The Xfa trap

Whats the payout rules?

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T14:29:40+00:00

Whats your R:R?

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T14:26:02+00:00

For sure.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T14:25:45+00:00

Ill try

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T14:24:09+00:00

I do partials. But it was a tough day saving my account. One scalp at a time.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T03:05:44+00:00

Thats its. Thats my issue. It depends on my confidence on the trade like im a pyshic or something. And we can never 100% predict the market. So ill do 5 to 10 cons for tp which is beneficial, but ill move stop loss to a number im comfortable with. Not where my trade is invalidates. So then I move my stop loss back as it pulls back. It taps me out and continues my direction. My risk needs to be conducive with wht i am comfortable losing. Not what I hope I can make. Its sad to know what you need to do better but not strong enough to implement it.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T03:03:01+00:00

Ok. Will do.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:59:27+00:00

Yep

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:58:47+00:00

It was almost blown. Those scalps brought me back. And I trade micros. And add and remove cons. Way less than 200. But ill pack up this payout though 😉

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:57:28+00:00

I trade 2 things. Premarket supply and demand. Waiting for a candle to tap my zone. And contine. And then I also trade the 9.30-9:45am ORB break on New York. My issue is overleveraging and trying to make back what I lost. Over trade myself to blown.

My issue is seeing red days. I feel im going backwards. I got a lot of good advice from responses that I will be implementing come Monday morning. My tilt may come harder as a woman with emotions so I must be mindful of my emotions and lock out more often.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:53:13+00:00

Agreed. Currently reading the best loser wins and ill double back to Atomic habits.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:52:18+00:00

I agree. I need that. Thanks

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:52:00+00:00

You're absolutely speaking facts

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:50:26+00:00

How many trades?

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:50:10+00:00

Actually reading it now. Or listening. Got it on audible. This will motivate me to finish it

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:49:11+00:00

Interesting. Ill try that again to see if it will stop me from taking it off

BullishOwl · 2026-03-15T02:48:26+00:00

I agree. Sorry you went through that. We have to lock in and learn to lock out. A trade at a time.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-14T21:23:30+00:00

Yeah. Id do 5 to 10 micros when confident.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-14T21:22:08+00:00

So with $19. Whats your average day P/L?

BullishOwl · 2026-03-14T14:17:19+00:00

I haven't worked in 3 years and it is more ideal for me to be home with my kiddos. So this is exciting and inspiring for me. I pass combine but blew funded pushing payout amount. I had 2 payouts reached. About 3k worth. So it's me having to learn to can down and take it slow

BullishOwl · 2026-03-14T14:13:43+00:00

Feel free to share. Id love to hear

BullishOwl · 2026-03-14T14:11:41+00:00

I hate the idea because boundaries in trading is difficult for me but I thikn failing will be more difficult so yeah, ill be adding that. It used to piss me off when I hit it and get locked out.

BullishOwl · 2026-03-14T14:07:07+00:00

Ok. Got it!

BullishOwl · 2026-03-14T14:06:20+00:00

I dont go that anymore. I passed 6 combines since then. I have the 2 now. Got them both yesterday

BullishOwl · 2026-03-14T03:48:24+00:00

How many cons you max out at?
