It isn't rare, it's exactly what I said in my first reply to them. Max 4% total risk, plus max 1.5% risk per trade, plus max 0.65 exposure. The issue is the max exposure is so tight it doesn't correspond to the 4% or 1.5%.
I get their perspective, focus on risk first, but opportunity cost is also a risk. Success rate gets equally skewed. And I understand exposure, but even 10:1 correlates more to 1.5% and 4% prospectively than 5:1 does. I'm not saying open the full 100:1, but do they want a variety of successful strategies or just the one type that fits their view. For me, I'm not going down to 0.25% risk per trade, at that point I can make more money at 300k USD with a different prop firm than I would with their entire 1.28 million. And the whole thing stems from the exposure, not the 4% max risk. It's a running theme at this point.

The best strategy is a profitable one.
