Factor In Slippage During High Volatility
Proprietary trading firms use environments that mimic live market liquidity. If you trade during extreme volatility, the price can "gap" right past your stop loss and execute at a much worse level. This severe slippage can easily push your account into a hard breach even if your stop loss was technically placed safely within your daily limit. Always leave an extra equity buffer to account for slippage! 🛑📊✅
