This is Part 1 of my SECOND FTMO Practice Challenge experiment where I test an improved version of my trading bot (EA).

This new version is:

* More aggressive
* Bug-fixed (well… mostly 😅)
* Designed to theoretically reach ~2% profit per day with -2% max daily risk
* Optimized to pass an FTMO Challenge in ~5 trading days

—

## 📅 Day 1 – Strong Start

The bot performed very well:

* Reached around +$190 profit
* Floating PnL peaked at ~+$94
* Closed the day around +$130

👉 In hindsight: I should have closed everything at peak and stopped trading for the day.

## ⚠️ Day 2 – Bug + Mistake = Big Loss

Things went wrong:

* A critical bug stopped the EA from placing trades for ~14 hours
* Missed opportunities + bad timing
* I didn’t lock in profits when I should have

Result:

* Hit max daily loss (-$200)
* All trades auto-closed

—

## 🔄 Current Situation

* Now recovering
* Current floating: ~+$22
* Still early in the challenge

—

## 🎯 Goal

* FTMO Practice target: +$500
* Deadline: 14 calendar days
* Strategy: aggressive recovery + controlled risk

—

## 📊 Strategy Overview

* Risk per day: max -2%
* Target per day: ~2%
* High-frequency execution
* Multi-pair exposure

## 🧪 Why This Test Matters

My previous attempt:

* Was more conservative
* Showed strong results
* But expired after 14 days

👉 This version aims to:

* Be faster
* More decisive
* Pass within time constraints
