How to Handle Funded Account Pressure

The floor, measured in trades

The floor, measured in trades. A funded account of 100,000 with a daily floor of five percent, 5,000, with these as example rules, is a floor whose distance depends on the size. At one percent a trade, 1,000 each, it is five losses away. At half a percent, ten. At a quarter of a percent, twenty. The pressure is the floor felt as near, and it is near or far according to one number the trader types. The firm set the floor. The trader sets the distance to it, and a trader five losses from the end of the account is under a pressure that a trader twenty away is not, on the same account, under the same rules.

The same rope, with a net

Picture a tightrope with a net under it. The rope is the firm's rules, the same rope for everyone who takes the evaluation, and it did not change when the net went up. What changed is the fall: a few feet onto the net, instead of the whole way. The walker on the netted rope walks the same rope with a different body, because the shaking was never the rope; it was the height. The rules are the rope, the small size is the net, and funded account pressure is what walking a rope with no net under it does to the legs, and then to the hands on the mouse.
