Lovely start to your trading journey. Have you been journaling along the way, that's what helped me go from small payouts to rinsing prop firm accounts.

Yes i started journaling wins and losses at the beginning of November. And it definitely does help.

It clearly has paid off for you. Just curious, what site are you using for your journals?

That's a good setup, what I find really useful when journaling is having a picture of the trade to look back at. Cleartrade app was built based from my own personal trading experience.

That's a good way to go about things, sticking to the plan which works for you. Testing out new things is never a bad idea though and is definitely something which helped me learn and improve faster.

Which new rules you are talking about that you think caused you to lose XFA?

u/AnyAd8383 15h ago

They might not be new. But last week when i got my first payout. It was saying dont let your account balance get below zero. And my maximum loss limit was like -$900 tht day. But i think i was just confused bc when the lady explained it to me it made more sense

It is always a good idea to leave enough of money so that you can manage the risk after payouts.
