Trading a prop firm challenge is a test of skill, discipline, and timing. These evaluations are meant to be fair, but they also follow strict structure. Rules exist for good reason. They create a level playing field and make sure traders succeed based on skill rather than luck or loopholes. But there is a point where structure becomes rigidity.
For many traders, that point shows up right when they start to find their rhythm.
Maybe it's a Friday afternoon. You have a position in profit and the setup still looks solid going into next week. But weekend holding is not allowed, so you're forced to close it. Or maybe there's a high-impact news release approaching. The kind of volatility your system is built for, but you have to sit out. Or maybe after a string of solid trades, one bad day knocks your equity down just a little too far. One misstep, and the entire account is gone.
The issue is not with the challenge itself. The problem is that these guardrails, while fair on paper, sometimes punish the kind of trading that works in the real world. In real accounts, traders manage risk. They do not get disqualified for taking it.
This is where add-ons come in.
Add-ons are not shortcuts. They do not make the challenge easier. What they do is create space for more realistic decision-making. They allow traders to operate closer to how they would in live markets.
Take weekend holding. It does not give you an edge. It simply gives you a choice. Some strategies need to span multiple sessions. Others rely on gaps. For those traders, being forced to flatten positions breaks the logic of the setup.
Then there is news trading access. Some traders do their best work during volatility. Why should those moments be off-limits when that is exactly where their edge lives?
And the reset add-on is perhaps the simplest of all. One mistake should not mean throwing away the whole account. Especially for traders who are consistent over time. In real life, accounts are managed. They are not deleted.
That is the spirit behind add-ons at Mockapital. We built them to give serious traders the flexibility to trade their strategy as it was meant to be traded. And for many, that flexibility has made all the difference.
This month, we are taking it one step further.
