Strategy overview

Prop firm trading means trading a funded evaluation account — a firm's capital under a fixed rulebook of profit targets, daily loss limits and maximum drawdown — and this entry covers a first-person account of clearing one of those evaluations at the largest common account size. The source video, "COMO LOGRÉ PASAR MI CUENTA DE 200.000 $ DE FTMO. TE ENSEÑO MI ESTRATEGIA" from the Spanish-language channel Majodax trader, is framed result-first: the creator states they passed a $200,000 FTMO account and then walks through the approach they used to do it.

That framing is worth understanding before you watch. Prop firm content of this kind is testimonial rather than instructional in structure — the outcome comes first and the method is presented as the explanation for it. The approach here is classified as mixed rather than built on a single indicator, which is typical of evaluation-focused trading: what shapes the decisions is usually the constraint set (how much can be lost in a day, how much total, and how fast the target must be reached) at least as much as the entry signal itself. Two traders using the same setup on a 10k and a 200k account often size, hold and exit very differently for exactly that reason.

One honest caveat: the result described is the creator's own claim, presented as told in the video and not independently verified — and a single passed evaluation, at any account size, is a sample of one. This page does not carry an extracted rule set for this strategy, so treat it as a pointer to the concept and to the source rather than a mechanical specification. If the approach interests you, the useful next step is to define it precisely enough to test it against the specific drawdown and target limits of the evaluation you intend to take.

Frequently asked questions

What is prop firm trading?

Prop firm trading is trading a proprietary firm's capital rather than your own, usually after passing an evaluation. The firm sets a profit target and hard risk limits — typically a daily loss cap and a maximum overall drawdown — and the trader keeps an agreed share of the profits once funded.

What is this FTMO strategy video about?

It is a first-person account from the Spanish-language channel Majodax trader, titled "COMO LOGRÉ PASAR MI CUENTA DE 200.000 $ DE FTMO. TE ENSEÑO MI ESTRATEGIA", in which the creator describes passing a $200,000 FTMO evaluation and explains the approach they used. The result is the creator's own stated claim.

Does account size change how a prop firm strategy is traded?

The signals may not change, but the risk arithmetic does. Daily loss and maximum drawdown limits scale with account size, so position sizing, how long positions are held and where losses are cut are usually adjusted to fit the specific evaluation's constraints rather than copied across sizes.

How should I evaluate a strategy like this before attempting an evaluation?

Define the rules explicitly, then backtest and forward-test them against the exact limits of the challenge you plan to take — target, daily loss cap and maximum drawdown — since a strategy can be profitable overall and still fail an evaluation on its drawdown path.
