From Challenge to Funded: The Psychology of Raising Your Stakes

When the stakes go up, your trading skills go down. But why? You crush prop firm challenges, stay calm with small size, and execute perfectly… until real money is on the line. Suddenly your discipline disappears.

If you want to trade bigger without your mindset breaking under pressure, this is the conversation you need to hear.
