Shared from Twitter L2WTrades: Met a prop firm owner in Miami. He was very frank: "We hope 90% of people fail." It's not bad; it's just how the business model works. But what shocked me was that he showed me internal statistics: the traders who pass the challenge and survive are not the ones you might think. It's not about having a stronger strategy, innate discipline, or more experience. 👉 All of them share one common trait: they have "zero emotion" towards the results. The owner opened the backend: "Look, these 10,000 traders—emotional, over-leveraged, revenge trading, always greedy to make more, constantly changing stop-loss... performance is terrible." "But the other 300? They are like robots. Fixed risk, fixed process, zero emotional reactions. All mechanically executed." 📌 Guess who has a higher pass rate? Of course, it's the robot group. ⚙️ Are these 300 "robots" naturally cold-blooded? No. They just did one other thing: all decisions are made "before emotions even appear." The owner said: "The human brain can't make decisions under pressure. You think it can, but you can't. So winners don't make decisions under pressure—they just execute pre-made decisions." The method is simple: set entry conditions before the market opens, set stop-loss and exit points before entering, decide position size in advance, and make every trade identical. They don't control emotions; they avoid decision-making under emotional states.
