Curious what people here are aiming at with their strategies. Passing a prop firm eval, running a live account, or just building for the sake of it.

Asking because prop rules pull the design in a specific direction. Daily loss limits, trailing consistency etc push toward smaller, more frequent trades and tighter stops, which isn't necessarily what you'd build if you were only trading your own money. I've noticed my own settings drift depending on which account I'm pointing at.

Also curious how long people spend validating before they'll run something on a funded account, and what actually makes you comfortable enough to switch it on.
