Prop Firm Trading Without Time Constraints

[YellowWitty]

These days I am seeing a lot of prop firms offering more flexible rules, and we also get more time to complete the challenges. I think it’s great because there is no pressure to hit the target in a month.

I tested different prop firms and finally got started with a challenge at Hola Prime. I like the challenge model since there is no time limit. They focus more on consistency and drawdown limits. I hope I am able to secure a funded account in the end.

It would be good to hear about the experiences of those who’ve tried prop challenges without time constraints. How do you stay disciplined, and do you set a specific duration for completing the challenge? Thanks in advance for the tips.

I like the no deadline model too, but I still give myself one. Usually 6 to 10 weeks, not because I must pass, but because it keeps my decisions clean. If I can’t get there with normal execution, pushing trades just to “finish” is usually where people break rules.

For discipline, I keep it boring: small risk, fewer trades, journal every entry, and a weekly review of whether I followed my plan. The biggest edge is consistency, not intensity.

Prop firm challenges without a time limit take away the pressure to finish fast, which makes you less likely to rush and make mistakes. That actually improves your chances of passing the challenge. Another thing I’ve noticed with these challenges is the strict consistency rules, which can be tricky for many new traders.

Thanks for sharing that. I’m planning to give myself enough time as well so there’s no rush. Do you still set daily or weekly targets, or do you keep it more flexible?

Yeah, you’re right about the consistency rules. They can be tough if you’re not already used to following a disciplined system. I’m hoping a slower pace and clear rules will be enough to stay within them.

I personally prefer prop firms that don’t impose high profit targets within short timeframes. The goals should be realistic and stress-free so you can focus on executing well without breaking the rules. That kind of flexibility is important for passing these challenges. You can also set personal milestones, like aiming to complete it within 60 days, but without rushing.
