to me that's the weirdest part about prop firms, they make you prove you deserve the capital before you're even allowed to use it
the evaluation phase might require you to be more aggressive, which means chances of failing it are bigger
so you're basically incentivized to trade differently just to pass the evaluation, instead of simply going with your strategy. And even after you pass it eventually, there are still rules that require you to adjust how you trade
honestly that's why trading with
@o2dotapp Turbo makes a lot more sense. No evaluation forcing you to change how you trade. You get the capital and work on your strategy from the beginning
while others are focused more on making the rules and less about trading, o2 is the other way around
Trading prop firms give you the chance to prove yourself in two ways:
The aggressive you and the conservative you.
The evaluation phase might require you to be moderately aggressive, while the funded phase might require you to be more conservative.
Different phases, different actions.
Your job is to tailor your approach to each phase and stick to it without letting emotions overshadow your decisions.
