Prop firms skew your perception of trading They make you think 15% is a small return because that’s what it takes to pass a Phase 1 & 2 When in reality, even for the best traders, it will likely take MONTHS for you to reach a 15% return New traders get an unrealistic view of the markets based on these prop firm challenges and what they see (fake) traders posting online Start taking trading slowly and realise that it will probably take a few months for you to pass a challenge But once you’ve passed that, made payouts and re-invested them into more Then it can only take about a year or less to build to $1M in funded capital - where 3-5% monthly returns can make you a LOT of money Stop having a false expectation on the markets Take it slow, try to aim for 30-50% a year and don’t get discouraged when you go through drawdown periods
