If you’ve never taken a prop account to payout stage, then this post is for you. ‼️

I’ve put together a list of the personal rules that have helped me keep my funded accounts and make consistent payouts for over a year in this post.

I’ve traded prop funded accounts for years and one thing I’ve learned is that staying funded has very little to do with finding the perfect setup because every trader gets good entries from time to time.

The difference however, is what happens when you’re wrong. That gap is what drains accounts so I created a list of my rules that you can easily copy to keep your accounts.

Here are the risk rules I follow before placing a trade. 👇

-: I decide how much I’m willing to lose before I enter a trade and that number doesn’t change once I’m in.

Some setups look so good that you’re tempted to size up halfway through. Don’t.

Good risk management only works when the rules are set before emotions get involved.

-: I don’t increase risk after a loss.

A losing trade doesn’t make the next setup more likely to work and the market doesn’t care that you’re trying to recover what you just lost.

Some of the biggest drawdowns I’ve seen started with someone trying to make back one loss in a single trade, forgetting that the market has no limits on what it can take from you.

-: My stop loss goes where the trade idea is wrong.

If price reaches that level, then the reason I entered the trade is no longer valid. I’ve learned that taking the loss is usually cheaper than trying to give a bad trade more room to work.

-: I only risk an amount that allows me to think clearly.

The easiest way to know you’re risking too much is when the trade starts affecting your behaviour. You’re checking charts every few minutes, watching every candle and looking for reasons to interfere with a plan that was perfectly fine before you entered, that discomfort is simply your body telling you that you’re doing too much. 1% is okay.

-: I don't judge trades by whether they win or lose.

Some of my best trades have been losses and some of my worst trades have been winners. A good trade is one where I followed my plan from entry to exit, regardless of the outcome.

Risk management isn't the most exciting part of trading.
It's also one of the biggest differences between traders who survive long enough to become profitable and traders who keep starting over.

Here’s the updated version of just that closing section:

The market will still be here next week. Make sure you are too, because it is easier to get another entry than it is to get another capital.

A good read! Gained from this ❤️

7% drawdown. $186,000 balance on one of my $200,000 accounts.

Only 3% left before it was gone. Most accounts don’t recover from that.

I took it from 7% down to 13% profit ($225,000) in just a few trades.

Here’s exactly what I did, and how you can realistically climb out of a drawdown without revenge trading your way into a blown account.

Read till the end. 👇

With the current market conditions, drawdowns are everywhere on the timeline right now. Even consistently profitable traders are getting hit. I’ve been there too.

Here’s how to recover from drawdowns realistically, not the “just stay disciplined” motivational nonsense.

I’m talking about the actual things that stop you from turning a -5% drawdown into a blown account.

1. Cut your risk immediately.

If you normally risk 1%, drop to 0.25–0.5%.

Why?

Because when confidence is damaged, execution usually gets worse too.

You don’t recover from drawdowns by swinging harder.

You recover by surviving long enough to regain consistency.

My standard risk across all my accounts is 1%. The moment I hit a drawdown above 2%, I immediately cut risk to 0.5% and stay there until I’m back at breakeven.

That one rule alone has helped me trade my $300,000 FundedNext account for over a year and my $400,000 FTMO accounts for 3 months + without a breach or blown account.

Your first priority in a drawdown is survival. Profits come after.

2. Find out what actually caused the drawdown and be brutally honest.

Was it:
• Overtrading?
• Revenge trading?
• Ignoring bias changes?
• Poor entries?
• Trading while emotional?
• Breaking your model?
• FOMO?

Most drawdowns are psychological before they’re technical and sometimes your strategy isn’t the issue, you are.

A profitable system traded by an impatient trader becomes unprofitable very quickly.

You can’t out-trade poor emotional control.

3. Go back to your A+ setups only.

In recovery mode, stop taking mediocre trades. No “maybe” setups, no boredom trades, no random pair hopping, only what has historically worked best for you.

If it’s not an A+, it’s a no.

4. Eliminate the urgency to recover your account in 24 hours.

That urgency creates bad decisions.

A healthy recovery can take 2-4 trades depending on RR. It can take weeks sometimes.

That’s normal.

5. Protecting capital matters more than recovering ego because the market doesn’t care that you “need” the money back.

Trade what’s there, not what you wish was there. Chasing recovery is how a 7% drawdown becomes a blown account.

Survive first. Everything else follows.

Also for my crypto traders, if you’ve been eating heavy spreads trying to trade crypto on forex prop firms, there’s a better option.

Crypto Funded Trader is the first prop firm built specifically for crypto traders. The account types, trading conditions, everything was designed with crypto in mind.

I’ve used it personally. The difference is noticeable. If you’ve been looking to get into prop trading with crypto, this is where I’d start.
