Successfully navigating the challenge of prop trading firms requires more than just good market judgment. A precise strategy, thoughtful risk management and strong discipline are key. In this article, we’ll look at a practical guide on how to manage risk when trading a prop firm account with a capital of $100,000.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ll demonstrate models with different reward\/risk ratios (2:1 and 3:1), calculate what win rate is needed to reach the goal of +$10,000, and compare the effectiveness of each approach. The goal is to minimise the number of trades, keep the risk under control, and at the same time meet the challenging conditions of the challenge. This article is intended for both novice prop traders and more advanced traders looking for a structured plan.<\/p>\n
