Disliked{quote} It can be explained even more simply....been posted many times. Clearly, some aren't paying attention. Pay $500 for a 100K challenge and simutaneously deposit $500 in a personal account. Stage 1 the average target is 8% with 10% DD, you'd have $900 in personal account. Stage 2 is 5% with 10% DD, $900 becomes $1,350. Prop firm refunds the $500, so apples to apples, you must pull $500 from personal, leaving you $850. With the prop you have 10K DD, with 80-90% split, let's call it $8,500.....it is 10X what you would have in personal account....Ignored
