Why Risk Management matters on FTMO
FTMO enforces strict risk parameters. Without structured risk management, traders blow accounts on oversizing, revenge trades, or violating the best day cannot exceed 20% of total profit target.
Quicksilver combines chart literacy with proprietary planning modules. Start with the free demo below, then graduate to the full Quicksilver Risk Matrix™ for challenge survival simulations and exportable scorecards.
FTMO rules at a glance
Profit target: 10% Phase 1, 5% Phase 2. Maximum drawdown: 10% maximum account loss. Daily loss limit: 5% daily loss limit. Consistency: Best day cannot exceed 20% of total profit target.
Run every candidate trade through the demo widget before committing capital. Log outcomes in a journal — win rate, average R:R, and max daily drawdown — so you know whether your edge supports a FTMO challenge.
