when you know that the best hedge fund in the world (Renaissance Technologies) makes around 80% a year (6.6% a month) how are we supposed to make 10% a month ?? this is totally unrealistic.
If I find a trader that makes 10% a month i'll give him my money as well lol

FTMO's business model is that it makes money from failed challenges. And even when you pass, you are still trading on a demo account.

That's not a bad thing. It's just different from a traditional prop firm where traders are funded with real money and paid with profits from the markets.

It's very difficult but still possible to pass the evaluation by taking A+ trades only and having solid risk management. There is an element of luck involved, but it ultimately comes down to skill and approach.

Independent day traders should block out all the noise about hedge funds, mathematicians said this, economists said that, etc. And just focus on how you are going to achieve this.

Here's some interesting data from MFF:
