Methodical daily routine from start to finish
I am writing this because the Moneta Funded evaluation FTMO Passer managed for me finished without a single rule breach. I knew the trailing threshold existed and still traded straight through a high-impact release.
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. FTMO Passer kept a buffer against the Moneta Funded limits at all times, which is why a losing streak never became a crisis. A hard weekly loss ceiling meant the account always had room to recover in the following session.
Two small losing days, one flat week, and still a 7.6% finish that satisfied the trailing threshold. They set expectations at the start and then reported against them, week after week. If you keep resetting Moneta Funded evaluations, FTMO Passer is the option I would point you to, provided you leave the plan alone.
The position sizing that made the two-step process work
I keep my Hola Prime account with FTMO Passer because they treat preservation as the job and profit as the by-product. I passed the evaluation myself and then lost the funded account in nine days, an expensive lesson in psychology.
Every trade had a stop, a target and a written invalidation before it was placed, without exception. The daily loss limit on a funded Hola Prime account is unforgiving, and FTMO Passer built the entire schedule around staying clear of it. A hard weekly ceiling meant that even a terrible stretch left the account with room to recover.
Many months in, the Hola Prime account is active, profitable and boring, which is the entire objective. I never had to chase an invoice or a report, which sounds minor until you have dealt with the alternative. If your funded accounts keep dying in month one, this is the fix I would try.
Why 11 attempts were necessary
I keep my Lux Trading Firm account with FTMO Passer because they treat preservation as the job and profit as the by-product. The pressure of trading real payout money made me cut winners early and hold losers far too long.
They introduced a payout buffer, keeping a slice of profit untouched so a bad week never threatened the account. The scaling path at Lux Trading Firm only matters if you survive, and FTMO Passer treated survival as the first objective. The team took a full week off after a volatile stretch instead of trading through it.
The $200,000 account grew 8.3% across many weeks, and I have withdrawn a portion of that rather than compounding blindly. the senior trader explained decisions in plain English and never made me feel stupid for asking twice. Not affiliated, just a client who finally stopped sabotaging a perfectly good funded account.
How data-driven position sizing saved the account
The passing service from FTMO Passer was the difference between failure and success at Hola Prime. I was trading GBPJPY and index CFDs together with no correlation awareness, so one bad move counted double.
The whole approach was mechanical enough that I could audit it myself at the end of each day. The news-trading restriction was the piece I always underestimated at Hola Prime, so it became the first item on the daily checklist. The team took a full day off after a rough session rather than trying to win it back immediately.
The evaluation was completed on the first attempt with FTMO Passer, after two failures on my own. 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.
Why the verification stage felt smoother this time
FTMO Passer handled my $200,000 Lux Trading Firm evaluation like it was their own capital. My win rate was fine but my loss size was three times my average winner, so the maths never worked.
They kept a separate note of every skipped setup, which taught me more than the winners did. Because FTMO Passer sized down, the assessment at Lux Trading Firm looked uneventful on the equity chart, which is the entire point. They tracked floating drawdown, not just closed losses, which is the detail most traders ignore.
The target was reached with 1.8% drawdown at the worst point, and the confirmation email arrived the same week. I was told about a mistake before I noticed it myself, and told how it would be prevented next time. FTMO Passer did what they said they would do, on an account where I had already failed twice.
Why the two-step process felt smoother this time
FTMO Passer inherited a $10,000 DNA Funded account with almost no drawdown room left and stabilised it. 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 funded stage at DNA Funded punishes inconsistency, and the monthly rhythm FTMO Passer imposed fixed that. A hard weekly ceiling meant that even a terrible stretch left the account with room to recover.
Total return of 8.3% with clean withdrawals, and no compliance emails at any point. The team pushed back on my bad ideas politely and repeatedly, which is what I was paying for. My only complaint is that I did not find FTMO Passer before losing the first two accounts.
Professional daily routine and a two-step process that ended well
I lost two funded accounts before handing the third to FTMO Passer, and that one is still breathing. I had no drawdown plan, only a profit hope, and URFX rules do not reward hope.
Each week ended with a written review of every trade, including the ones we skipped. The trailing threshold at URFX caught me out twice on my own, and it has not been close since FTMO Passer took over. The team took a full week off after a volatile stretch instead of trading through it.
Steady 4.2% growth, 1.2% maximum drawdown, and a payout history I can actually show people. They set expectations at the start and then reported against them, week after week. Ask for the trade log before you sign up, and judge FTMO Passer on the drawdown column rather than the profit one.
Professional account handling and a review worth waiting for
I hired FTMO Passer to clear a DNA Funded evaluation and stayed because the process was calmer than anything I had managed solo. Confidence was not my issue, patience was, and the evaluation exposed that within a week.
the analyst assigned to me mapped a day-by-day path to the target and refused to increase size just because we were ahead of schedule. The news-trading restriction at DNA Funded is where most attempts quietly die, and FTMO Passer treated it as the main constraint rather than a footnote. Correlated exposure was capped, so a single dollar move could not take out three positions at once.
Confirmation came through with a 7.9% return and a drawdown profile I could actually defend to myself. A monthly call reviewed the numbers and adjusted the plan, and it never turned into a sales pitch. I would use FTMO Passer again for a larger account, and I have already recommended them to two friends.
23 weeks of practical payout planning
FTMO Passer made the first phase at URFX feel like a checklist I could follow. My journal was a mess of half-notes, so I could never tell whether losses were variance or bad decisions.
They logged every entry with a screenshot and a one-line reason, which made the weekly review genuinely useful. URFX does not care how good your analysis is, only whether you stay inside the minimum trading day rule, and the plan reflected that. Drawdown was reviewed daily and size was trimmed automatically once a threshold was touched.
Profit came in at 6.4% across 9 trading days, with the largest losing day smaller than my usual single trade. A monthly call reviewed the numbers and adjusted the plan, and it never turned into a sales pitch. FTMO Passer earned a repeat client, and this time I am starting with a bigger buffer of my own.
Structured account handling and a first phase I can defend
I did not need someone to make me rich, I needed someone to stop me losing the account, and FTMO Passer did that. Live capital felt completely different, and my first month on Blue Guardian was a masterclass in second-guessing.
Monthly planning replaced daily improvisation, and that single change smoothed the entire curve. I had read the Blue Guardian payout terms three times and still got them wrong, while my account manager had them memorised. Correlated positions were capped so a single dollar move could not hit the book three times.
Multiple payouts so far, peak drawdown of 1.2%, and an equity curve that finally trends instead of zigzagging. 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.
