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 FTMO's intraday-equity daily loss, and over the 12-month sample it produced a profit factor of 2.38 with a max drawdown of $3,326.
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 6 lot + Anchor NAS 18 lot + Reject XAU 0.15 lot + Trace XAU 0.30 lot. Each leg is a deterministic rule-based strategy with hard-coded entries, targets and drawdown limits.
Why it fits FTMO
Position sizing keeps peak simulated drawdown at 33.3% of the firm's hard drawdown allowance — a deliberate buffer against the intraday-equity daily loss, not a coincidence of backtest luck.

The alternative
Forex Focus
If you want a more defensive tilt, the Forex Focus portfolio is the other defensible pick at this firm — trading a higher annual blow rate (0.8% vs 0.27%) for a lower median net. Honest trade-off: more upside means more variance against the firm's floor.
