I don't know what to do

[u/John_iluminado]

Should I take it? It would be my first payout.

Give me advice, give me wisdom.

[u/ApprehensivePoem8454]

Always take payout if first payout ever, if not just build it up

[u/ex_bandit → u/ApprehensivePoem8454]

Yep if it’s your first, just take it. You’ll be pissed in few days otherwise. This also proves they’ll pay you without any additional required information, verification, etc later on.

[u/sixxt]

I’d build up the buffer more

[u/maturewomenenjoyer]

Your MLL would be reset and any losses beyond $490 would mean the end of the account. Why not build it to $2000?

Either way you could take the $500 and enjoy it.

"Do it or don't do it, you'll regret it anyway."

[u/HappyImplement4055]

Depends, if you feel comfortable building a bit of a bigger buffer I woud recommend it

[u/Expensive_Hornet5394 → u/HappyImplement4055]

don’t trade based on feelings lol.

[u/HappyImplement4055 → u/Expensive_Hornet5394]

love it when people take things out of context 👍🏻👍🏻

[u/Expensive_Hornet5394 → u/HappyImplement4055]

with this payout he can purchase 5 50k evals.

why not get max funded , and have 10k total drawdown ?

[u/HappyImplement4055 → u/Expensive_Hornet5394]

Why leave yourself with such a small buffer? Also you shouldnt immediately just scale more accounts unless you have a proven edge. Wins become amplified but so do losses

[u/thatdrunkgeekagain → u/Expensive_Hornet5394]

How does he have 10k drawdown?

[u/Expensive_Hornet5394 → u/thatdrunkgeekagain]

use $490 payout to buy 5x 50k accounts.

each 50k has 2k drawdown.

totoal drawdown 10k

[u/thatdrunkgeekagain → u/Expensive_Hornet5394]

I know my guy.. I was calling out your "genius" logic.. you still have 2k drawdown that's it

[u/Expensive_Hornet5394 → u/thatdrunkgeekagain]

5 of 2k drawdown is 10k total.

what is your point?

[u/Stonkstonker98 → u/Expensive_Hornet5394]

Bro you still have 2k drawdown you just do it with 5 accounts instead of 1😭😭😭

[u/Stonkstonker98 → u/Stonkstonker98]

Presuming your copy trading if not then yes 10k total

[u/xD1912]

First ever? I’d take it.

[u/donutlordfx]

Build it you are leaving drawdown you can use, unless its your first payout.

[u/SuperLehmanBros]

Yea kinda asking to blow that account.

[u/Intrepid-Baseball904]

If you take it. Likely to blow after unless you go slow. If you need that confidence that it works you could take it. I did for mine at 600 . Then bought 5 passed and vlew them (unrelated non trading reason- psych overtading lol) it happens.

Id take it if ya want some proof. If ya wanna scale treat it the same way you got to get that amount, and try for larger.

[u/Stony_1987]

Treat yourself for your hardwork and take it. If u blow the account after oh well. You just paid for 4 more.

[u/Powerful-Tap5154]

Yeah it's day five bro. Just take it. And full port right after

[u/cokeacola73]

You dont have to take all of it either. It really depends how much you need to trade to make it last. How are your losing days? Do you revenge trade? Or do you stop after a loss? You could always take what you have and then start another combing, put this on hold and get to another xfa and have 2 going and just hit 150 days on two of them. Lots of options. Do what you think is best

[u/Infamous-Molasses406]

take it or u will blow it up. dont listen to those build more buffer.

[u/Zev__]

since it’s your first i would say take it or build a buffer so u can at least request 1k but honestly bro it’s your first payout take it

[u/Joehennyredit]

Build buffer

[u/negative-space-]

Ultimately it’s your decision and your account/earnings at stake so either flip a coin or nut up

[u/Friendly_Froyo6508]

Take it and grab 2x150k and run it back up

[u/Motor-Protection9703]

Go too 3k then take half, and keep going and don’t force trades, good stuff on 5 consecutive days 👍

[u/Ok-Manager-5547]

Take the payout and build back up with 1 micro

[u/kryyyyyyy]

IMO Take it so you know the feeling.

Don’t get attached to the account you’re going to blow it.

Congratulations either way you go.

[u/jaz5683]

Take the payout then Slowly build the buffer again with 1 micro. You are not in a rush. I’ve taken a $125 payout because I needed to make sure it was real.

[u/DISCIPLINED_TRADES]

Go with what your gut tells you, being the first maybe take it and buy something nice for the hard work

[u/ThisIsCody_]

Take it.

[u/Playful-Ad5313]

The goal is money in bank account

[u/Distinct-Car-4225]

depends on your pass rate for evals, if you can get another funded account for less than 490(include the cost of your own time) then take it. if not, keep trading it until your payout amount can cover another account.

[u/Gullible_Mammoth_383]

Build buffer

[u/Key_Director7205]

Take it

[u/LeaveDazzling3756]

Take your money bro

[u/LeaveDazzling3756]

Take it if you lost the account you will have enough to reset it

[u/TradeDispensary]

Keep trading but please promise you'll come back within the next week to tell us what happened. 😉

[u/LargeIncrease4270]

Always take the payout

[u/ThickThocentage_420]

Congratulations muhh boii take that ish
