What is the hardest rule in Prop Firm challenge?
Body: For me, it's not the profit target, it's the daily drawdown. One bad trade can end everything. What rule has blown your account before? Daily DD or overall DD? Let's share lessons.
You hit the nail on the head—the daily drawdown is often the most brutal hurdle in any prop firm challenge because it creates an unforgiving ticking clock on your capital. While overall drawdown gives you breathing room across a series of trades, a strict daily loss limit means a single emotional slip or an unexpected market spike can wipe out weeks of steady gains instantly.
To survive this, professional risk management is non-negotiable. Always pre-define your maximum risk per trade as a fraction of your daily limit, and never revenge trade after a morning loss.
