I agree and I spent a bit of time yesterday and this morning steeling myself to follow rules. I had an incredible trade in pre-market, patiently following my rules. I stuck with my rules later as well and let a 24-tick profit stop out b/e, BUT if I violated my rules and locked in 20 ticks too soon, I risked giving up another potential 60-tick or better move.

sim
long .53
stop 20 ticks
will add in/out of the money
stops at .67 and .96 to add
Target: if it breaks <i>hard</i> 91-ish, if it falters trail below the HOD
[Go get them, girl!!!
]
Add .67; avg. .60; stop at .52 (2 x 8 ticks)
[Was meaning to put this trade in the low .40's after it run a few stops on the way (down) out of that day-long upward channel, but... blah, blah, blah... ]
Of course this trade at .38 was a gift from the oil gods, but... agggghhh!!!
stop to add at .96 lowered to .72 (Yeah, baby, I'm sim-greedy)
:01 and stop to be right now at .60
:06 stopped out at be - tempted to lower the stop back to .53 but don't want to (re-)develop bad habits, even if it's sim.
If we get a slight dip I may try again... ok, stuppided out to the tick
