The best Puravida Edge strategy for the FTMO challenge
FTMO runs on intraday-equity daily loss. This page matches that rule set to the Puravida Edge portfolio built to live inside it — and shows the simulated outcome distribution, honestly, including the alternative.
The 10-second answer
For the FTMO challenge, run the Forex Champion portfolio — Hook NAS · Anchor NAS · Reject XAU · Trace XAU. It is sized so the loss floor is respected under the firm’s drawdown rule, and it is tracked live since April 2026. Full, current results on the Forex Champion detail page.
What actually kills traders at FTMO
The detail that catches futures traders crossing into FTMO: the daily loss is measured on intraday equity, not an end-of-day close. The 1-Step uses a trailing max loss; the 2-Step a static one. There is no time limit and roughly a 4-day minimum per phase.
FTMO funds XAU (gold) and Nasdaq index CFDs — exactly the instruments this portfolio trades — reached through the MetaTrader bridge. The cross-instrument, high-win-rate structure keeps daily-equity swings well inside the 5% limit.

The match
Forex Champion — composition
Sizing: Hook NAS 6lot + Anchor NAS 18lot + Reject XAU 0.15lot + Trace XAU 0.3lot. Each leg is a deterministic rule-based strategy with hard-coded entries, targets and drawdown limits.
Why it fits FTMO
Position sizing keeps peak recorded drawdown at 47.8% of the firm's hard drawdown allowance — a deliberate buffer against the intraday-equity daily loss, not a coincidence of a lucky sample.
The rule set this sizing is built against — drawdown model, daily loss limit, consistency and minimum days — is on the FTMO firm card, verified monthly.
The alternative
Forex Focus
The other defensible pick at this firm is Forex Focus (Pivot XAU · Reject XAU · Open XAU · Trace XAU) — a higher return ceiling at a higher blow rate. Full, current numbers for every configuration are in the portfolio catalog.
