Good point.
That's why we have a 3% daily loss.
This way, we give a clear restriction. We don't need to run around like headless chickens compensating one risk with ten other rules and ruining the experience for traders.
I will never understand why prop firms allow you a 5% daily drawdown
but then punish you when you risk 3% a trade or use big lot size?
where is the freedom of individuality?
aren’t they directly forcing the trader to change their strategies and systems so it fits better to

Our current prop firm trader survey shows that over 50% of prop traders started with forex, and 40% use personal and prop accounts.
This means that money is flowing away from retail FX, and brokers want it back, even if it's less profitable.
Prop Industry 2.0 has finally arrived.
More and more brokers are starting their own prop firm, it's a growing trend. They serve as an excellent funnel for attracting more clients and keeping them within their ecosystem.
This will bring increased professionalism to the industry

I've been thinking about this recently too. I'm quite confused about these prop firm acquisitions.
Here is the offer:
❌ Limited brand value due to payout issues;
❌ Customers can leave in a heartbeat;
❌ Employees can leave just as fast;
❌ All technology belongs to a third
There’s a broker that has deep pockets and is spending money on acquiring prop firms.
It’s a smart play.
You get the customer list and if the firm maintained a growing LTV it’s a long term cash cow.
You get to make attention about each acquisition. Each one making more

Trading conditions.

When I ask any trader why they prefer 2 stage evaluations, the answer is always because of static drawdown, which ensures payouts don't consume their drawdown when funded. Well, we don't do that with our trailing drawdown. We reset, not lock.
What do traders want? More freedom in their challenges and funded accounts. 🚀
The 2-phase challenge offers traders greater drawdown freedom.
