Do you trade differently on a challenge than on a funded account?
Same. If I change my risk because it’s “just a challenge,” I’m building bad habits.

Yes, traders often adjust their execution rules between an evaluation (challenge) phase and a funded account due to the fundamental difference in goals: passing a target under a time/drawdown constraint versus preserving capital to extract recurring payouts.
