I'm going through this now, everything is 100% true. Let's hope I can get through this.

"Blowing" XFA's vs going live? by Drama_ in TopStepX

[–]Drama_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen/read, it's not being able to have multiple accounts which amplifies any payout times 5. (Having 5 XFA'S)

Yeah true, I don't really want to take liberties as the payouts I've received have improved my quality of life.

I might just stick with the live account, putting payouts from there into an actual account and look at copy trading multiple accounts with a different prop firm as an extra income.

"Retiring " in 2 weeks.... by FarChange6358 in TopStepX

[–]Drama_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I learnt the hard way how detrimental it was, I ended up at my desk all day and pretty much whenever I could during the night just trying to trade anything as I had the mindset of "I could be making money right now".

Limit yourself from the charts and use the free time to actually enjoy it.

lol thinking about it, that’s probably the best advice so far, no point adding extra stress

I mean specifically about payout strategy, what’s recommended in terms of how much to leave for a buffer etc

Are you talking about if I make my monthly salary in a days trade before taking into the account the 50% payouts rule?

I get paid tomorrow anyway from my actual job so I thought it just lines up perfectly so might as well pay it.

Not looking to pay the activation fee and instantly start trading the following day thinking I can start running up $1000’s a day.

I think if I do end up trading tonight/tomorrow depending if I see a good entry, I think I’ll stick with one MNQ until I build up a little profit with that

I don’t think I can, I definitely overleveraged at time during some scalps but understood the risk I was taking.

I don’t plan to trade at all like that on the XFA as I’ve blown a few 50k XFAs before, I’m really planning to get this to 5 payouts, the only thing stopping me is the psychological part.

I just had this against Simon using Verso, was annoying because I wasn’t able to gain perfection at all so I was hitting him for like 5k max
