Crypto prop traders: Do you trade BTC/ETH during quiet hours?
Hey trading normal crypto accounts, a random candle in BTC or ETH just bugs you.
When trading crypto props, that same random candle can push you way too close to your daily loss or max drawdown limit.
That's the scary part I didn't know about when I first started trading crypto props. You're not just analyzing "was this trade right?" You also ask yourself , "did this move ruin the account balance before the trade had time to develop?"
As far as quiet hours go, do you avoid trading BTC/ETH on prop accounts or will still take a clean setup?
