Spot on. The single most important lesson for any newcomer is mastering risk management over chasing setups. In a prop firm challenge, you aren't just fighting the market; you are managing strict daily loss limits and drawdown boundaries. A single oversized trade can wipe out weeks of discipline and breach your account before your edge ever plays out. Focus on small, consistent position sizing, protect your capital, and treat patience as your primary trading tool. How do you usually handle your daily risk limits when starting a new phase? Feel free to share your approach below!
