I am writing to formally appeal the termination of my accounts #531285418 and #531310177, and to request a refund of my Challenge fee. **Regarding the account hedging accusation:** I strongly disagree with the classification of my trading activity as "account hedging." I want to clarify the following facts: - Both accounts were traded completely independently, at different time periods. - Account #531310177 was a newly purchased Challenge account (only 2 days old) with no trading activity that could constitute hedging. - I never simultaneously op...

Smooth platform experience, fast account setup, and competitive pricing compared to other prop firms.
My accounts were terminated for alleged cross-account hedging despite being traded independently and during different time periods. After submitting a payout request on May 19, I only then purchased an additional Phase 1 account. The accounts were not used simultaneously for hedging purposes. I believe the breach decision was unfair and lacked proper investigation.

Alleged cross-account hedging
Summary
My accounts were traded independently and during different time periods. After submitting a payout request on May 19, I only then purchased an additional Phase 1 account. The accounts were not used simultaneously for hedging purposes. Despite this, my accounts were terminated for alleged cross-account hedging.

FTMO is one of the largest prop trading firms. They are fair and refund the initial fee after successfully completing the challenge. In my opinion, FTMO is a very good choice for trading forex. I also tried trading indices there, but the downside is the higher spreads and overnight swap fees for holding positions. Overall, FTMO is an excellent company, but if someone mainly wants to trade indices, I would probably choose a different type of account or another prop firm.

FTMO feels like a solid and structured prop firm so far. Trading conditions are stable, spreads are fair, and execution is consistent. The rules are strict but clearly defined, which helps you stay disciplined. Customer support is responsive and answers questions quickly, which gives confidence when you’re still in the process. I haven’t made a payout yet, but overall the platform feels transparent and professional compared to many other firms. It seems more focused on long-term trading than quick wins.

What I like most about FTMO is that everything is clear and organized. The rules are strict but fair, and you always know what you need to do. The platform runs smoothly, and support is helpful when you need them.
What I liked the least is that the rules feel strict and can be limiting, especially if you trade more aggressively. One mistake can slow you down or reset progress, so it adds pressure.

I started my trading career in 2022, and from the very beginning FTMO was, for me, an example of a reliable prop firm. Compared to many questionable companies in the market, FTMO always seemed to me to be one of the most serious, stable, and professional firms. For a long time, I had a genuinely positive opinion of them and considered them a company with a strong reputation, clear rules, and a transparent approach to traders. That is why, after several years of learning, practicing, and gaining experience, I created an account with FTMO at the end ...

Before this situation, I had a very positive opinion of FTMO. I considered them one of the most reliable, serious, and professional prop firms in the market. Their strong reputation, clear evaluation structure, and my previous successful payout made me trust the company. At first, everything seemed transparent, fair, and well organized.
What I liked the least was the lack of transparency and fairness in the final decision. After I successfully passed the Verification phase and was supposed to receive a $100,000 funded account, FTMO permanently blocked my account under the vague reason of “one-sided betting.” They did not provide a detailed explanation of which exact trades were considered a violation. This completely destroyed my trust in the firm, especially because I have seen other traders report similar experiences with sudden blocks or rejections after showing profitable results.

One-sided betting
Summary
FTMO claimed that I breached their rules due to “one-sided betting.” I strongly disagree with this decision. My trading was based on high risk-to-reward setups, usually around 5R to 10R. I did not gradually increase the volume of the same position, I did not use excessive risk, and my risk was approximately 1–2% of the account balance per day. My total drawdown did not even reach 4%. I successfully passed the Verification phase and was supposed to receive a $100,000 funded account, but instead my account was permanently blocked. FTMO did not provide a clear explanation of which exact trades violated their rules or why my trading was considered one-sided betting.

Mi experiencia personal con FTMO fue fuerte, porque fue mi primera evaluación en CFDs… y la quemé. Entré motivado, con confianza, pensando que la iba a pasar sin problema. Pero ya cuando estás en evaluación real, la presión es otra. No es lo mismo que demo ni nada de eso. Cometí varios errores que en el momento no veía claros: sobreoperé, subí el riesgo más de la cuenta y en algunos trades dejé que las emociones decidieran por mí. Básicamente, no respeté al 100% mi gestión de riesgo ni el plan. El drawdown me fue comiendo poco a poco, hasta que term...

Lo que más me gustó de la forma de FTMO fue la estructura clara que te obliga a ser disciplinado. Me gustó que todo está bien definido: Tienes un objetivo de profit claro Un drawdown máximo diario y total Y reglas específicas que, si las sigues, sabes exactamente qué esperar Eso te pone en modo profesional sí o sí. No es como tradear sin control, aquí cada decisión cuenta.
Lo que menos me gustó de FTMO fue la presión constante del drawdown, sobre todo el diario. Sientes que no tienes mucho margen para equivocarte. Un mal día o dos trades mal gestionados y ya estás cerca de violar la cuenta. Eso hace que a veces uno opere más tenso de lo normal, y esa misma presión puede jugarte en contra. También: El límite diario puede sacarte aunque tu análisis sea bueno a largo plazo A veces sientes que estás más enfocado en no perder que en ejecutar bien Y psicológicamente, el hecho de que es una evaluación pagada pesa En resumen, lo que menos me gustó fue que el sistema puede volverse muy exigente mentalmente, especialmente si todavía no tienes el control emocional al 100%.

The company is good, but the slippage and spread are deadly in this field. You have $200 left, and the daily minimum loss is between 30 and 50 pips. If you've calculated this, it will go the opposite way, and you'll lose your account in an unreasonable way.

I have traded with FTMO since 2010. I have no complaints, no hidden rules. No payment denial, unlike some scammer propfirms like FUNDEDNEXT and 5ers. No one urged me to do this review, but I believe it is necessary to do so because it's not only when we have a wrong experience that we come and do review. FTMO pays me each biweekly when I make profits. No concerns at all.
