Shadowing Practice: FTMO 1-Step Challenge Explained: All 4 Rules You Must Know - Learn English Speaking with Video

Creando lección...
1
one step.
2
That's all it takes to get your FTMO account.
3
But to pass the one step challenge you need to understand the four core rules.
4
Let's break them down.
5
The first rule is the profit target.
6
To pass the FTMO challenge you need to reach a simulated profit of exactly 10% of your initial capital.
7
So on a 100 000 dollar account your target is 10 000 dollars.
8
All your positions must be closed before the target can be reviewed.
9
And the best part?
10
This rule only applies to the challenge phase.
11
Once you move to the FTMO account, the profit target disappears.
12
Rule number two, maximum daily loss.
13
Your equity, which includes your closed and open trades, swaps and commissions, cannot drop below this limit.
14
But how is it calculated?
15
Let's take a $100,000 account as an example.
16
Every midnight center European time, we take your account balance and calculate 3% of your initial starting capital.
17
If you start the day with $100,000, your daily limit is $97,000.
18
If your equity drops below that red line at any point, the rule is violated.
19
This applies to both FTMO Challenge and the FTMO account.
20
Rule 3.
21
The maximum loss limit.
22
For a $100,000 account, your overall equity can never drop by more than 10% of your initial capital, in this case $10,000.
23
But pay attention because this limit is an end of day trailing limit.
24
It is recalculated every midnight based on our highest end of day income balance.
25
If your balance grows, your safety net moves up with it.
26
But if your balance drops the next day, the limit stays exactly where it was.
27
It can only increase, it never decreases, so protect your downside.
28
But here is a massive advantage.
29
This rule fully resets with every new phase and after every reward withdrawal.
30
Let's say your highest end of the day balance reaches $112,000.
31
Your max loss limit locks at $102,000.
32
But once you take your reward, you get a fresh account and your limit resets back to $90,000.
33
Finally, the best day rule.
34
This rule is simply about proving your consistency and it says
35
that the result of your best trading day should not account for more than 50% of your positive day's profit.
36
Let's say you are trading a $100,000 account.
37
You have an amazing day and make $6,000 dollars.
38
Did you break the rules?
39
Did you fail?
40
Absolutely not.
41
You are still completely safe.
42
But again, your most profitable day can never represent more than 50% of your positive day's profit.
43
It is a cap on a single day's impact.
44
So if your best day is 6,000, it's simple.
45
You just keep trading on other days until your positive day's profit reaches at least $12,000.
46
You don't fail for having a huge win you just keep trading.
47
Four rules pure discipline track everything right in your account matrix
48

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
