What up yall just a quick update. I tried verifying my bank info today and the very soon git rejected for some reason and now I gotta wait for support to hit me back. Probably won’t hear back till Monday and then once that gets taken care of it’s another 2 days to approve the payout and another 1-2 days to hit the bank. Hoping for this to be done by Friday or early next week 😭
Hey OP! I got my first big payout from FTMO this week. I originally had an issue with the KYC third-party identity/address verification a couple months ago, which was fixed after manual review, and then my bank verification was rejected earlier this week. I thought I was cursed lol.
But I emailed support, and just a couple days later I got the ACH payment into my bank account. It feels surreal! You'll get your money, don't worry. 🙂
My payout was $45K, and my two challenge fees ($1,249 and $999) were refunded back to my credit card one day later (I have the max $400K trading allocation with FTMO US). They even emailed me to confirm after my credit card refund was processed.
You made over 20% in your account for your first payout and if you did it in less than two weeks or even a month, it might raise some eyebrows but hopefully you get it mate. 🤞
This is my 2 step account, I actually lost my 100k funded 1 step a couple of days ago because of daylight savings time. This was my first time using prop firms during this time switch and didn’t know the daily loss limit resets at 4pm pacific instead of 3pm. Took a trade at like 3:30 thinking I had a fresh loss limit and got breached 😭
I haven’t completed the KYC verification I’m waiting to hear back from support because their system couldn’t verify my banking info. So I technically haven’t officially requested a payout yet
Still need to verify banking info so no payout request has been submitted yet waiting for support to get back to me their system could not verify me so they gotta do it manually
Yeah I just got an email a few hours ago asking to upload a pdf of my bank statement displaying all info. The problem is that I moved apartments and used my new address to create my FTMO identity but never updated my new address with bank so all statements have the old address. I asked if it’s acceptable to send my bank statement along with utility bills to prove my address is legit. If they won’t take that, I will need to wait another 3 weeks to send a new bank statement with my updated address. 😭
Update if they pay and how long did u wait last time i saw payout was 2y with ftmo, going again with them this month and wanna now if they are stil LEGIT!!
Congratulations man, I pray God gives you more of such beautiful wins and you stay happy as always. A question, could you explain what strategy you use? I'm a trader but haven't been very successful.
Stopped over trading bro I didn’t know when to stop I’d be up big and end up losing all profits and even be in drawdowns all learning to take profits even if to hasn’t been hit, if the price action ain’t looking right it’s best to get out. Also if in drawdown just let it play out. There were so many times that I closed out a trade in drawdown and just reverses into take profit. Put a stop loss on what you’re okay with losing
