Question for experienced prop firm traders:

At what point does profitability start becoming a “problem” with prop firms?

Hypothetically, if someone was consistently pulling very large days using aggressive size like 10 to 15 contracts, would most firms eventually flag the account just because the payouts get too big?

I keep seeing stories about profitable traders suddenly getting put under heavy scrutiny, delayed payouts, extra reviews, rule interpretations changing, etc.

So I’m genuinely curious:

Is it actually worth scaling aggressively on prop firms long term, or is it smarter to stay under the radar and keep a lower profile even if your strategy can produce much larger numbers? #Daytrader
