Passing a prop firm challenge.



Andrew Mitchem

If you're on a $10,000 prop firm, you know, you you're risking quite tiny amounts, but that's fine, you know? But just go very, very small because just don't get stopped out and you'll eventually, you know, if you're trading good enough, you'll eventually get to that profit target.

Andrew Mitchem

Etienne Crete

Andrew Mitchem
