﻿PROJECT NO GOLD 2.175 - FTMO SETUP TEMPLATES
Prepared 18 October 2026 | USD accounts only

Choose the file for your account phase and original account size:

2-Step Challenge / Verification:
  FTMO_2STEP 10K.set
  FTMO_2STEP 100K.set
  Risk Level 2.0 per market; PNG daily trigger 4%; extra news/weekend controls Off.

Standard funded account AFTER 2-Step (not Swing or 1-Step funded):
  FTMO_STANDARD 10K.set
  FTMO_STANDARD 100K.set
  Risk Level 2.0 per market; PNG daily trigger 4%; extra news/weekend controls On.

1-Step Challenge (evaluation, not funded):
  FTMO_1STEP 10K.set
  FTMO_1STEP 100K.set
  Risk Level 1.0 per market; PNG daily trigger 2%; extra news/weekend controls Off.

1-Step funded account:
  FTMO_1STEP_FUNDED 10K.set

  Risk Level 1.0 per market; PNG daily trigger 2%; extra news/weekend controls On.
  The FTMO Standard Funded - Conservative news mode also serves this profile.

COMMON SETTINGS
All six markets are enabled, using RISK LEVEL mode.
Risk Level is a relative size setting, not a percentage loss cap.
Initial Capital and Sizing Balance are fixed at USD 10,000 or USD 100,000.
This keeps sizing based on original capital rather than growing with Balance.
Daily Protection Calculation is FTMO (Prague midnight, CET/CEST).
Broker Time Zone is GMT+2/+3 (New York DST). Show Info Panel is On.
Other customer inputs remain at sales defaults unless listed above or below.

MARKET MAPPINGS
USDJPY = USDJPY
Silver = XAGUSD
US Technology Index = US100.cash
US 500 Index = US500.cash
Japan 225 Index = JP225.cash
Germany 40 Index = GER40.cash
Confirm these exact names and contract specifications in your own MT5 account.

DAILY PROTECTION
PNG attempts liquidation at 4% for 2-Step/Standard and 2% for 1-Step.
These are PNG buffers below FTMO's published 5% and 3% daily limits.
10K: 4% = USD 400; 2% = USD 200.
100K: 4% = USD 4,000; 2% = USD 2,000.
This is measured from Prague-midnight Balance against account Equity,
with the percentage based on Initial Capital. It is not an intraday peak limit.
PNG observes account Equity but attempts to close only PNG-owned positions.
Gaps, slippage, disconnections and other positions can exceed the buffer.

WHAT THE SET DOES NOT AUTOMATE
PNG 2.175 has no public account-wide total-loss or profit-target control.
Monitor the static 2-Step total-loss floor, and the 1-Step end-of-day trailing
total-loss floor, independently in FTMO Account MetriX.
1-Step Consistency (or the legacy Best Day condition), evaluation targets,
minimum trading days and reward eligibility are not managed by these SETs.
The 1-Step Consistency calculation depends on account order/merge dates;
check which version applies to your account, including the 12 October 2026 change.
The weekend switch is not a general solution for every market break over two
hours, holiday schedule or early close. Monitor these on funded Standard accounts.
The additional PNG news preset uses relevant high-impact calendar events;
it is conservative and is not an exact copy of FTMO's restricted-event list.
The additional news overlay is bypassed in ordinary backtests.

LOAD ONE PROFILE
1. Keep Algo Trading off while setting up. Use an MT5 hedging account without FIFO.
2. Attach PNG to USDJPY H1 and load the selected SET through Inputs > Load.
3. Check account currency, original capital, symbols, clock and actual lot sizes.
4. Review the configuration in demo/forward operation before enabling trading.
Use only the matching profile. These files share a Magic Base and are alternatives,
not eight EA instances to run together. When a 1-Step Challenge becomes funded,
load the matching FTMO_1STEP_FUNDED file: Risk Level and the daily trigger stay
the same, while the additional news and weekend controls turn On.

VALIDATION
All 66 names and enum values were checked against the PNG 2.175 public contract.
These newly prepared profiles have not been loaded or backtested natively in MT5.
They are setup templates, not FTMO-approved or challenge-pass-tested settings.
