💡 Final Word:
A prop firm account isn’t a lottery ticket — it’s a business license.
Trade like a professional & you’ll still have your account months from now.
Chasing the Target Instead of Managing Risk
Trying to hit 8–10% in a week makes you reckless.
✅ Break target into daily/weekly goals.
20–30 days to pass > 5 days to fail.
Trading Without a Clear Plan
Random “gut feel” entries might work once, but not in the long run.
✅ Only take setups you’ve TESTED.
Discipline > Luck.
Ignoring the Rulebook
Every firm has unique rules — lot size, news bans, max risk…
One slip? Account gone.
✅ Read the rules TWICE. Keep them in front of you while trading.
Revenge Trading After a Loss
Lose one trade → brain says “Get it back NOW.”
This emotional spiral = broken rules & blown account.
✅ Set a daily loss limit. Once hit, CLOSE the platform.
Over-Leveraging in the Rush to Pass Profit target looks tempting.
You think:
"If I double my lot size, I’ll pass faster."
❌ One loss later — daily drawdown limit hit.
✅ Risk 1–2% max per trade. Passing slow > failing fast.
