Module 6
The psychology that gets you through a prop-firm evaluation, and keeps the funding.
A free, six-lesson primer. It opens with how to choose a prop firm, then covers the behavioral patterns that fail funded-account evaluations: the week-three cycle, the post-loss spiral, the give-back, the hero-day trap, and the identity shift after your first payout. Built to be taken alongside the Prop Firm Readiness Assessment. Firm-agnostic and education only, no trading strategy.
Most of this course is about passing an evaluation and keeping the account. This lesson is about the decision that comes first: which firm to fund with. The rules differ more than the marketing admits, and the structure you pick decides which of your habits gets tested first.
Most evaluations are not lost on day one. They are lost in week three, when the same trader who wrote calm rules starts trading the account instead of the process. This lesson names the cycle so you can break it.
Two losses in a row change the hardware running your decisions. This lesson covers the stress response behind a tilt spiral and the stand-down rule that has to trip well before the firm's daily loss limit.
Loss aversion makes banked profit giving back hurt at roughly double the intensity of the equivalent gain. This lesson shows why you cannot fix it in the moment, and the written limit that decides for you in advance.
The trap that punishes your best instinct. Under a consistency rule, a single record day can fail an evaluation that broke no other rule. This lesson covers the restraint that turns your best day into a manageable risk.
Passing is the easy part. The account most traders blow is the one they already won. This lesson covers the identity shift after the first payout, and hands off to the full operating system.
