I've noticed that many new traders focus on getting funded as quickly as possible.


But here's something worth thinking about...


A prop firm gives you access to capital it doesn't give you discipline.


If you can't follow risk management on a $100 account, it's unlikely you'll suddenly become disciplined on a $100,000 funded account.


Passing a challenge is one milestone.


Staying funded consistently is a completely different challenge.


What's your opinion?


Do prop firms create better traders, or do they simply expose the habits traders already have?

That's so true! You need disciplined and to monitor your feelings, especially when you're about to tilt. This is the strategy I use when trading with prop firms, like Hola Prime. In other words, I'm very careful and only move when I know I can make the trade.
