I like these challenges especially because they have an expiry time. They help you master prop firm risk management before you go for a real account

📊 FTMO Free Trial — Day 1 Summary

Date: 29 September 2026

Account: $100,000 Free Trial

Markets: XAUUSD (Gold) & GBPUSD

Today was my first trading day on the FTMO free trial.

I executed 32 trades across Gold and GBPUSD. It was not a clean trading session — I closed several positions at a loss while only a few trades managed to close in profit.

During the session, I also noticed what appeared to be spread widening that affected some of my executions, so I became more cautious and reduced my exposure rather than forcing additional trades.

Despite the difficult session, the account finished positive:

Starting Balance: $100,000.00

Ending Balance: $100,156.61

Daily P&L: +$156.61 (+0.16%)

Trading Statistics:

Trades: 32

Win Rate: 40.63%

Profit Factor: 1.32

Average R:R: 1.93

Average Win: $49.74

Average Loss: -$25.79

Total Lots: 15.62

🧠 Day's Lesson

The main takeaway today wasn't simply the $156 profit. It was the importance of execution quality and market conditions.

A profitable day doesn't necessarily mean every trade was good, and a low win rate doesn't automatically mean the strategy failed. What matters is controlling losses, maintaining reasonable risk-to-reward, and recognising when market conditions are affecting execution.

Day 1 complete: +$156.61.

Next session, the focus is on better selectivity, cleaner execution and protecting the account rather than forcing trades.

DAY 2 Trading Summary — FTMO Free Trial

I took 28 trades today on my FTMO $100K Free Trial account.

Total Volume: 7.42 lots

Result: +$4,067.06 (+4.07%)

Closing Balance: $104,266.37

Equity: $104,270.22

My Trading Stats as at today:

Profit Factor: 3.91

Win Rate: 25%

Avg Profit: $637.20

Avg Loss: -$54.37

Avg RRR: 11.72

Expectancy: $118.53

Sharpe Ratio: 0.78

Total Trades: 36

My overall account profit is now +$4,273.33 (+4.27%), leaving $726.67 to reach the $5,000 profit target.

Comment:

Today was a very profitable day, but looking at the statistics, there are still things I need to improve. My 25% win rate shows that I am not winning most of my trades, but the difference between my average winning and losing trades helped produce a 3.91 profit factor.

The main thing I noticed today is the Best Day Rule. My $4,067.06 profit from today represents 95.32% of my total positive-day profits, so I need to focus more on consistency instead of depending on one big trading day.

I also stayed within the FTMO loss limits, with the account's displayed maximum daily loss at -$2,515.01, against the -$3,000 daily loss limit.

Day 2 was profitable, but my focus for the next session is not to rush for the remaining $726.67. I want to maintain proper risk management, improve my consistency and only take setups that meet my trading criteria.

If breaching the FTMO best day rule has no penalty so why do they even include it

Yes , the important distinction is that the Best Day Rule is a requirement, not a penalty rule.

FTMO currently says that if your best day is more than 50% of your Positive Days’ Profit, you do not fail or get penalized for that alone. Instead, you simply have to keep trading until your total Positive Days’ Profit increases enough that the best day becomes 50% or less, that's how the rule works
