its not about the strategy the game is all about the risk management i usually take 1 percent risk on every trade if i get to the draw down of 3 percent i change my risk appitide to .5 percent
fr tho, scaling risk down from 1% to 0.5% once u hit a drawdown is proper solid advice. most blown challenges just come down to ppl panic-chasing losses when things go sideways, so knowing how to pull back and slow the pace is what actually keeps an account alive.
spot on. passing prop firms has zero to do with finding some holy grail indicator and 100% to do with dd management. used to overthink it too, but locking in dynamic lot sizing—like scaling down risk to 0.5% once u hit a 3% drawdown—via automated scripts and calc tools completely changed the game. at the end of the day it’s just about stripping out emotion and letting code protect capital.
