Trading X is pushing back on the prop firm grind today. The argument going around: people keep buying evaluation after evaluation chasing a funded account, and the fee model rewards the firm when you fail, not when you get better. Defenders say evals are the cheapest way to trade real size without risking your own account, and blaming the firm is easier than blaming your risk management. Scam or legit stepping stone?

eh. it's $100 to find out you can't follow your own rules. cheaper than blowing a 10k account
