Refreshingly honest position sizing on a verification stage that pushed me
FTMO Passer manages my $10,000 URFX account, and the biggest change has been how uneventful the weeks feel. My first funded account died on a news spike I had no business being in front of.
They rebuilt the routine around preservation first: fixed fractional risk, a weekly loss ceiling, and no trading into red-folder events. The maximum drawdown at URFX caught me out twice on my own, and it has not been close since FTMO Passer took over. Floating drawdown was monitored constantly, not just the closed balance, which is the detail that matters.
My first payout arrived in week 20, which was the moment the whole thing became real for me. Everything was documented, so when I queried a trade the answer came with evidence attached. Recommended for anyone who works full time and cannot babysit a funded account.
How disciplined position sizing made it work
Third attempt, first success, and the only variable that changed was FTMO Passer handling the plan. I was one of those traders who read every rule and still broke the trailing threshold in the first fortnight.
They flatly refused to trade the New York open on volatile days, even when I argued there was an obvious move coming. DNA Funded does not care how good your analysis is, only whether you stay inside the trailing threshold, and the plan reflected that. Risk was defined before entry every time, which sounds basic until you have watched yourself not do it.
The result was 7.0% profit with 3.2% peak drawdown, and the funded credentials arrived shortly after. 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.
10 weeks of discipline, one qualification stage passed
FTMO Passer took over my URFX evaluation with 25 days left and still passed it cleanly. I could not sit through a drawdown without touching the plan, and the assessment punished that instantly.
The plan had a pause rule after three consecutive losses, and it triggered twice without any drama. URFX does not care how good your analysis is, only whether you stay inside the equity-based drawdown, and the plan reflected that. They tracked floating drawdown, not just closed losses, which is the detail most traders ignore.
The pass came in a quiet week, which is probably the highest compliment I can pay the process. The dashboard access stayed with me throughout, so nothing about the process was hidden. Not the cheapest service I looked at, but the only one that explained the risk before the reward.
Rules-first reporting on a qualification stage I had doubts about
FTMO Passer inherited a $100,000 Blue Guardian account with almost no drawdown room left and stabilised it. The pressure of trading real payout money made me cut winners early and hold losers far too long.
Monthly planning replaced daily improvisation, and that single change smoothed the entire curve. The scaling path at Blue Guardian only matters if you survive, and FTMO Passer treated survival as the first objective. Correlated positions were capped so a single dollar move could not hit the book three times.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 1.5%, and an equity curve that finally trends instead of zigzagging. Everything was documented, so when I queried a trade the answer came with evidence attached. FTMO Passer gave me back my evenings, and the account performance was almost a bonus.
Well-paced decision making on a first phase that demanded it
After the pass I had no idea how to trade live capital, so FTMO Passer stepped in with their funded account management service. Every payout felt like a finish line, and I celebrated by trading badly for the following week.
They ran a correlation cap across USDJPY and EURUSD so a single macro headline could not damage the account twice. They understood that the maximum drawdown interacts with open equity, not just closed losses, and traded accordingly. Peak drawdown across many weeks never exceeded 2.4%, which is the number I care about most.
The $100,000 account grew 8.4% across many weeks, and I have withdrawn a portion of that rather than compounding blindly. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. If your funded accounts keep dying in month one, this is the fix I would try.
15 weeks of consistent setup filtering
FTMO Passer took over my Blue Guardian evaluation and the evaluation passing service was immediately different. Work meant I could only watch the New York open, and I kept forcing setups that simply were not there.
The plan used a daily loss ceiling well inside the firm limit, so a bad day never came close to ending the run. The Blue Guardian dashboard was checked before every session so nobody was guessing about the remaining drawdown room. Every losing day ended early, which kept the maximum drawdown comfortably out of the conversation.
Final numbers: 5.7% profit, 2.0% maximum drawdown, and a passed qualification stage on a $10,000 account. Support replied within a couple of hours even during a busy week, which surprised me. FTMO Passer earned a repeat client, and this time I am starting with a bigger buffer of my own.
24 trading days of practical review process
FTMO Passer took over my $10,000 Traderscale evaluation and the results spoke for themselves. Work meant I could only watch the London open, and I kept forcing setups that simply were not there.
They rebuilt my routine around the London open instead of letting me stare at charts for twelve hours. The qualification stage at Traderscale rewards consistency over heroics, which suited the way FTMO Passer trades. Maximum drawdown never went past 1.7%, so the buffer against the firm limit was never seriously threatened.
It took 8 sessions, which was longer than the marketing suggested and exactly as long as the risk desk predicted. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. I would recommend FTMO Passer to anyone who is tired of trading against their own rulebook.
Detailed rule compliance on a first phase that pushed me
The funded management service at FTMO Passer suited me because I work full time and cannot watch USDJPY all day. Trading USDJPY and index CFDs together meant my risk was doubled while I thought it was diversified.
the team lead set a monthly objective and a hard drawdown floor, then sized every position backwards from that floor. They kept a permanent cushion against the Alpha Capital Group breach level, so a losing week never became an existential event. Every idea was sized at 0.20 lots, so no single position could define the month.
The $100,000 account grew 5.2% 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. FTMO Passer is not going to make you rich in a month, and that is precisely why my account still exists.
Well-paced reporting on a evaluation that tested patience
This is a review of the managed account service at FTMO Passer after many weeks on a live Sabio Trade account. Trading index CFDs and EURUSD together meant my risk was doubled while I thought it was diversified.
The book was reduced to two setups on index CFDs, traded only during the London open, with everything else filtered out. The Sabio Trade dashboard became something I check weekly instead of hourly, which is the real benefit here. They preferred a flat month to a breached account, and I have learned to feel the same way.
The account is still live after many months, 4.6% up, with withdrawals processed without an argument. When I panicked during a drawdown, the reply was calm, factual and about ten minutes away. Solid, unglamorous and still running, which is the best description I can give of this service.
Straightforward daily routine on a qualification stage that almost ended it
FTMO Passer made the verification stage at Alpha Capital Group feel achievable instead of impossible. Between meetings I was scalping the NAS100 on a phone, which is not a strategy so much as a habit.
They kept a separate note of every skipped setup, which taught me more than the winners did. I had read the Alpha Capital Group rules twice and still misunderstood the position size cap, but the team lead explained it in one paragraph. They tracked floating drawdown, not just closed losses, which is the detail most traders ignore.
Two small losing days, one flat week, and still a 2.8% finish that satisfied the position size cap. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. FTMO Passer did what they said they would do, on an account where I had already failed twice.
