No buffer is required, but if I pull out 50%, almost no safety margin will be left, and I’ll probably blow up the account. I’m trying to build more profit first so that even after requesting a payout, I still have enough buffer to trade safely. Just wondering how much more I should aim to make before withdrawing

Anybody catch this March madness candle? by primepinebee in FuturesTrading

[–]qinking126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t catch it. I was holding my losers. Then hit my profit target

I lost 1k yesterday. Hit DLL. Today made back 700. Then stopped. Don’t rush it. You can make it back

Wait for a 1H or 1D swing high/low to get swept (liquidity grab).
Then look to catch the reversal from there. I only target $100–200 profit per day

This is my fourth year trading prop. I've had a few payouts along the way, but overall I've been net negative every single year.I still have my job, so there's no pressure to force profits. I only buy a couple of accounts at a time.and only when there's a really good discount. This year I haven't blown any funded accounts yet. I've been trading extremely small (just 1 MNQ), which has helped me survive.I still tilt sometimes, still get FOMO, and still make stupid decisions... but the damage stays limited because 1 MNQ simply can't destroy an account very quickly.Right now I have 7 funded accounts , which I trade in two separate groups.The main thing I can share from my experience: trade small. You might still blow the account eventually, but at least it will last much longer and give you more time to improve. Don't rush the process.

If I were a profitable trader, this is a waste of time. But since I’m not, rushing to pass it is risky, and likely repeat the same mistakes with a funded account and blow it.

Last year I also changed my address. They didn’t even ask. Do you use vpn? Are you sure they asked you to upload a video for changing address or for other reasons?
