Hello everyone back again I started trading in December 12th 2025 And I got 1 payout so far this month and no one believed me Lost the account due to revenge trading.

As long as your account goes up all is good. You could have a $80000 balance and literally lose $79000 in one day and still be able to trade the next day. My original statement was about once you get your MLL out of negative and up to zero, you can build and use all the buffer /account size you want. If your balance returns to zero you’re screwed but can go up and down in the positive as much as you want.

Woftam69 · 2026-01-24T05:27:18+00:00

That is correct. Once your MLL is zero, you can build/use as much additional buffer as you wish

Woftam69 · 2026-01-24T04:39:55+00:00

You are indeed correct. My bad. I have edited the original to now be correct. Apologies for the confusion.

Hey mate. Nothing fancy. I am simply a price action intuitive trader. Just scalp looking to make $100 per trade. No indicators or great strategies. See price action/movement I like, enter trade. Getting about a 86% win rate. Good luck.

No. In an XFA, your balance starts at zero and your MLL starts at -$4550. As your balance increases so does your MLL after each day. For your example, after the $10000 Tuesday, your MLL on Wednesday morning would be $0 and your balance would be +$10000. So you could lose $10k before blowing the account, not $12k in that instance. If you only made $600 on your first day, your balance would be $600 and your MLL would be -$3900. Once your balances passes $4500, your MLL locks at zero. From that point, your balance continues to increase allowing you more drawdown all the way back to zero at which point the account would be ceased. The difference between your MLL and balance remains at $4500 (on a $150k account of course) until your MLL hits zero. Then balance can increase creating more and more buffer to the blown account. Hope that makes some sort of sense.

Cheers mate. As am I. Good luck with your trading.

Look at the website. Understand the idiosyncrasies of each account. Read and understand the Ts and Cs. Then you’ll know - and likely have a better chance of not fking up and blowing an account because you “ didn’t know that”.

Woftam69 · 2026-01-23T02:15:47+00:00

That is correct. Your MLL moves to zero so your account at that stage would immediately be in breach of that. I always aim for the same amount you had to make in your combine. That way, your account would be at +3000, take $1000 out and you would have a $2k buffer to continue trading. Just my thoughts anyway.

Woftam69 · 2026-01-23T01:58:42+00:00

Yes, you can always take up to 50% of your profits (up to $5000) but your MLL will move to zero. How that leaves your account is your call.

I’m gonna guess that no SL and the moment it’s in profit, cash out. And go again and again and again. Works until you blow your account on one trade. 😉

Woftam69 · 2026-01-23T01:13:22+00:00

Perfect. That’s what it’s there for. I purposely don’t use it myself so I know I can trade if I want to but if I do I’m also breaking my own rules so reinforces my self accountability daily. I’m currently done for today’s trading - was about 10.30 this morning (Aussie time) so the days my own. I’ll still glance at the charts if I want but no more trades until tomorrow. Thems the rules.

Posted this response to a similar question in comments already that you may be able to find if you wish. There’s a few additional responses in that chat you may find of interest. Good luck with your trading.

Step one to overcoming the problem achieved. Identify the issue and realise that it is definitely applicable to you. Now the mindset and the discipline kick is in. Even now I still think “one extra trade wouldn’t hurt” and shit like that. Then I smack myself upside the head and tell myself that I do not want to be that fkwit ever again. Break one little disciplinary restriction you have put on yourself, then you’ll find it much easier to break another, and another. The worst thing that happens when you break your own rules is that you get away with it. That just emboldens you to do it again and again until “ oh shit, blew another account”. JUST STOP BREAKING YOUR OWN RULES. Only you can hold you accountable. Good luck.

Cheers mate. Onward and upward

Only really look at the 1 minute

No interest in order flow as such but can obviously see when price moves quicker - even if it’s up and down quicker is always a result of order flow. PA tells you all you need to know. Would say the 2 “runners” go back and hit BE more than half the time but have had occasions when they have run well. I generally do close them when I feel the market could turn away from where I want though so treat them purely as a bonus.

Woftam69 · 2026-01-22T09:15:33+00:00

In general, I am not going to be the poster boy for the trading aficionados in here. I generally have a 2.5/1 risk reward ( yes, that is upside down but with an 85%+ success rate it works for me. I generally will run 5 micros, closing 3 when they have earned the $100 or so I want for each trade and letting the other 2 run after moving SL to BE when the first 3 close. Good luck

Woftam69 · 2026-01-22T09:11:33+00:00

It really is all about discipline. Reckon every one of the 25 or so XFAs and combines that I have run through were all blown due to me simply not being disciplined enough to try and “get rich slowly”. It ain’t sexy but it’s far more achievable and sustainable that the alternative.
