You book directly in the Client Area, under the FTMO Verified Prop Traders tab. There you'll see all available coaches along with their open time slots. You choose the coach and the day/time that suits you, and book it yourself. No waiting for approval and no assigned matching; you're always in control of who you work with and when.

Our coaches are mental-performance specialists who work specifically with traders, not financial advisors or professional traders/mentors. When you book, you'll see each coach's profile, so you can pick whoever feels like the right fit for how you want to work.

There's no formal material to prepare. It helps to think in advance about what you actually want to focus on (a recent trade, a recurring pattern, a specific challenge). Beyond that:
-Find a quiet, private space with no background noise.
-Block out the full 60 minutes so you're not rushed.
-Test your camera and microphone beforehand.
-Have a pen and paper handy, you might need them for notes or exercises during the session.

Yes, any time. Every session is booked individually with whichever coach is available at a time that works for you, so you're never locked into one person. If a coach isn't the right fit, simply book your next session with someone else, no explanation needed.
