A QUICK ADVISE FOR EVERY PROP FIRM TRADER

Post by Fairman »

Stop treating every trade like it has to make you money.

Your job is to protect the account and execute your edge consistently.

• Find one strategy and master it
• Backtest before risking real money
• Risk small, you don’t need 5% risk to pass a challenge
• Stop trading after consecutive losses
• Don’t revenge trade
• Don’t force setups because you haven’t traded today
• Take only your A+ setups
• Respect the daily drawdown
• Keep your risk consistent
• Journal every trade, especially your losses
• Focus on execution, not how much you could make
• Once funded, protect the account like it’s your own capital

The goal isn’t to pass a challenge quickly.

The goal is to become consistent enough to keep getting paid.

I got it, but honestly i think that for most of the traders is better to learn how to trade properly without aditional rules from prop firms.

Its much more harder for newbies.
Preserve your own money. Scale with the market's money. Exponential growth is the ultimate key.
