FTMO 50K (2-Step Challenge) pass rate
The honest odds for the FTMO 50K (2-Step Challenge) challenge — its real static drawdown geometry, run through a barrier-stopped Monte Carlo, not the simplified static-floor math most guru estimates quote.
Pass probability by win rate
FTMO 50K (2-Step Challenge) uses a static drawdown floor: your loss limit stays fixed at $5,000 below the starting balance no matter how high the account climbs. That's the most forgiving geometry for day traders — banked profit permanently widens your cushion, so a strategy with larger winners and a lower win rate can survive variance that would end it on a trailing firm. The $5,000 profit target is the whole task; there's no moving goalpost.
