DTers Aftermarket Lounge - 29 Nov, page-25

I try to think more about whether I followed my plan and traded well rather than how much I made. I don't mind having a small losing day if I traded well (eg. got out of a few bad trades quickly). I don't like it if I made a few hundred dollars because I fluked it and didn't trade to plan (eg. didn't get out when the trade was going against me and fluked a spike to get out with profit) <- very rarely happens. For a cash goal, better to have a longer term one like monthly or quarterly. There is nothing wrong with going a couple of days without trading. Better than forcing a trade where the odds are against you. Saying all that, I still sometImes go against my plan and make bigger losses than I shoIld (still working on that).
