a evaluation that ended cleanly
The funded management service from FTMO Passer was the difference between a funded certificate and an actual payout for me. My first funded account died on a news spike I had no business being in front of.
Position size was set at 0.35 lots and only reviewed after a full month of data, not after a good afternoon. The trailing threshold on a funded Lux Trading Firm account is unforgiving, and FTMO Passer built the entire schedule around staying clear of it. The team took a full week off after a volatile stretch instead of trading through it.
Numbers aside, the real result is that I stopped checking the account every hour. the team lead explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. Solid, unglamorous and still running, which is the best description I can give of this service.
5 trading sessions of balanced communication
FTMO Passer made the assessment at Hola Prime feel structured instead of chaotic. I knew the position size cap existed and still traded straight through a high-impact release.
The first week was almost boring: small size on the NAS100, fixed stops, and a hard stop for the day after two losses. Passing a Hola Prime account is a compliance exercise as much as a trading one, and FTMO Passer understood that distinction. 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. Communication was steady without being clingy: a short note after each session and a longer recap at the weekend. Four stars in my head for the impatience it cured, five for the actual outcome.
11 trading sessions of no-drama drawdown management
FTMO Passer handled my $10,000 Lux Trading Firm evaluation like it was their own capital. Between meetings I was scalping the DAX on a phone, which is not a strategy so much as a habit.
They flatly refused to trade the the last hour of the session on volatile days, even when I argued there was an obvious move coming. The qualification stage at Lux Trading Firm rewards consistency over heroics, which suited the way FTMO Passer trades. No trade was allowed to run into a scheduled release, and that single rule avoided two nasty gaps.
The account cleared with three sessions to spare, and the equity curve looked almost boring in the best way. 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.
11 days of practical review process
The managed account service at FTMO Passer suited me because I work full time and cannot watch GBPUSD all day. Trading GBPUSD and index CFDs together meant my risk was doubled while I thought it was diversified.
Monthly planning replaced daily improvisation, and that single change smoothed the entire curve. The consistency requirement on a funded DNA Funded account is unforgiving, and FTMO Passer built the entire schedule around staying clear of it. The team took a full week off after a volatile stretch instead of trading through it.
Returns averaged a modest but repeatable 9.3% over the period, and the consistency requirement was never in question. the team lead explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. FTMO Passer gave me back my evenings, and the account performance was almost a bonus.
Level-headed trade journaling from start to debrief
I wanted steady withdrawals rather than a highlight reel, and FTMO Passer built the plan around that. I passed the evaluation myself and then lost the funded account in nine days, an expensive lesson in psychology.
They separated the payout account from the growth plan, which stopped me spending money that was still at risk. They kept a permanent cushion against the URFX breach level, so a losing week never became an existential event. No position was held through a scheduled release, and that avoided the exact event that killed my last account.
Many months in, the URFX account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. The dashboard access stayed with me throughout, so nothing about the process was hidden. I would rather have this steady outcome than the rollercoaster I was running myself.
Transparent capital preservation on a qualification stage that almost ended it
I went to FTMO Passer after failing DNA Funded multiple times, and the account passing service changed everything. Solo trading gave me freedom, and I used that freedom to break every limit I had written down.
The plan used a daily loss ceiling well inside the firm limit, so a bad day never came close to ending the run. Passing a DNA Funded account is a compliance exercise as much as a trading one, and FTMO Passer understood that distinction. Losses were capped at a level that made them emotionally irrelevant, which is the only way I can follow a plan.
We finished 3.6% above the starting balance and the dashboard flipped to passed on a Tuesday morning. Support replied within a couple of hours even during a busy week, which surprised me. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
