Things nobody told me about prop firms
So I've been trying out a few prop firms recently and honestly I didn't think the smaller stuff would matter that much but it really does, things like consistency rules and minimum trading days kind of sneak up on you once you actually start trading. Like consistency rules basically mean you can't just have a few really good days and be done with it, you have to spread your performance out which changes how you think about each trade. And minimum trading days mean even if you smash your target early you're still sitting there placing trades just to hit the number, which is a bit annoying but you get used to it.
Anyway that's kind of why BestProp4U caught my attention because they don't have any of that on their forex challenges, no consistency rules no minimum trading days, so it just feels a lot more natural and you can actually trade the way you normally would without overthinking it. They also have this add-on where basically even if you break a funded account rule you can still withdraw your profits which I thought was a really cool thing to have in your back pocket.
Overall it just clicked better for me compared to everything else I tried and felt way less stressful.
Has anyone else run into this kind of thing when shopping around?
