Posting this as a heads-up for the whole community. June is historically one of the most dangerous months for funded traders and here's what you need to watch out for. Why June is a trap month Central bank decisions are heavy this month. Fed, ECB, BOE all meeting within weeks of each other and spreads spike hard around these events. Your firm won't warn you about it either. End of Q2 means institutional repositioning is happening behind the scenes. You'll see price moves that make zero technical sense and your stop loss gets hunted even on the cleanest setups. Liquidity also drops mid-June as European traders start heading into summer holidays. Thin markets mean erratic wicks that will stop you out before price goes exactly where you thought it would. And here's the part nobody talks about openly. Many prop firms see their highest account breach rates in June compared to any other month. That is not a coincidence. What I would personally do this month Cut your lot sizes down by at least 30%. Just do it. Avoid holding any positions during NFP, FOMC and CPI releases. Give the market at least 15 minutes after major news before touching anything. And if you are already close to passing your challenge please just go conservative and protect what you have built. June will shake out the impatient traders. The firms know this. Don't hand them your challenge fee back. Stay sharp, trade small, and live to trade July.
