Trading can destroy a trader’s life… if not handled correctly.

Here’s why & how ⬇️ Emotional and Psychological Toll
•Obsessive behavior: Watching charts 24/7, skipping meals, losing sleep.
•Depression from loss: One blown account can spiral into deep emotional damage.
•Addiction: Trading becomes gambling when discipline is lost.

Here is how to apply the principle of 2 trades per day risking 0.50% per trade (1% max daily risk) can help you pass prop firm challenges using a $5,000 account with:

• Phase 1 Profit Target: 8% ($400)
• Phase 2 Profit Target: 6% ($300)

Note: This is simply a way which I have traded in 2025 and it has been effective

Controlled Risk Per Day

• Max daily loss: 1% of $5,000 = $50

• Max loss per trade: 0.5% of $5,000 = $25

This prevents emotional overtrading and large drawdowns, keeping your account safe and within prop firm rules (which often have strict daily drawdown limits).
