FTMO Compliance Checks
Drawdown Analysis
QuantProof analyzes your maximum drawdown, daily loss limits, and consecutive loss patterns against FTMO's strict 10% maximum.
Consistency Requirements
FTMO requires consistent performance. We check profit factor stability, monthly consistency, and volatility patterns.
Overfitting Detection
Using deflated Sharpe ratio and CPCV analysis, we identify if your backtest results are too good to be true.
Risk Management
Position sizing, stop-loss effectiveness, and risk-reward ratios analyzed against institutional standards.
4-Step FTMO Preparation Process
STEP 1
Upload Your Strategy
Upload your backtest CSV or connect your live broker account. QuantProof supports Zerodha Kite, Alpaca, IBKR, and TradingView.
💡 Pro tip: Use at least 6 months of trading data for accurate FTMO compliance analysis.
STEP 2
Run 44 Institutional Checks
QuantProof analyzes your strategy against FTMO requirements including drawdown limits, consistency metrics, and overfitting detection.
💡 Pro tip: Choose "Institutional" depth for FTMO preparation - it matches prop firm screening standards.
STEP 3
Review Your Fundable Score
Get your Fundable Score (0-100). Scores above 80 typically pass FTMO challenges. Below 60 indicates high failure risk.
💡 Pro tip: Pay attention to the "Risk Management" category - it's 38% of your score and critical for FTMO.
STEP 4
Fix Critical Issues
Follow QuantProof's personalized fix plan. Address drawdown issues first, then overfitting, then consistency problems.
💡 Pro tip: Re-validate after each fix to track improvement. Most traders need 2-3 validation cycles.
