23 July 2026 , Abe Cofnas
The consistency rule is a prop-firm risk rule that caps how much of your total profit can come from your single best trading day.

Prop Firm Drawdown Types Explained: Intraday, EOD, Static, and the Lock Point
21 July 2026 , Abe Cofnas
In futures prop trading, the drawdown rule decides who keeps a funded account and who loses it, and the single most important detail is when that rule is measured.

13 July 2026 , Abe Cofnas
Gold often moves further in one London afternoon than a major currency pair moves in a week. That is exactly why day trading gold attracts so many traders, and exactly why so many of them fail. XAU/USD combines deep liquidity with sudden, violent expansion, and it punishes anyone who treats it like a slower market. […]

12 July 2026 , Abe Cofnas
Search interest in a BRICS gold-backed currency spikes after every summit, and so do the myths.
