평가 통과가 리스크 관리라면, 왜들 서두르고 과도한 레버리지로 계좌를 깨는가? 🤔

The point to pass the Eval is because you are on a monthly charge. So it's best to pass it within 30 days before the next charge.

If you hold onto the Eval past 30 days, you might as well use those funds to pay for another Eval account and have 2 accounts running.

You want to be funded as soon as possible so that all your trade efforts count towards your payout.

because stooooopid.

Wrong psychology. Wrong understanding of trading. Bad risk management. Wanting to be rich quick.
Thats why prop firms exist in the first place. People have the wrong understanding of trading, fueled by fake gurus on social media who post fake 1000% PnL cards.

1 to make it before the next monthly payment (which is very stupid)
2 they’re still new to the game and have bad psychology

Because people want a funded account, and therefore payouts, as quickly as possible. Many will go all-in with terrible risk management to beat the evaluations. Then, they move to a funded account with their dopamine running high, play the same game, and blow it within a week. It's what keeps the prop firms in business.

Passing evals is basically paper trading with stupid rules that don't actually make you a better trader. It promotes scalping and for those on a monthly fee it promotes an urgency to pass as fast as you can. Which makes sense because otherwise you are simply paper trading and don't need to pay someone to do that. The prop firm rules stack the odds against you in a trading world where the odds are already stacked against you. Consistency rules? In what trading world is it a bad thing to make as much money as you possibly can? Intraday trailing drawdowns? So If my price target doesn't hit but I manage my trade well enough for a smaller gain or b/e trade its still treated like a loss because I should have been able to sell at the absolute top. Not realistic and what is it promoting that rule? What is even more comical is how the rules change from eval to funded. My favorite is their ability to not allow trading in future contracts that are seeing volatility. Prop firms are basically way to get leverage you otherwise wouldn't have for $50-$100. Pay a fee and you have access to $2k in leverage to navigate their rules and try to get a payout. Its a business so I respect it and wish had the capital to start up my own. :)

Because people are impatient and can’t trade, so they YOLO.

Nothing wrong with taking a month or two to pass. It’ll set you up way better for success in the funded stage.
