FAQ

What should a beginner look for in a prop firm?

Three things: a max drawdown of 8% or more (room for normal losing streaks), a 2-step evaluation with realistic targets (less pressure than 1-step), and clear rules with no hidden consistency or news traps. Read the firm's decoded rulebook before paying for a challenge.

Should a beginner start with instant funding?

Usually not. Instant funding costs more up front and its drawdown is tighter — a mistake gets expensive fast. A cheaper 2-step evaluation is a lower-risk way to learn how funded-account rules feel in practice.
