What you'll learn

Most traders who fail a prop-firm account do not fail because their edge is bad — they fail because they treated the firm's rules as fine print instead of as the physics of the game. This course makes the rulebook your operating environment: the three drawdown types and why a trailing floor ratchets up on a green day but never back down on a red one, daily loss limits and lockouts, contract scaling and consistency ceilings, news-window conduct rules, multi-account and copy-trading risk, kill switches, breach forensics, and the payout psychology that quietly inflates your size right before you get paid. Every lesson works one funded-account scenario end to end in real dollars, then hands you a repeatable card of numbers to compute before the bell. You finish with a single pre-session, in-session, and post-session operating plan that keeps a full stop from ever reaching the nearest wall.
