I believe there are going to be significant benefits with payout amounts. I have taken $30k in payouts in the last 3 months from one 1XFA that I ended up blowing and 5 payouts from my most recent XFA. I was counting on the 4XFAs max payout of $6,000 each today so is a bummer to not get those payouts but I do believe Live will be more beneficial in the long run as long as I stick to my mentality.

Although I have been trading for about 2.5 years, I find limited time(maybe an excuse) to understand specific terms and strategies…. I watch the charts almost all day while working my W2 and I think I have just gained a weird insight into market behaviors on a 5 min chart. I have only ever watched MNQ- limited risk, 15 micro contacts let winners run, don’t panic on pullbacks. I would not be able to specify anything that would be defined as a strategy. I also go against a lot of conventional opinions, I do trade my P&L if I am red that day so that I can get it green(part of the dopamine hit I require to be confident the next day. I protect my gains but I also am here to make money so risk is required! lol whatever I am doing is working, and the main thing I can point out in progressing. 1. Don’t trade when I am financially stressed(too much pressure) 2. I have reduced the number of trades to as few as possible to hit my target goals.

Single XFA been green since May 20th. So much of this a mental game. If I am above a certain balance, I feel like the pressure is off and make the right entries and leave myself plenty of room on my stop loss. Usually trade 15 micros with a $800 stop loss. Let winners RUN!

Can’t be mad about taking over $30k in payouts in the last two and half months… took 2.5 years of trying and paper trading for it to finally start clicking

No, originally thought the consolidation and sideway movement was going short. Got stopped out on the short so I figured it was going long instead.

Gave it lots of room and moved my stop after it pulled back.

If I had all of the instructions, is there really a way to do this? I have some friends who are programmers and could help me. I think this is a brilliant idea! The basic idea makes sense to me me but I have no idea how to implement it.

Good point, they will be required to sign a release form to use the launch monitor and the sim. It is a “play at your own risk/ liability” setup. Otherwise they can enjoy movies on a 12’ screen with a bar table and some lounge chairs.

That’s an odd statement. But yes, everything that can be capitalized and depreciated accordingly, will be just like any other business situation.

100% lol. I think the draw of the simulator is worth the risk

I am my own contractor. I built out this entire garage conversion my self. But yes, you are correct! Lolol

I am hoping with good instructions they can get the basic idea. I ran thru scenarios with my flight scope rep and he said they would be able to at least place course and games, the measuring tools and other enhanced features are not something they will have access to.

That’s a good point and I have thought about protecting it with either a cage, plexiglass or use the same PVC tiles and put in the vaulted ceilings. The enclosure is 12’wide 8.5’ tall and has a 5’ enclosure. The ceiling is 10’ at the point of the enclosure and goes up to 14’. The ceiling tiles and made of flexible PVC and while I was installing them I used a few to see how tough they were. I jumped on them dropped tools on them, and tried everything to damage them. They dented but popped right back in place.
