As an aside, the "Stopout" requirement that @the5ers introduced last month makes it soooo much easier to check whether you are about to bump-up against a risk management rule. No more "Max % Daily DD", or "Max % Account DD" like with other prop trading companies. I don't begrudge @the5ers creating rules to protect their capital and business model -- that's what they are good at. Unless I'm missing something, with their current low-risk program it feels like I can focus more on my trading strategy and spend less time worrying about crashing out. I mean, if I crash out it's going to be because of my strategy and not because of some hidden or obtuse rule that I broke.
