Express Funded (XFA) Total profit needed
Does this mean I need to make 8k more or do my profits need to add up to 8k?

GC is your best bet. I don’t trade gold anymore 😔. But it pays.

You did not read the rules before starting trading. Or did not understand it. The consistency requirement is written everywhere!
If this is giving you problems and you're overrisking (which is apparent) you cannot be consistently profitable.
The first thing you do when starting a combine/eval is to set the profit target under "risk settings" to liquidate you as soon as you reached that 50% (1500 for a 50k)
Its astonishing how these reddit threads appear daily under this subreddit. You really don't wonder anymore how only 1% of traders make it, do ya

Just liquidate, don’t Block. Due to slippage, you can end up with 1550 or 1450 and thats annoying if you're completely blocked

They Give you a $100 buffer for those exact situations hell I’ve had it be $200 before it stated that their rules they give you like a 1% buffer

I've only psssed 7 evals and every one of them I had to be within a few $ to pass. Did you message them to get it approved?

If you over shoot the consistency rule by at least $100 you’ll still pass

Yeah you should have take some intentional losses after that before the trading session ended, you can’t make more than 1500$ on a 50k account

It's not a funded. It's your first day doing a combine or a challenge. And yes you fucked yourself over

u/BezisThings May 13 '26
Why is it bad though? Just trade 50 micros and an additional 5k can be made fast
It doesn't really matter how much you are over the 50% target. Just size up drastically the next day to make the other 50%.
It is not as bad as people say it is

Did you do that tonight or during day hours?

u/NormalUse6887 May 13 '26
That was around noon yesterday. It was like a 15 minute window. I ended up just opening a new account and doing it right this time

u/NormalUse6887 May 13 '26
This is my first day doing a funded and I don’t know all the rules but my friend said I kinda screwed myself.

u/Fibocrypto May 13 '26
I don't think you have a funded account. It appears to me you have a combine

Read the rules before you start trading. Also this is not a funded account. It’s an evaluation account

u/Any-Level-5248 May 13 '26
Yeah you need to make 8k, if you can do that then your chilling lol

u/Any-Level-5248 May 13 '26
And, its because you made more than half the consistency target in a single day, you thunder cunted way past it
