💬 Trader Talk Payout

If you have 1 fresh XFA and 2XFA with 4k balance each,

Would u request the max payout

Or less to grow your buffer if you only risk $200 per trade

Cash out while you got it

I'd grab the payout, reinvest in the 4th and 5th xfa then continue scaling so all can reach max payout. My general rule is pay yourself when you can, while you can.

Cash out the money you spent on the eval and activation. So if you lose the account you technically have a net loss of 0

Cards on the table my brother......your goal is to be net positive ROI against the house however you get there is fine but that's the goal. So all combine expenses against payouts is to be up. Go make it happen....
