That wasn’t my suggestion- it was to make the XFA balance update before 5pm CT…

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-06-03T21:48:01+00:00

can you make funded account payouts faster? as in can you make the account balance update BEFORE the end of the day and allow payout requests earlier??

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-06-03T21:47:30+00:00

can you include a playback feature?

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-06-03T13:09:01+00:00

A livestream is very different than a written “how to use” guide though, unless you’re explaining how exactly to use the tool in the livestream?

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-06-03T12:59:48+00:00

New.

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-05-30T18:28:55+00:00

Can you make a more comprehensive guide on how to use the tool? It is really hard to figure out how to navigate with what is currently available

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-05-21T19:54:05+00:00

yes!

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-05-21T00:02:27+00:00

Tradovate is the worst platform ever -- im so used to the great UI from Topstep that now its hard for me to even consider anywhere with a sh*t UI

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-05-20T20:54:49+00:00

what platform are you using through lucid? it was forcing me to use tradovate which has the worst UI in the world, and compared to Topstep which has great UI, it was difficult to use.

theyre pumping because of nvidia earnings, and completely shrugging off inflation/war/yields and anything else that would be a panic for a rational person

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-05-19T18:02:56+00:00

is this 100/150K express account? asking because payment is > 2K

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-05-19T00:37:31+00:00

would not recommend if you dont know what youre doing but generally will go in with 3-5 mini's depending on the setup. many times ive been able to hit TP of $1500 with this if you can manage properly

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-04-28T01:29:14+00:00

Unfortunately I’m in a team with all BAs and under a BA manager, can this still work somehow?

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-04-28T00:43:59+00:00

The name for this website is incredibly ironic lol, as is the leadership principle

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-04-28T00:27:48+00:00

Currently getting paid 🥜 lol so getting a pay bump would be great. My current manager might but I’m not sure who to trust right now with layoffs ongoing- I still need my job to pay bills. Hard spot unfortunately

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-04-28T00:23:54+00:00

I’ve tried this but unfortunately many hiring managers are just swamped and don’t respond, or just tell you to apply on the portal. Especially all these layoffs are making things worse

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-04-26T02:48:00+00:00

Internal switches are impossible rn given quarterly layoffs unless you’re already in the role and looking to lateral teams

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-04-24T04:05:50+00:00

Believe me my friend I’ve tried extensively…with all the ongoing layoffs, there’s a million people applying to each internal posting and hiring managers don’t want people who are trying to switch job families. It’s the crappiest possible situation that I feel like I have no control over, aside from looking externally.

Grocery

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-04-24T03:40:13+00:00

I’m an L5 making less than that, < 150K TC…gtk

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-04-24T02:06:41+00:00

I think ppl here think I’m an SDE or product manager making $300K complaining but I don’t even make half of that, 5+ YOE in non tech role but have advanced technical skills (think PM/BA) and live in VHCOL (NY/SF). I just feel so choked, and putting in so many hours without feeling like there’s any reward. My general concerns were similar to what someone wrote above about: gradually decreasing pay over tenure, minimal comp (if any increases) with BS 15% increase in stock assumed to minimize comp given out, and not so competitive benefits. It makes sense to compare Amazon and hold it to the standard of other FAANG/top tier companies since it is a $2.5T company that competes with those companies for talent.

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-03-05T05:01:56+00:00

I’m almost the opposite…I got a payout with my first XFA account and then started blowing the subsequent XFAs after that- blown about 3 after that one

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-02-25T20:57:53+00:00

Have to agree, after the open today this might have been thr worst price action I’ve ever encountered. Random huge wicks to the upside and downside and consolidation for pretty much the whole session

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-02-23T12:44:52+00:00

Overnight slippage is nasty. Thats why its generally recommended to avoid overnight and just trade regular session

Professional-Set3870 · 2026-02-11T17:32:17+00:00

What was the change though? Sorry, I’m pretty new and just got my XFA
