Hi Samuel,
Here is the results of my first free FTMO Challenge. Notice the peak price on the chart at about $500. At this point I had passed all the challenges. All trading before the peak was done by manual trading. Once I passed all the challenges I then switched to a Portfolio of EA Studio strategies. Actually it was a Portfolio of 3 EA’s of EURUSD strategies, 3 EA’s of GBPUSD strategies, and 3 EA’s of USDJPY strategies. All 3 portfolio’s were 15 minute time frames. So after the peak in the chart all trading was done with these 3 Portfolio’s. Notice that as soon as I switched to auto trading there was a large drawdown that caused the portfolio to fail the FTMO challenge as the drawdown exceeded the rules of the challenge. Further notice that after this big drawdown the auto trading strategies started to trend upwards. If the big drawdown had not happened I most likely would have passed the FTMO Challenge, unfortunately, the 15 day time frame came to an end.
