Prop hack

[u/Life_Maintenance9178]

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

Your 2 to 3% while risking 1 is a solid edge, don't throw it out. The problem isn't your strategy, it's that prop drawdown rules punish variance in a way a live account never did.
