Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where should I attach PNG?
Use an MT5 hedging account without mandatory FIFO closing. Attach PNG to USDJPY H1 with One Chart Mode enabled, and check the broker symbol names for your selected markets.
2. Is Risk Level a loss-limit percentage?
No. Risk Level adjusts trading size. Daily Loss Limit is a separate protection setting. Broker minimum lots and margin can affect the actual order size.
3. Why is PNG waiting instead of opening a trade?
Waiting for a signal is normal. Check Algo Trading, connection, enabled markets, positive size settings, and the panel status.
4. Which FTMO SET should I use?
Choose your account phase and USD 10K or 100K size. In this package, Standard means the funded account after 2-Step.
| Account phase | Sizes | Risk Level | PNG daily trigger | Extra news / weekend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Step Challenge / Verification | 10K / 100K | 2.0 | 4% | Off / Off |
| Standard funded (2-Step) | 10K / 100K | 2.0 | 4% | On / On |
| 1-Step Challenge | 10K / 100K | 1.0 | 2% | Off / Off |
| 1-Step funded | 10K / 100K | 1.0 | 2% | On / On |
After passing a 1-Step Challenge, use the matching FTMO_1STEP_FUNDED file. It keeps Risk Level 1.0 and the 2% daily trigger, and enables the additional news and weekend controls.
The daily triggers include a buffer below FTMO's published 5% and 3% limits. Initial Capital and Sizing Balance match the selected account size; sizing stays based on that original capital.
5. Do these SETs manage every FTMO objective?
No. Monitor total loss, 1-Step trailing loss and Consistency, evaluation targets, and trading-day requirements in FTMO Account MetriX. On funded Standard accounts, also check holiday closures and other market breaks. Protection attempts cannot guarantee an exit price.
