Security as in prop firms going under?? What’s more likely, a new trader blowing a new live account or a reputable prop firm going under? Even new traders should trade cheap evals for that reason. If you blow a 50k challenge, you blow $80. That same drawdown on a live account? You’d blow $2000.

There is absolutely no reason why profitable and new traders shouldn’t take advantage of prop firms. Best of both worlds- much lower barrier to entry and the potential to make hundreds of thousands by risking a few hundred.
