8 weeks of structured reporting
FTMO Passer manages my $10,000 Moneta Funded account, and the biggest change has been how uneventful the weeks feel. Live capital felt completely different, and my first month on Moneta Funded was a masterclass in second-guessing.
Trade selection was filtered by session and volatility, so the quiet hours were simply not traded. Live Moneta Funded conditions are not demo conditions, and FTMO Passer adjusted size for spreads and slippage accordingly. Stops were never widened, and the average loser stayed smaller than the average winner all quarter.
Total return of 7.4% with clean withdrawals, and no compliance emails at any point. I was told about a mistake before I noticed it myself, and told how it would be prevented next time. The fee made sense once the first payout cleared, and it has made sense every month since.
Methodical account handling and a payout worth the effort
FTMO Passer made the evaluation at Maven Trading feel achievable instead of impossible. My win rate was fine but my loss size was three times my average winner, so the maths never worked.
Each morning started with a two-minute plan and ended with a two-minute debrief, nothing more complicated than that. The minimum trading day rule was the piece I always underestimated at Maven Trading, so it became the first item on the daily checklist. They kept a written worst-case number on the desk and traded as though it could happen that afternoon.
I ended 9.1% up with no rule violations, which matters more to me than the speed of the pass. The dashboard access stayed with me throughout, so nothing about the process was hidden. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
Straightforward capital preservation and a funded stage that ended well
I tried three other services before FTMO Passer, and only they treated the Moneta Funded rules seriously. I was one of those traders who read every rule and still broke the trailing threshold in the first fortnight.
The first week was almost boring: small size on index CFDs, fixed stops, and a hard stop for the day after two losses. FTMO Passer kept a buffer against the Moneta Funded limits at all times, which is why a losing streak never became a crisis. Every losing day ended early, which kept the trailing threshold comfortably out of the conversation.
The evaluation passed cleanly, and the summary report listed every trade with its reasoning attached. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
A evaluation handled with careful trade journaling
Handing a $150,000 account to FTMO Passer was uncomfortable for about a week and then a relief. The equity-based drawdown 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 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.
The scaling review came through after many months of consistent results, exactly as the plan projected. Updates were honest about losing days, which is the fastest way to earn trust with me. I will keep renewing with FTMO Passer as long as the drawdown discipline stays where it is.
Practical planning on a qualification stage that tested me
FTMO Passer inherited a $25,000 Lux Trading Firm account with almost no drawdown room left and stabilised it. 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 understood that the news-trading restriction interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. Every idea was sized at 0.35 lots, so no single position could define the month.
My first payout arrived in week 9, which was the moment the whole thing became real for me. Communication was steady without being clingy: a short note after each session and a longer recap at the weekend. Five stars for consistency, and the reporting is what earns that rather than the returns.
Rules-first trade journaling from week one to the withdrawal
I went to FTMO Passer after two failed Hola Prime attempts, and the account passing service was a revelation. I used to treat an evaluation like a lottery ticket, which explains the resets on my card.
The first week was almost boring: small size on GBPUSD, fixed stops, and a hard stop for the day after two losses. The maximum drawdown at Hola Prime is where most attempts quietly die, and FTMO Passer treated it as the main constraint rather than a footnote. Losses were capped at a level that made them emotionally irrelevant, which is the only way I can follow a plan.
The target was reached with 2.1% drawdown at the worst point, and the confirmation email arrived the same week. The onboarding call ran long because I had questions, and nobody tried to rush me off it. Recommended, with the honest caveat that you still have to resist the urge to interfere.
No-drama loss capping when it mattered most
FTMO Passer handled my Lux Trading Firm evaluation with a level of discipline I had never seen. Every earlier attempt died the same way: a revenge trade after a stop out, then the equity-based drawdown finished me off.
They began with a risk audit, cut my per-trade exposure to a fraction of what I used, and built the plan around the equity-based drawdown. The equity-based drawdown stopped being scary once FTMO Passer showed me the exact distance between our stop and the breach level. They cut exposure after a strong week rather than pressing the advantage, which felt counterintuitive and worked.
Profit came in at 6.2% across 7 trading days, with the largest losing day smaller than my usual single trade. Questions were answered the same day, usually with a screenshot rather than a paragraph of jargon. I have no affiliation with FTMO Passer, just one passed evaluation and a much better sense of risk.
Practical communication and a two-step process that ended properly
This is a review of the managed account service at FTMO Passer after many weeks on a live DNA Funded account. I kept treating the funded account like a challenge account, and the maximum drawdown does not forgive that.
They kept a running drawdown tracker open all session so nobody had to guess how much room was left. The funded stage at DNA Funded punishes inconsistency, and the monthly rhythm FTMO Passer imposed fixed that. Peak drawdown across many weeks never exceeded 2.6%, which is the number I care about most.
Drawdown peaked at 2.6% and recovered within a fortnight, which is more than my own trading ever managed. There was a shared sheet I could check any time, so I never had to ask how the account was doing. My only complaint is that I did not find FTMO Passer before losing the first two accounts.
Well-paced execution and a payout I can explain
FTMO Passer runs two funded accounts for me now, after the first one behaved exactly as they described. The pressure of trading real payout money made me cut winners early and hold losers far too long.
They documented the position size cap in a one-page sheet that sat next to the order ticket. The funded stage at URFX punishes inconsistency, and the monthly rhythm FTMO Passer imposed fixed that. After two losses in a session the desk closed, no exceptions and no negotiation.
The account is still live after many months, 8.0% up, with withdrawals processed without an argument. Everything was documented, so when I queried a trade the answer came with evidence attached. FTMO Passer is not going to make you rich in a month, and that is precisely why my account still exists.
4 weeks of well-paced execution
The evaluation passing service at FTMO Passer was the first thing that respected the DNA Funded rulebook. The account was small enough that I felt careless with it, which is exactly the wrong mindset.
Each morning started with a two-minute plan and ended with a two-minute debrief, nothing more complicated than that. FTMO Passer explained how the first phase interacts with the trailing threshold using my own account numbers, which finally made it click. Even the best setups were sized at 0.35 lots, so no single idea could dominate the outcome.
It took 21 sessions, which was longer than the marketing suggested and exactly as long as the analyst assigned to me predicted. Communication was steady without being clingy: a short note after each session and a longer recap at the weekend. If your problem is discipline rather than strategy, FTMO Passer solves the right problem.
