A trader shares a long-running positive payout experience and mentions a prior risk restriction. The thread is useful for understanding how real traders describe risk-team interactions, but it remains self-reported evidence.
Intraday trailing drawdown dominates the discussion, with consistency and payout buffers also criticized. The thread is a useful sentiment snapshot for prioritizing filters in FundedChecker.
