<![CDATA[real feedback wanted, life after getting funded]]>passed my first prop firm evaluation 5 weeks ago. now funded $50k account. honestly the change in trading psychology has been bigger than i expected.

the eval was about hitting targets. funded is about not breaking rules to keep the income going. completely different mindset shift.

for funded traders 6+ months in: how did your trading evolve? what surprised you about the transition that you wish someone had warned you about?

P&L stabilized but ceiling lower than during eval push.
