    Great article, the way prop trading is evolving in 2025 makes a lot of sense.

    The point about untimed evaluations stood out to me. Passing a challenge under a tight deadline mostly proves someone can trade fast, not that they can manage risk over months. Removing the clock should give a truer picture of consistency, though I wonder whether it also encourages traders to sit in drawdown longer instead of cutting losses early. Curious how firms weigh time spent against risk discipline when deciding who gets funded.
