What is making it for propfirm to A-book profitable strategies and make sure that the becomes a career just like what SMB capital does, making profitable traders
Honestly, most online prop firms make all there money from people failing challenges, so they dont even bother A-booking trades to the real market cuz it cost way to much money and tech. For them to actually build careers like SMB Capital, they gotta stop relying on rule traps and start sharing real profits from real market execution. If they actually hedge your trades for real, they want you to win long term instead of just hoping you blow the account
Having a verified track record is main thing.
Prop firms struggle to “A-book” and scale traders like SMB Capital mainly because most retail prop models are built around **risk limits and evaluation fees**, not long-term capital allocation. They prioritize survival rules (drawdowns, consistency limits) to protect the firm, which can restrict how freely profitable strategies are scaled. Firms like SMB work differently because they invest heavily in **training, internal capital, and direct mentorship**, allowing traders to grow gradually into consistent profit centers.
