No Minimum Holding Rule at PropScholar

PropScholar believes that a trader should be evaluated based on skill, not restricted by artificial rules. That is why we have officially removed the minimum holding rule from PropScholar evaluations.

This change is part of our long term commitment to building a fair, trustworthy, and reliable trading evaluation platform.

What Is a Minimum Holding Rule

A minimum holding rule forces traders to keep trades open for a fixed amount of time before closing them. Many prop firms use this rule to restrict scalping or fast executions.

While this may sound reasonable on paper, in practice it often punishes skilled traders who execute precisely and manage risk efficiently.

Why PropScholar Removed the Minimum Holding Rule

PropScholar does not believe in controlling how traders execute their strategy. Markets move differently every day, and forcing a fixed holding time can damage good trades instead of improving them.

By removing the minimum holding rule, traders are free to:

• Exit trades when the setup is complete
• Protect profits during fast market moves
• Cut risk immediately when conditions change
• Trade based on logic, not a timer

A Drawdown-Only Evaluation Model

PropScholar has also removed unnecessary evaluation factors and simplified the system to focus on what truly matters.

Today, traders are evaluated primarily on drawdown rules. If risk is respected and drawdown limits are not breached, trading style and holding duration do not matter.

This creates a cleaner and more transparent evaluation process.

No Consistency Rule. No Holding Rule. No Strategy Bias

Along with removing the minimum holding rule, PropScholar does not enforce:

• No minimum holding time
• No consistency rule
• No restriction on trading style

Scalpers, intraday traders, and position traders are all evaluated fairly under the same risk framework.

Why This Model Is More Trustworthy

Many traders fail evaluations not because of bad trading, but because of hidden or restrictive rules.

PropScholar’s approach removes confusion and creates clarity. Traders know exactly what matters: risk control and discipline.

This is what makes the evaluation reliable and transparent.

Built for Real Traders

PropScholar is focused on building long term trust with traders. Removing the minimum holding rule is not a marketing decision. It is a structural improvement.

Traders are free to trade how the market demands, not how a rulebook forces them to.

---

Conclusion

There is no minimum holding rule at PropScholar. Traders are evaluated based on drawdown management, not on how long a trade stays open.

With no consistency rule and a drawdown-only evaluation model, PropScholar offers one of the most trader-friendly and reliable evaluation systems in the industry.

TLDR
