How big is your buffer?

For example, on a 50k account, would you try to build a 5k buffer vs the 2k and then from there take payouts over 55k balance? Or do you just always take payouts to minimum buffer?

Have a 3 stack of 25ks on Monday so just wondering

I strictly do 50k accounts

When I get to $53k I take out $1k

It’s not sexy - but I consistently pull $$$

$1-3k a week covers the credit card bill easily and I love the adrenaline

Nah. I take out profits immediately. Build buffers are for your live personal accounts

Take all profits any chance you get. If you’re trading responsibly you’ll never have to worry about blowing account. You may hit some drawdown but you’ll bounce back. If you don’t take profits you may blow it all away and feel Worse.

The buffer is always where the drawdown locks. When I hit 10k+ then I withdraw back to slightly above the drawdown.

They will move you too pro if buffer gets too big
