I am relatively new to prop firms and want to take my time trying different ones to understand the nuances firsthand. Right now, I am testing the waters with a few firms and doing my best to get funded with small accounts at FTMO, Hola Prime, and The5ers.


My question is not really about passing the challenge, but what happens after that. I know some firms have different rules once you are funded, and there are conditions mentioned that only apply to the funded phase. Besides these rule differences, what other changes do you notice once you start trading a funded account?


As a beginner, how do you make the most of being funded and avoid common mistakes? Hoping to get some helpful advice.
