How To Pass Prop Firms Using Simple Maths

You can have a profitable trading strategy, but still fail to pass a single prop firm challenge. And I went through this exact same thing. I blew through seven prop firm challenges before I ever got funded. But now I pass dozens of prop firm challenges and scale to becoming a seven-figure trader. And what I've learned is that passing prop firm challenges almost has nothing to do with being profitable. It actually comes down to understanding basic maths. And so in this video, I'm going to show you the exact numbers you need to understand so you can start passing challenges consistently. So first off, we need to make sure we're choosing the right account to be trading. Cuz if you choose the wrong one, you can waste hundreds of dollars and make you getting funded 10 times harder. And what I found is that for the majority of people, the best account tends to be the 50K futures account. They're pretty cheap and they're pretty easy to pass. And there's a reason why we're only going to be choosing the 50K prop firm challenge. This 50K challenge has a $2,000 max drawdown. So that's the actual account size that you're working with, which is a 4% max drawdown. And you have to make 6% or $3,000 to pass that account. And so you need to make 150% of your max drawdown to get funded. With these bigger account sizes, they tend to be more expensive and also harder to pass. Having around a 3K max drawdown, 3% max drawdown, and you have to make 6% to get funded. So you want to think of these big accounts as yes, you have more capital to work with, but they are 50% harder to pass. And so all the maths that I break down that I cover is going to be using the 50K model. So with this 4% max drawdown and 6% profit target. And if I had to start trading all over again, this is the account that I would use. And trading becomes easier when you care less about the outcome. And the easiest way to care less about the outcome is to choose a cheaper account. And so for the purposes of this video, we're going to be focusing on this 50K account. It's a lot easier to pass and it's cheaper so we can avoid ourselves, you know, digging a deep hole if we, you know, blow through a couple prop firm challenges in the beginning. And so now that we know what the right type of account is, we need to actually understand the maths behind prop firms because they are built for you to fail. They are engineered for you to blow prop firm challenges even if you have a be strategy. So the number one misconception I see traders have is that they think more profitability will lead to a higher pass rate,
