Episode notes

ADVICE

Be Aggressive with Prop Firms

Treat each prop firm account challenge as a single trade with sub-trades inside it.
Adopt an aggressive approach to clear prop firm accounts fast instead of stretching it over months.

ADVICE

Buy Multiple Small Accounts

If you only have a small budget, buy multiple small prop firm accounts instead of risking all on one.
Blowing multiple accounts teaches more and reduces risk than blowing one large account.

ADVICE

Prioritize High Win Rate

Focus on high win rate strategies rather than high risk-reward ratios in prop firm trading.
A win rate around 80% with low risk-reward reduces account blowout risk under prop firm constraints.
