Prop firm challenges mislead traders about real capital. A $100,000 account with a $500 entry fee and 10% drawdown limit means 1% risk equals only $50, not $1,000. Taking 0.25% risk per trade won't generate meaningful payouts, so traders should abandon proper risk management during the challenge itself.
Your prop firm account isn't as big as you think, because if you have a $100,000 challenge and you only paid $500 for it, and you have a drawdown limit of 10%, every percent that you're actually risking on a trade is not $1,000, it's just $50. So stop taking 0.25% risk per trade on a challenge because that's not smart, that's not risk management, it's just you spending time trading but not actually getting any payouts from it. So instead, save the proper risk management for after you pass the challenge, which is why I say
