  7. Today we also purchased a $200,000 account at FTMO prop firm. We are pretty confident that we can pass their tests in one go but we will see. We wanted to go with TopStep but they don't have a swing account.

    By the way FTMO charges swap fees for holding positions overnight and over weekends, which is something we are not familiar with when trading with our real account with Kyobo.

    Does anybody know a trustworthy prop firm that offers a swing account without swap fees?

    How can Kyobo not charge swap fees. If they don't charge swap fees you can just get free carry all year

  9. Kyobo, Kiwoom, the legit brokers in Korea never charge you for any swap fees(overnight/over weekend). We just close and re enter a new contract if it reaches maturity.

    Do you pay swap fees even when you are trading 100% with your money?

    We are holding the same contracts for the Kyobo account.

    We are also day 1 into the FTMO $200k challenge and we are up about $900:
