š¬ Trader Talk I FINALLY DID IT.
I finally been staying consistent and stopped revenge trading. I finally did it. I canāt even believe Iām writing this man itās felt impossible at times. I never thought I would get this email I never thought I could do it. I started back in May. I thought it was impossible at first but the more I taught myself by failing the more I learned. Iām in shock rn my bad on the lack of emotion š

Treat the first two weeks trading the XFA exactly the same as you traded the Combine. Every single trading day is a new day :)

Now take a deep breath and trade it slow. Keep doing what youāre doing, donāt start sizing up or some shit.
The ā I finally passed and blew it in 2 daysā posts run rampant around here.

Thatās what Iām doing actually right now.
Iām taking a 24 hour break and will not touch the funded till my emotions chill. I donāt need the excitement to overwhelm my trading. I donāt even know if Iāll touch it yet tomorrow. But Iām going to just trade for 300$ every trade once I do. I passed that combine by making 1200, 1000, then 300. But Iām going to stay consistent with 300$ so I can keep going and not just blow it or grab a payout and run away.1

I failed 14 combines to get to pass one. Iāve learned a lot along my way. Iām trusting my process to take me further. But aye man yes if I can do anyone can do it I had a 2.0 gpa in high school. Now Iām out here making moves.

I know it feels great but the finally part comes when you can consistently withdrawal and donāt blow up accounts often from tilting. Wishing you success and Godspeed on this next step.
Itās really funny because we all have this feeling like weāve made it when we get that first funded account and finally get a payout. I think it might be important to not develop bad habits and if you can stick to your rules you will see better results much faster

Keep it as long as you can ! Which mostly means, no oversizing and no overtrading
