Static 10% max loss does not forgive a dragged stop
FTMO 2-Step maximum loss is static from initial balance. That sounds kinder than a trailing floor, and it is, until a widened ticket uses 3.4x the planned R and a second ticket follows. Daily loss is still 5% and still includes floating PnL. Widening is a daily-rule problem first. The static max is what you hit if you repeat the habit across days.
Venasri compares newSL to previousSL on every update. If the stop moved away from entry, that is the strike. FTMO will not send that alert. The breach email is the alert.
Two widened gold tickets versus $5,000

Ratchet toward price only, on FTMO Swing or Standard
Swing traders hold longer, which is more temptation to widen through a D1 wick. Standard traders scalp and widen through M5 noise. The rule is identical: only move stops toward price after TP1. If Prague midnight is close and you are floating red on a widened stop, flatten. Do not gift the 00:00 reset a larger open loss to measure against tomorrow's $5,000.
