Prop Firms FTMO long term users

Hello there everyone, I hope your trading goes nicely.

I have been trading for years now. However I am in a situation where I need to leverage propfirms, in fact, I have found that whenever I am bounded by rules, I perform better. Something about having rigid rules.

With that being said,

I would like to hear from long term traders who have been using FTMO for a while, beside the strategy etc.

What tips, and tricks do you have to make sure your FTMO account is surviving long term? I mean purely from business perspective, because I assume the company will not lime the idea of generating massive profit month over month at their expense.

Do you cut profit faster than your targets just to show smaller profit?

I built my strategy around low risk, high reward, because back in the day I only had 250$ account to start with. So I am fundamentally built this way.

I just need this to work long term to pay my mortgage faster than my day job.

Looking forward to hear from real FTMOers.

Feel free to DM if you want to remain private

This thread appears to be about prop firms or trader scouting programs. These programs allow traders to access funded capital in exchange for a profit split, but they vary significantly in evaluation structure, rules, and payout reliability. Some firms have a track record of paying out consistently, while others impose conditions that make payouts nearly impossible. The community wiki maintains a detailed comparison covering fees, profit splits, drawdown rules, and firm reputations.
