    How do we fight Greed?

    If your plan is to scale out, you could take some off at profit and let the rest go to either a target or have a mental or real stop that you move up once the stock reaches a certain level. Have more of a defined stop and target. For example, instead of letting a trade keep going against...

    Thanks for saying I stepped up. The difference between edge and skill, is my edge was fine, but my skill level has been a little poor early on. Today, I was in the zone. 22P positive. 1st day my 45 trade worked, but I guess you just need to keep certain setups in mind in case they ever show...
