The first phase that taught me position sizing
This is a review of the funded management service at FTMO Passer after many weeks on a live URFX account. I was withdrawing nothing because I kept giving profits back before the payout window opened.
They kept a running drawdown tracker open all session so nobody had to guess how much room was left. The position size cap on a funded URFX account is unforgiving, and FTMO Passer built the entire schedule around staying clear of it. They preferred a flat month to a breached account, and I have learned to feel the same way.
Steady 5.1% growth, 1.6% maximum drawdown, and a payout history I can actually show people. the team lead explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. My only complaint is that I did not find FTMO Passer before losing the first two accounts.
Unhurried progress tracking and a review I did not anticipate
The evaluation passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that explained the consistency requirement clearly. I kept widening stops, and the DNA Funded dashboard was unforgiving about the drawdown that followed.
A pre-session checklist had to be completed before any order went in, which slowed me down in the best way. The two-step process at DNA Funded rewards consistency over heroics, which suited the way FTMO Passer trades. Correlated exposure was capped, so a single dollar move could not take out three positions at once.
I ended 4.0% up with no rule violations, which matters more to me than the speed of the pass. I was told about a mistake before I noticed it myself, and told how it would be prevented next time. I came for the pass and left with a risk framework I now use on my personal account.
How level-headed risk budgeting changed the outcome
I am writing this because the URFX evaluation FTMO Passer managed for me finished without a single rule breach. Every green day tempted me to double size, and every red day convinced me to stop trading entirely.
They logged every entry with a screenshot and a one-line reason, which made the weekly review genuinely useful. What I appreciated is that FTMO Passer built the schedule around the URFX rulebook rather than trying to trade around it. The team took a full day off after a rough session rather than trying to win it back immediately.
Confirmation came through with a 6.3% return and a drawdown profile I could actually defend to myself. The dashboard access stayed with me throughout, so nothing about the process was hidden. My only regret is not doing this before paying for three resets at URFX.
6 days of systematic execution
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.
The team scaled size only after a new equity high held for a full week, never during a run. They planned around the Blue Guardian minimum days rather than rushing to a payout and breaching in the process. They kept a written worst-case scenario and traded as if it were plausible that week.
The account survived two volatile stretches that would have finished me on my own, and still ended 3.3% higher. Messages were concise and specific, which I appreciate more than daily motivational noise. FTMO Passer gave me back my evenings, and the account performance was almost a bonus.
Refreshingly honest review process and the review I did not expect
I lost two funded accounts before handing the third to FTMO Passer, and that one is still breathing. I was withdrawing nothing because I kept giving profits back before the payout window opened.
The book was reduced to two setups on the NAS100, traded only during the London open, with everything else filtered out. Managing a $10,000 Traderscale account with FTMO Passer meant fewer decisions for me and better ones overall. Floating drawdown was monitored constantly, not just the closed balance, which is the detail that matters.
The account survived two volatile stretches that would have finished me on my own, and still ended 4.2% higher. Questions were answered the same day, usually with a screenshot rather than a paragraph of jargon. I have already moved a second Traderscale account across to FTMO Passer, which is my honest review in one sentence.
Balanced position sizing on a qualification stage I had doubts about
FTMO Passer made the qualification stage at Blue Guardian feel structured instead of random. I had passed a demo contest once and assumed the same approach would scale, which it did not.
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 trailing threshold stopped being scary once FTMO Passer showed me the exact distance between our stop and the breach level. Correlated exposure was capped, so a single dollar move could not take out three positions at once.
The pass came in a quiet week, which is probably the highest compliment I can pay the process. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. My only regret is not doing this before paying for three resets at Blue Guardian.
Disciplined trade selection, and a verification stage that finally ended well
FTMO Passer ran my Traderscale challenge through their challenge passing service, and the structure alone changed how I treated every session. Solo trading gave me freedom, and I used that freedom to break every limit I had written down.
The first week was almost boring: small size on the S&P 500 CFD, fixed stops, and a hard stop for the day after two losses. The team treated the Traderscale evaluation as a risk budget to be spent carefully rather than a race to be won. 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 7.5% finish that satisfied the consistency requirement. 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.
18 days of professional planning
This is a review of the managed account service at FTMO Passer after many weeks on a live Alpha Capital Group account. I had no routine, no review process, and no idea how close I was to the trailing threshold on any given day.
the team lead set a monthly objective and a hard drawdown floor, then sized every position backwards from that floor. FTMO Passer treated my Alpha Capital Group account as a long-term asset rather than a lottery ticket, which is rare. A hard weekly ceiling meant that even a terrible stretch left the account with room to recover.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 1.6%, and an equity curve that finally trends instead of zigzagging. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. FTMO Passer gave me back my evenings, and the account performance was almost a bonus.
How quietly effective planning turned things around
Handing a $10,000 account to FTMO Passer was uncomfortable for about a week and then a relief. Live capital felt completely different, and my first month on Sabio Trade was a masterclass in second-guessing.
The team scaled size only after a new equity high held for a full week, never during a run. FTMO Passer knew exactly how the Sabio Trade payout cycle worked and planned withdrawals around it rather than around my mood. Every idea was sized at 0.20 lots, so no single position could define the month.
The account survived two volatile stretches that would have finished me on my own, and still ended 5.9% higher. Messages were concise and specific, which I appreciate more than daily motivational noise. The fee made sense once the first payout cleared, and it has made sense every month since.
Realistic execution on a funded stage that tested me
FTMO Passer made the qualification stage at Alpha Capital Group feel achievable instead of impossible. I could not sit through a drawdown without touching the plan, and the qualification stage punished that instantly.
They traded fewer setups than I would have, mostly the DAX around the London open, and skipped anything near red-folder news. The Alpha Capital Group dashboard was checked before every session so nobody was guessing about the remaining drawdown room. Even the best setups were sized at 0.35 lots, so no single idea could dominate the outcome.
The target was reached with 1.6% drawdown at the worst point, and the confirmation email arrived the same week. Messages were concise and specific, which I appreciate more than daily motivational noise. Solid work from FTMO Passer, and the reporting alone justified the fee for me.
