YoForexEA Clears FTMO Prop Firm Account: Oliver Gareth Stoner’s 2025 Success Story
In the world of prop firm challenges, very few traders manage to pass both stages flawlessly—especially under the strict risk rules that FTMO enforces. But in July 2025, YoForexEA achieved another remarkable milestone by successfully clearing an FTMO Prop Firm account for Oliver Gareth Stoner, a dedicated trader who trusted our automation system to handle the entire evaluation process.
Oliver handed us his FTMO account on July 14, 2025, and within just two weeks, we not only passed both challenge stages but also completed the Risk Parameters account verification. By July 30, 2025, he received his official FTMO certificate—a moment that reflected the precision, reliability, and trading discipline behind YoForexEA’s automated trading systems.
This success story isn’t just about passing an account; it’s about how smart automation and professional strategy execution can turn a tough prop challenge into a well-calculated mission.
Overview: How YoForexEA Approached the FTMO Challenge
Passing an FTMO account isn’t just about hitting profit targets—it’s about maintaining strict discipline while adhering to daily loss and maximum drawdown limits. Every detail counts.
YoForexEA has been refining its prop firm automation strategy for years. Our EAs are specifically optimized for platforms like FTMO, MyForexFunds, The Funded Trader, and Alpha Capital Group. We deploy risk-controlled algorithms that focus on:
- Low drawdown (<5%)
- Steady daily profits (1–3%)
- High-probability entries only
When Oliver reached out, he wanted a fully automated solution that could handle the challenge without manual interference. Using YoForexEA’s advanced FTMO-mode Expert Advisor, we took over the account on 14th July 2025. From the first trade, our EA followed strict money management—no over-leveraging, no martingale, no revenge trades.
By Day 8, the target for Stage 1 was reached smoothly, and within another 6 days, Stage 2 was cleared—maintaining perfect compliance with FTMO’s trading rules.
Strategy and Risk Parameters Used
Let’s break down how the YoForexEA bot managed Oliver’s FTMO account from start to finish.
1. Account Setup:
FTMO accounts typically come with a starting balance of $100,000. The EA was configured to risk 0.5% per trade, aiming for 2–3 trades daily based on market volatility.
2. Timeframes & Pairs:
We used multi-timeframe confirmation across M15, H1, and H4 charts, focusing on high-liquidity pairs like XAUUSD, EURUSD, and GBPUSD.
3. Trade Logic:
YoForexEA’s proprietary algorithm blends trend confirmation with breakout entries. The EA analyzes multiple indicators such as RSI divergence, candle volume, and momentum filters before taking a position.
4. Drawdown Control:
The maximum drawdown during the challenge was under 3.2%, well within FTMO’s limit of 10%. Daily loss never exceeded 2%, and no single trade was allowed to risk more than 0.5%.
5. Profit Target:
FTMO’s Challenge requires an overall 10% gain in Stage 1 and 5% in Stage 2. YoForexEA achieved these comfortably by maintaining consistent 1–2% daily growth.
6. Psychological Advantage:
Automated systems don’t panic—unlike human traders. That’s the beauty of YoForexEA. No emotion, no overtrading, just algorithmic precision.

What Made This FTMO Pass Different
While many traders attempt the FTMO challenge using manual strategies, few succeed due to psychological pressure and inconsistent execution. YoForexEA’s FTMO strategy eliminates both.
Here’s what made this pass stand out:

- Dynamic Trailing Stop: The EA moved SL to breakeven automatically once trades hit +20 pips.
- No Overnight Exposure: Positions were closed daily to avoid gap risk.
- Real-time News Filter: The EA avoided high-impact events automatically using YoForex’s integrated calendar module.
- FTMO-Optimized Risk Rules: Drawdown and daily loss limits were built directly into the EA logic.
Trader Feedback: From Oliver Gareth Stoner
Here’s what Oliver had to say after receiving his certificate on July 30:
“Honestly, I doubted at first whether an EA could really pass an FTMO account. But YoForexEA’s team kept me updated daily, and the results spoke for themselves. No crazy drawdowns, no overtrading—just pure consistency. Now I’ve got my certificate and my funded account. Couldn’t have asked for better.”
His testimonial mirrors what many FTMO aspirants feel: confidence restored by reliable automation.

Why FTMO Trust Requires Precision
FTMO challenges are designed to identify traders who can manage risk consistently—not just chase profits. Their two-stage process and 10%/5% profit targets might sound achievable, but most accounts fail due to poor discipline.
YoForexEA’s system proved once again that consistency beats luck. The combination of accurate entries, low risk per trade, and dynamic exits ensured that Oliver’s account stayed compliant 100% of the time.
This is what real trading professionalism looks like—when data, discipline, and automation come together.
