The Reality

Most FTMO challenges fail on the daily loss rule.

FTMO's published pass rate hovers around 10%. The single most common reason traders fail is not poor strategy or bad luck. It's breaching the 5% daily loss limit, usually inside the first two weeks, usually because of news volatility or a stop hunt that wicked through their level and triggered a panic close.

5%

Daily loss limit on FTMO. On a $100K account, that's $5,000. One bad position, one news spike, one stop hunt below a support, and the challenge is over before you even reached the profit target.

The traders who pass FTMO consistently are not the ones with the flashiest entries. They're the ones with the most disciplined risk framework. They know exactly how big their next position can be without breaching the rules. They know which sessions and news events carry tail risk. They know where smart money is positioned. That's what ScalpView gives you.

How ScalpView Helps

Every tool mapped to an FTMO rule.

This isn't a generic charting platform. Every feature was built with prop firm constraints in mind, including FTMO's specific framework.

K

Kill Room

A pre-trade risk console that tells you the maximum lot size you can take without breaching the 5% daily loss limit, given your current account balance. Tracks live DD throughout the day.

M

Manipulation Tracker

Highlights recent stop runs and liquidity sweeps in real time across XAU/USD, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and indices. Place your stops outside common hunt zones to avoid being wicked into a violation.

S

Signal Room

Per-asset bias derived from technicals, COT institutional positioning, and AI synthesis. High-confidence setups only. Reduces overtrading, which is the second most common cause of FTMO failure after DD breaches.

I

Institutional Flow

Live COT data and hedge-fund 4-week net positioning. Trade with the institutions, not against them. Particularly useful for swing positions during FTMO Phase 2 where the profit target is lower.

C

Red-Folder Calendar

Filtered economic calendar showing only high-impact events. Includes session times in your local timezone. Avoid the news spikes that account for a disproportionate share of daily loss breaches.

K

Key Levels

Pivot points, prior day high/low, ATR ranges, and weekly opens for all major pairs. Define stop placement that respects both the trade structure and your max drawdown budget.

The Rules Mapping

How ScalpView keeps you compliant with every FTMO rule.

FTMO has five constraints that must be respected for the entire challenge. Here's how ScalpView helps with each one.

5% Daily Loss Limit
The Kill Room calculates your current day's drawdown live, shows you how much risk budget remains, and warns before you size into a position that would breach the limit if it hits stop. No more calculator-on-the-side maths.
10% Maximum Loss Limit
The same Kill Room tracks cumulative drawdown from initial balance. Color-coded warnings appear when you're within 2% of the max. Built-in safety margin.
Profit Target (10% Phase 1, 5% Phase 2)
The Signal Room shows high-confidence setups only, ranked by historical hit rate. Less overtrading, more targeted entries. Reach the target with fewer trades.
Minimum 4 Trading Days
Dashboard logs every trading day automatically. You always know how many qualifying days remain. Never forget the minimum requirement.
News Trading Restrictions
The Red-Folder Calendar flags every high-impact event 30 minutes before it hits. Push notifications optional. No accidental violations from forgotten NFPs or CPI prints.
Phase-by-Phase Playbook

How successful FTMO traders use ScalpView at each stage.

Phase 01

The Challenge

Target: 10% profit · Max DD: 10% · Daily: 5%

Use the Signal Room to identify 2-3 high-confidence setups per week. Run every position through the Kill Room before entry. Avoid news days entirely. Focus on quality over quantity.

Phase 02

The Verification

Target: 5% profit · Max DD: 10% · Daily: 5%

Lean on Institutional Flow for directional bias. Take swing positions aligned with COT positioning. Smaller profit target means you can afford to be patient. ScalpView's bias gauges are your best friend here.

Phase 03

Funded Account

Trade live capital · 80% profit split

This is where ScalpView pays for itself many times over. Use the full intelligence stack to identify the highest-edge trades. Risk management becomes about consistency and scaling, not survival.

FAQ

FTMO trader questions, answered honestly.

What tools do FTMO traders use to pass the challenge?
Successful FTMO traders typically combine charting (TradingView), a position-size calculator, an economic calendar to avoid red-folder events, and an intelligence platform like ScalpView to track institutional flow and avoid stop hunts that can breach the daily loss limit.
Does ScalpView work for FTMO challenges?
Yes. ScalpView is built for prop firm traders. The Kill Room calculates position sizes that respect FTMO's 5% daily loss and 10% maximum loss rules. The Manipulation Tracker highlights stop-hunt zones in real time. The economic calendar flags news events that historically cause violations.
What is the FTMO daily loss limit?
FTMO's daily loss limit is 5% of the starting balance. On a $100,000 account, you cannot lose more than $5,000 from the peak balance reached that day. Breaching this rule fails the challenge.
What is the FTMO maximum loss rule?
The FTMO maximum loss limit is 10% of the starting balance. On a $100,000 account, that's $10,000 total drawdown from the initial balance. Reaching this level fails the challenge regardless of how it happened.
How much does ScalpView cost for FTMO traders?
ScalpView Pro is $20 per month with a free 30-day trial. There is no separate FTMO plan. A $1,000 lifetime option is also available for traders who want long-term access.
Can ScalpView help me avoid FTMO stop hunts?
The Manipulation Tracker shows recent stop runs across major pairs and highlights liquidity zones where smart money typically hunts retail stops. This helps you place stops outside common hunt zones and reduces the chance of being wicked out into a daily loss violation.
Is ScalpView affiliated with FTMO?
No. ScalpView is an independent intelligence platform built by traders for traders. We have no affiliation, partnership, or sponsorship arrangement with FTMO. We exist to help prop firm traders, including those on FTMO challenges, make better-informed decisions.
Can I use ScalpView for other prop firms?
Yes. While many features map directly to FTMO's rules, ScalpView is used by traders on MyForexFunds, FundedX, FunderPro, The5ers, and most other major prop firms. The principles of disciplined risk and institutional alignment apply universally.
