One thing that actually took me quite some time to realize when getting into futures props is this….
You need to know what type of trader you are.
This is totally individualized based on your edge, the frequency of trades, what you value in a prop.
I’ll be completely honest when I first got into futures I tried straight to funded accounts and let me just say it did not fit the way I trade whatsoever the consistency rule, the length of time to payouts, the payout caps it was a psychological barrier already against me prior to me even taking a trade. I lost a lot of accounts trading S2F
My edge lies in my patience to wait, I trade less frequently, I enjoy my bigger days trending days and that’s the trader I am and always will be.
Align the props and the accounts you trade with who suit u as a trader. For me I enjoy frequently rewarded payouts, I can capture a trend day and not be penalized or constricted by the confines of rules and caps.
Focus and know what type of trader you are and what firm and rules align with you and your edge. 🤝💯
