How Caliber Engine works with FTMO
Three steps from a fresh FTMO Challenge to disciplined autonomous execution.
Connect your FTMO account
Link your FTMO Challenge or funded account through a webhook bridge that supports the instruments FTMO permits. Your account stays with FTMO.
Configure for FTMO's rules
Set your daily loss limit, max loss limit, position sizing caps, and consistency targets. The engine treats them as absolute constraints — no overrides.
Hands-free, rule-aware execution
Caliber Engine scans, decides, sizes, and manages every trade in your FTMO account autonomously. You watch every decision in real time.
Why FTMO traders choose Caliber Engine
Built around your max loss
The engine treats your max loss as a hard floor. As you approach it, sizing reduces or stops. No overrides.
Consistency without effort
FTMO rewards consistency. The engine delivers it by default — same setup criteria, same sizing, every trade.
No revenge trades
Most Challenges fail after one bad trade triggers another. The engine has no emotion to recover from.
Pause anytime, disconnect anytime
Hit your target for the day? Pause from the dashboard. Want to trade manually? Disconnect. You stay in control.
Designed to respect FTMO's Challenge rules
The FTMO Challenge has well-defined rules: daily loss limits, max loss limits, profit targets, and consistency requirements. Most Challenge attempts fail because traders break those rules under emotional pressure. Caliber Engine is built to make those rule violations functionally impossible. You configure your daily loss, max loss, and consistency targets on signup. The engine cannot exceed them.
Powered by Anthropic Claude, the engine evaluates each setup before acting, sizes positions to your account size, manages stops with discipline, and locks in partials. Every outcome is logged so the next decision benefits from the last one. The result is a trading process that does not panic, does not revenge-trade, and does not chase setups outside its plan.
Caliber Engine is designed to comply with FTMO's published rules at the time of writing. FTMO updates its rules from time to time. Always verify your account's current rules with FTMO directly before connecting any automated system. Caliber Engine is not affiliated with FTMO, and cannot guarantee passing any Challenge or funded account.
