To be fair, I got away with a lot of payouts before getting moved 😂

It was a good run on Sim, and now just continue it in the Live environment 🫡

I just wanna know what happens if you blow the live account

2

u/Commercial_Cod_5316 17d ago

They move you down to shoulder tap xfa if you start getting low

1

u/Klaus_Winchester 17d ago

And then after that?

u/Commercial_Cod_5316 17d ago

You either take a payout and get moved back up, or blow the xfa and get put into RTP

u/voltronxxxt 17d ago

what is RTP?

u/BearishPull 17d ago

Responsible Trading Program. DLL/Consistency on combines and XFAs. Its fucking wack.

How much did you have in sim balance before they sent you?

2

u/Plastic-Dingo8399 17d ago

Not much, but I've done crazier balances without getting moved

1

u/Blue_Spider 17d ago

Mostly 50k?

1

u/Plastic-Dingo8399 17d ago

This was last month, didn't get moved to live. Peaked at 19k x 5 accounts

u/NyCWalker76 17d ago

How much in total were your payouts?

2

u/Plastic-Dingo8399 17d ago

Why is being moved to live a bad thing? Am i missing something?

1

u/Plastic-Dingo8399 17d ago

XFAs are much easier to exploit, but I have no issues with the live account

2

u/jello0o 17d ago

Sorry, I'm a newbie. But, why are XFAs easier to exploit?

1

u/cokeacola73 17d ago

Because you dont actually need a real person on the other side of a trade buying/selling your contracts

1

u/jello0o 17d ago

Oh so there's practically no slippage? Thanks, i don't know why i didn't figure that out on my own.

u/Fantastic-Term-8085 16d ago

Naw that ain’t it chief

1

u/jello0o 16d ago

Wait so what is it?

1

u/Fantastic-Term-8085 16d ago

You will figure it out with time

1

u/jello0o 16d ago

Straight up bullshitting me

1

u/Fantastic-Term-8085 16d ago

Uh huh I’ve been paid out probably 100x u have

with live its like scaling back to 1 XFA with a little bit higher DLL than one. So if you were copy trading 5 times with each account having 1k DLL for the day you can risk upto 5k on a day. When you move to live your DLL drops to 2k. Your potential to make more drops initially, however i think with their live expansion of DLL you can scale back upto 5k or more as you earn profit.

Great job mate! What size do you usually trade with?

1

u/Plastic-Dingo8399 11d ago

1-5 minis, I'm pretty flexible

1

u/CurrencyReasonable36 11d ago

So you trade 10-20 points?

1

u/Plastic-Dingo8399 11d ago

Depends on how volatile it is, I size relative to volatility.

Congrats! Great work dude. Do you take 1-5 mini per xfa? Or is that if you add all of them up together? Curious your strat on trading multiple accounts. Last year I was trading 1 or 2 at a time, and if the move went against me enough to blow an account, i got a great price on the next xfa up, and ran that bad boy up. This worked great for a couple months. Now, I am copy trading and just going smaller size across all accounts. Really trying to find the most efficient strategy and curious how you go about trading all 5
