The 2026 Process

Every year, traders set goals. And every year, most of them repeat the same mistakes.

The issue is not motivation. The issue is the absence of a clear trading process.

The 2026 Process is about doing things differently. It is about building discipline, structure, and consistency — the same principles that PropScholar is built around.

Stop Chasing Random Prop Firms

One of the biggest mistakes traders make is jumping between random prop firms without a structured plan.

Cheap challenges, discounts, and promises of instant funding create noise but not progress. This behavior leads to confusion, poor execution, and repeated failure.

PropScholar strongly discourages this approach. Instead of firm hopping, traders should commit to a single, structured evaluation environment that builds discipline over time.

---

Create a Trading Plan Before You Trade

At PropScholar, one rule is clear: no serious trader operates without a plan.

A proper trading plan for 2026 should define:

• Markets and sessions to trade
• Risk per trade and daily loss limits
• Entry and exit logic
• Rules for stopping after losses

PropScholar evaluations reward traders who follow plans, not those who chase impulses.

---

Trading Journals Build Self-Awareness

PropScholar encourages every trader to maintain a trading journal.

Journaling is not about tracking profits. It is about tracking behavior.

A proper journal should record:

• Trade reasoning and execution quality
• Risk taken on each position
• Emotional state during the trade
• Post-trade analysis and lessons

Traders who journal consistently inside PropScholar develop awareness, discipline, and repeatable execution.

Session Reviews Turn Experience Into Growth

Trading sessions should not end when charts close.

PropScholar encourages traders to review each session and openly discuss performance, mistakes, and improvements.

Session reviews should answer:

• Was the trading plan followed?
• Were PropScholar risk rules respected?
• What mistakes were repeated?
• What should be adjusted next session?

This habit transforms trading into a professional process.

Move Beyond Endless Demo Trading

Demo trading has value, but staying there too long creates unrealistic habits.

PropScholar bridges the gap between demo and real prop firms. Traders experience real evaluation rules, real drawdown discipline, and real accountability — without risking large personal capital.

This environment shapes traders the right way before they move to top tier prop firms.
