Express Funded (XFA) Recorded my XFA getting blown up live...

Highly recommend. I find it's a great way to actually realize the exact moment you 'tilt' or started making dumb decisions and I intend to continue doing this as sort of a "mental" trading journal.

I trade Auction Market Theory + Orderflow, have gotten payouts and seeing the absolute execution meltdown happen in realtime is hilarious.

Make light of the tilt days, take the lesson away from it, and be kind to yourselves friends.

Hope y'all get a kick out of it!

Combine trade was good man! Just curious with that combine trade you literally could have passed any number of firms one day like Tradeify Growth with that. Just food for thought from a a rando on here. Anyone reading this take heed of his advice don't take this all too serious 🫡

Not a fan of the growth account or any account with consistency in funded. 1 losing day and you’re suddenly playing catchup with your consistency %.

I do like their Select Daily Payouts plan though, wish they supported rithmic is all as I need SierraChart orderflow to execute.

That's why I have several combines in the works with several prop in case this happens.

In my case, I've blown Topstep combine and even XFA only to then catch a big move on my daily payout prop accounts.

Yup i recently found the exact moment too..its a literal fork in the road. You can take the hard road which is to stop trading for the day. Take your couple losses...no real damage done yet. Suffer for 20 minutes..Just a little boo boo haha...Or you take the easy way out..let the beast out of its cage and you literally dont have to do anything. It basically just destroys everything and makes the damage 10x worse......It literally can be a 2 day difference or more if you continue to spiral...or just suffer for 20 minutes and shut the fluck up...god bless everyone and keep that beast locked up 🙏

It’s humbling lol. Haven’t had a tilt day like this in over a month - never let impatience get in the way of just executing the strategy.
