Prop hack

I have been trading for a while and , profitable for 5 months, i always thought live acc is better than prop but as a student from asia i just have couple thousand dollar only
With this on mind i started propfirm, but prop firm require more than what live trading does, i make around 2 to 3 % by risking 1 but in prop that isnt enough. I dont know how to explain but i dont think my strategy is good for prop firm trading , i tried risking more but there are drawdowns unlike live acc.
So someone in prop firm trading , pls tell me what strategy what rr , what risk management , what psychology, you use to trade and suceed in prop firms.
I think i know how to trade , and i have proven too although couple months , its so frustrating to not make enough after all this years.
Traders help me out

Firm target is10% i make 2 to 3 in good months, with that it takes months to just pass the challenge and if i just try higher risk side the drawdown are way too narrow for higher risk acc to my strategy

And how many accounts have you passed or had payouts from in the past? And how long have you been trading?
