We all know market conditions influence how traders approach risk. The interesting part is how traders adapt. As confidence shifts, more traders are exploring ways to gain experience without putting all of their own capital on the line. In our latest Space on prop firms and trading with someone...

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: When asked about how 3:15 PM cutoffs and closing auction price spreads are disrupting his algorithmic hedging and intraday risk management, with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) confirming Closing Auction Session (CAS) is permanent, Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research, Kotak Securities, says, "...If we go through with the CAS-related issues which are giving some kind of uneasiness for option traders... this time option traders, they are mainly affected. The reason is that between this time gap, the prices change a lot, and because of that, most of the time on the day of expiry, especially on the day of expiry, it actually impacts option traders, those who are like writers. Broadly, we are of the view that at present SEBI is holding a lot of meetings with brokers, traders, algo traders, and they are designing their framework... they are ready to make changes as per the difficulties which traders are facing... broadly, I am of the view that it may take some time, but in the next maybe 1-2 months, definitely something will come out concrete, and based on that, again, we can see normalisation in the market... till then, option traders, especially writers or those who are using algorithms, they are trying to stay away from the market because of which volatility has also come down sharply in the market. You can see the market is falling gradually, but at the same time, intraday volatility is very low. Even if we consider Volatility Index (VIX), India's VIX index, that is also close to 11 or maybe 11.5 sort of levels, which is the lowest... it means that option traders are not active in this market. That is why I am of the view that it will take some time to come to normalcy. But eventually, definitely, we will come out with something that will help traders, option traders, I mean to say, in terms of managing their risk. It's not that they can increase their volume and all because our government is primarily focusing on controlling this particular speculative activity... they are trying to control that, and maybe because of that, I think they will come out with something which is very balanced."

There’s a truth prop firms don’t tell traders… And many traders don’t even realize it. Let me spill it. To get a $100K prop firm account, you usually pay $1,500 – $2,500. A $1M account can cost $5,000 – $20,000. But here’s the catch: Most prop firms offer 1:20 – 1:50 leverage Maybe 1:100 at best. Then they add: • Daily drawdown limits • Maximum drawdown rules • Strict risk parameters So what does that really mean? Even though it says $100K account, the usable risk capital is closer to ~$5K–$7K. That’s the real buying power you’re trading with. Now think about this: Most traders on a $100K funded account withdraw around $5K – $20K during payouts. But ask yourself honestly… Have you ever seen someone withdraw $100K from a $100K account? Rare. Now consider the time cost: • Phase 1 • Phase 2 • Sometimes Phase 3 During those stages you might make great profits — but it’s all on demo. You get nothing for it. Now imagine this instead: If you took that $2,500 challenge fee And traded your own capital with the same strategy… Could you scale it to $5K, $10K, even $20K in a few months? Many traders probably could. Another truth most people don’t talk about: Some prop firms copy trades from profitable traders on the backend and make multiples of what the trader earns. So they profit from: • Challenge fees • Failed accounts • And even your winning trades Which makes you wonder… Should traders actually be paying prop firms? Or should prop firms be looking for traders for free? Just something to think about. Not financial advice. Just my personal perspective as a trader.
