What the people who get paid do

• Risk far less than the rules allow

  If the daily limit is 5%, they risk 1% or less.

• Trade one product and one setup

  A single futures contract or currency pair they know well.

• Avoid news spikes

  Many accounts fail in the minutes after a big economic report.

• Withdraw early and often

  A payout in hand is safe. Profit sitting in an account is not.

• Check the firm's history

  Years in business and a record of paying, not just a big discount.
