You know the plan.
Your firm allows $1,000 a day. Your plan: two trades, $500 max. You wrote it down last night.
The first loss.
Down $150. Still inside the plan.
The second one stings.
Down $320. This is usually where the plan goes out the window.
"Just one more to make it back."
You’ve heard that voice before. So has your account.
TradeGuard holds the line.
Your own stop takes you out at your $500 limit. TradeGuard locks new trades until tomorrow, and the firm’s limit is never reached.
You trade again.
Your prop account is still there, and so are your rules.
