MT4/MT5 via MetaApi

FTMO Runs on MT4/MT5.
So Does Your Journal.

Connect your FTMO MT4 or MT5 account once. Every closed trade imports automatically โ€” fills, P&L, symbol, volume, and execution price. No CSV exports. No manual entry. No missed trades on a busy news day.

Live balance sync reads your FTMO account equity in real time. After a losing day, your 1R dollar amount adjusts automatically โ€” so your next position is sized against what you actually have, not yesterday's balance.

  • โœ“ Fills, P&L, symbol, volume, execution price import automatically
  • โœ“ Live equity sync โ€” Kelly and Fixed-R sizing always use current FTMO balance
  • โœ“ Works on any FTMO MT4/MT5 server โ€” FTMO, FTMO-Demo, FTMO-Evaluation
  • โ†’ Stop loss requires manual entry after import for R-Multiple calculation

FTMO Rules Are Risk Rules.
R-value enforces them automatically.

FTMO's trading objectives โ€” 10% profit target, 5% daily loss limit, 10% maximum drawdown โ€” are all percentage-of-equity constraints. R-Multiple thinking enforces the same constraints as your position sizing methodology. When 1R is defined as 1% of your current funded equity, your daily loss limit becomes a simple R count. No dollar-amount monitoring alongside your sizing decisions.

After a losing sequence, your funded equity decreases. Because SignalDeck syncs your live FTMO balance, your 1R dollar amount decreases with it โ€” you're automatically de-sizing after drawdown without changing any settings. This is what live balance sync makes possible.

Know If Your Edge Is Real
Before You Pay the Challenge Fee.

An FTMO Challenge costs $155โ€“$1,080+ depending on account size. Most traders pay to find out whether their strategy works under prop firm conditions. SignalDeck lets you find that out first.

Walk-Forward Analysis splits your backtest data into in-sample and out-of-sample windows, returns a Pass or Likely Overfitted verdict, and shows the walk-forward efficiency ratio. A passing strategy has demonstrated that its parameters hold up on data they were never fit to โ€” which is the closest thing to a live test you can run before you're live.

Monte Carlo simulation reruns your trade sequence 1,000 times in randomized order. The 5th percentile result is your worst-case drawdown under bad luck conditions โ€” the drawdown your historical sequence happened to avoid. Know whether your system can survive FTMO's 10% max drawdown under adverse trade sequences before you submit.

  • โœ“ Walk-Forward Analysis โ€” Pass/Fail verdict for out-of-sample edge validity
  • โœ“ 1,000-path Monte Carlo โ€” worst-case drawdown before it hits your FTMO account
  • โœ“ SQN score from live journal data โ€” confirms edge is statistically real (2.0+ is tradable)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does SignalDeck work with FTMO MT4 and MT5 accounts?

Yes. SignalDeck connects to FTMO MT4 and MT5 accounts via MetaApi. Trades import automatically โ€” fills, P&L, symbol, volume, and execution price sync without manual entry. Live account balance syncs in real time. Stop loss requires manual entry after import for R-Multiple calculation.

How does R-Multiple tracking help with FTMO drawdown rules?

FTMO's daily loss limit (typically 5%) and maximum drawdown (typically 10%) are percentage-of-equity constraints. When 1R is defined as 1% of your FTMO account equity, a 5% daily loss limit becomes a "stop after โˆ’5R today" rule. No separate dollar monitoring. The framework and the rules align by design โ€” and live balance sync keeps your 1R dollar value current as your FTMO equity changes.

Can I validate my edge before an FTMO challenge?

Yes. Walk-Forward Analysis splits your historical data into in-sample and out-of-sample windows and returns a Pass or Likely Overfitted verdict. Monte Carlo simulation shows your worst-case drawdown across 1,000 randomized trade sequences โ€” know whether your system can survive FTMO's 10% max drawdown under adverse conditions before you submit the challenge.

Which instruments does SignalDeck support for FTMO traders?

XAUUSD (Gold), NAS100, GER40, US500, US30, XAGUSD, and all major forex pairs โ€” natively. Enter tickers exactly as FTMO's MT4/MT5 displays them. SignalDeck routes to the correct live price feed automatically.

Does SignalDeck track the FTMO daily loss limit in real time?

Yes. SignalDeck tracks your running R-loss for the day and provides live stop monitoring on open positions so you know your risk before trades close. Because live balance sync keeps your 1R dollar value current, the daily R limit translates directly to FTMO's percentage-based daily loss rule.
