Read more →Institutional trading education teaches you how to manage risk like a professional desk; most retail courses teach you how to find entries like a spectator — and that one difference decides who survives.

Read more →Whether you can trade news in a prop firm challenge is decided by the firm’s rulebook, not by the market - and the professional answer is that a high-impact release is a moment to reduce risk, never a moment to add it, because widening spreads and slippage turn a defined 1% loss into an undefined one.
