FTMO counts messages, not your story
Place, close, modify. That is the tape. Human dragging counts. 10016 retry loops count. Tick trails count. Venasri's 80-message day is the design for a $100,000 2-Step. If your Journal already shows hundreds of modifies per ticket, remove that EA before Venasri, or they will stack.
Funded Standard plus news-window micro-management is a double hit: possible 2-minute news violation plus message spam as spreads blow.
80 versus 2,000 on a $5,000 daily cap
Quiet trailing does not reduce daily-loss protection. Equity Guard is an equity poll, not a modify storm. Flatten is a close batch. activate Venasri free on your MT5 account and delete the tick trailer. The 94% message cut is how funded accounts stay boring, which is what you want in a review.
Macro Swing Confluence on FTMO Swing can sit under 15 messages a week. If you need that quiet, use it. Do not mix it with an M1 trail EA.
One modifier on the FTMO terminal
If you trade two FTMO accounts on one VPS, isolate magics and sockets. Cross-talk looks like a runaway EA.
Audit before you scale to 90% split
FTMO profit split starts at 80% and can scale toward 90%. Hyperactivity reviews happen on funded, not on the marketing page. Export a day of Journal modifies. If you cannot explain each one as TP1, BE, or a swing ratchet, you are hot. Cool the tape before the next payout window (bi-weekly after 14 days on funded).
After a request scare, do not revenge-trade. Pause. The daily $5,000 cap is still the faster way to fail if you start clicking to make up a review anxiety.
