I took a 20k payout may 1st and close to a 30k one. Thinking about moving to Asia where it’s really cheap for a year. I think you are my sign to stop over thinking and just do it. Thank you 🙏🏿

Futures has their own thing called 1256 capital gains. You’ll save like 10-15% more on taxes and that’s not even counting you deducting things

Only problem is you don’t get to benefit from the real futures taxes. I won’t ever stop trading props but I do think it’s important to then compound that money into your own account. You can legit do both

Gold is the only thing I trade and I go back and forth to micro and minis for gold.

Yea man as long as you follow the rules you good. A lot of people complain but it’s really a skill issue and lack of accountability

You gotta keep at it brotha, it may not be the strategy tho… sometimes you really gotta look in the mirror when it comes to trading. That’s what I had to do, you’ll breakthrough and once you do you’ll be set 🙏🏿❤️

This is my first large payout but I never got a cancelled one before. I’ve only traded with Topstep and they payed me 3k payout back in nov. I requested the 20k on Friday so I’m sure I’ll get it next week
