Prop-style competitions can reward the wrong behavior

A competition format can push traders into oversizing because the leaderboard rewards speed. That does not always translate into a durable trading process. I would rather see consistency rules, daily loss limits, and clean review notes. Winning for a month is nice, but the bigger question is whether the behavior can survive a full market cycle.
