Why "1% Risk Per Trade" Is a Mathematical Trap on Prop Firm Challenges
When you buy a $100,000 evaluation from FTMO, FundedNext, or Top One Trader with a 5% daily loss limit ($5,000) and a 10% max loss limit ($10,000), you are not trading a $100,000 account—you are trading a $5,000 daily risk allowance.
