Everyone I know is chasing funded accounts right now, and I’m starting to wonder if a personal broker account is becoming a relic. So let’s settle it with real experience, not marketing.
With so many traders moving to prop firms, is a personal broker account still worth it? Here are three questions to get you going:
1.What’s your setup right now? Personal broker, prop firm, or both? How much capital is actually in play?
- Have you ever lost more on challenge fees than you made in payouts? Be honest, how many attempts did it take before your first real payout?
3.If a prop firm changed its rules tomorrow (drawdown, payout split, consistency rule), would you stay, or go back to your own broker?
Drop your numbers, your wins and your horror stories. No hype, just what’s actually working for you.
