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 Prop 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; over the 12-month backtest it produced a profit factor of 3.49 with a max drawdown of $3,062, and it is tracked live since April 2026.
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.
