But the real process of joining the prop firm is somewhat lengthy and complex. In this article, you will discover the next steps after passing the challenge phase and the best practices for sustaining the funded stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Account Verification and KYC<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once traders pass a challenge, the next step is to complete account verification and \u2018know your customer\u2019 requirements. To complete this process, you need to submit:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A government-issued ID, such as a driver\u2019s licence<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proof of address<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bank details<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completing KYC and account verification on time, with accurate details, helps traders achieve a quick transition to the funded stage and receive payouts without delay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding Profit Splits and New Rules<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once funded, traders trade with profit splits and new rules. These are sometimes different from the evaluation phase. Most prop firms offer a 70\/30 or 90\/10 profit split. The trader keeps 70% or 90% of the profits, while the firm keeps the remaining 30% or 10%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, traders are sometimes required to follow new rules like the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily and max drawdown limits<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trading restrictions like news trading\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consistency requirements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scaling plans<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To survive this phase, traders must trade within these new rules and demonstrate discipline and consistency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychological Shift<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When traders are in the evaluation phase, their main focus is on meeting targets. But once they transition to the funded stage, they must meet profit targets while preserving capital. In this phase, some traders hit psychological extremes. Either they become too cautious or get overconfident.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, they lose grip over their emotional control, which is their biggest asset for sustainable trading. The most experienced traders of the industry treat trading like a business, which they have to build every day. They show up with solid execution and risk management to sustain and scale their accounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Practices to Stay Funded<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the best industry professionals swear by these practices to stay funded. These include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the prop firm\u2019s rules, such as trading restrictions and daily and overall drawdown limits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trading within required position sizes and avoiding revenge or impulsive trading.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping a trading journal to track lessons, losses, and improvements.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Showing up regularly with discipline and patience.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping their account withdrawals to a decent number to protect and secure their profits.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once traders follow these, they improve their performance and achieve maximum growth in their trading journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In trading, just clearing a challenge is not enough to be a part of a prop firm. Traders must complete account verification and KYC, follow all rules and risk guidelines, and trade with tact to avoid unnecessary losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The top industry professionals diligently follow these practices to successfully grow and scale up their accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking to find the best prop firms that offer a smooth transition from challenge clearance to funding, visit <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/propvator.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">propvator.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to read honest reviews and find discount offers. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most prop firm traders believe that once they pass a prop firm\u2019s challenge, they instantly become part of the firm.
