Trading Tips for FTMO
Practice on a demo account for at least 2 weeks before going live. FTMO offers free demo with near-live conditions.
Start with $155-$500. While leverage up to 1:100 is available, beginners should stay at 1:100 or below.
Always set stop-losses. FTMO offers zero-cut protection, but proper stops preserve most of your capital.
Keep a trading journal: entry reasons, exit reasons, P/L, emotions. Weekly reviews for 3 months dramatically improve results.
Check the economic calendar before trading. NFP, FOMC, and CPI releases cause extreme volatility.
