Prop firms, prop firms, prop firms....
Where do I even begin with this. Do you understand that 'prop firms' entire business model depends on your failing? [https://suno.com/s/cpAOvKwqeGQCIOcP](https://suno.com/s/cpAOvKwqeGQCIOcP)
When you trade an eval, you add an extra layer to the game that need not exist. A great many of these 'rules', if not all of them, are actually NOT based on risk principles that align with patterns that a consistently profitable trader would exhibit.
The worst offenders are the 'consistency rules.' This is a totally moronic idea that most often caps the upside more than anything else.

Many traders entirely RELY on days that have disproportionate wins, I would almost go as far to say that they would NOT be profitable without them.
The thing is, you might actually already have an edge that could produce you consistent returns, but only if you were trading YOUR OWN MONEY. Instead of trying to make your profit curve look like the top left, you could just make it look like the top right.
Note that the people who you usually see on podcasts have an equity curve like the one of the lower right. They are paying an exorbitant amount of eval fees knowing that they may only pass one in three of them, but the total cost of payouts out weighs the cost of paying for them. The hilarious part about this, is that they might not actually have an edge at all. If they attempted that strategy with their own money, they would have no expected value and their account would go to zero. They are merely exploiting the fact that evals are cheap when compared to payouts.

It seems with the boost in popularity of prop firms a true equity curve of a profitable trader (the one in the top right) is entirely unfathomable. For someone who is steadily hitting base hits, with the occasional home run, they could actually make a living growing their own account. You would simply wait until you made \~100% return, then take out 40% and then rinse and repeat. This way you protect you from yourself, while also becoming used to larger and larger position sizing.

My most recent purchase is Remitly Globsl Inc. (RELY). This is an innovative company engaged in setting up online platforms for international monetary transfers. Barron’s recommended the stock within the last few days — projecting returns of 30% or more over the next year.
If you buy this stock, you should hold it for at least a year.
