It definitely is a pyschological thing and I do sometimes go into chase mode when I'm up big early and I start to think everything is going to work. It always comes back to following my trading plan. Discipline...
I agree. The only dilemma I run into is being up $2000, then making a few bad trades, and therefore giving back $1500 before I stop. Would using a trailing stop on your daily profit be a good idea?
Hard to find anyone in Seattle or even Washington, but I am also willing to start a small group online that can share ideas, strategies, experiences, etc. I have a site we can meet at. Similar to ET but private and small.
