Trader Builds EA After Three FTMO Failures

Event Date: Jun 24, 2026

Analysis Summary

After three failed FTMO challenges over 14 months, a trader developed a MetaTrader 5 expert advisor based on Smart Money Concepts. Key rules include a 2% daily loss limit, restricted trading during key market overlaps, fixed position sizing, and automatic shutdown after three losses. The EA passed a $100K FTMO challenge in 11 days with a maximum drawdown of 2.1%. This case underscores that discipline and automation, not complex strategies, can make the difference in prop firm success.
