What's your non-negotiable Trading rule?

A trader can be profitable with a 40–50% win rate if risk is controlled properly. Consistent position sizing and protecting your account often matter more than trying to win every trade.

Is a 80%+ win rate a green flag for you, or an instant trigger for a Risk Review? The irony of modern prop trading: if you lose money, nobody asks questions. The moment you hit a 10-trade winning streak with a 85% win r…
