I Am An A$$

I totally agree with Flashboy.... and also, congratulate yourself, you're up 40 for the day.

Quote from brad1970:

Captured 100 pips in the USD/JPY early morning and instead of shutting down for the day, tried playing with my new found $$.

Wound up giving back 60 pips..

Just couldn't shut down so early in the day after doubling my daily price target.

If giving back too much is a recurring problem after big winners try taking a break after the winner and then if you choose to trade again give yourself a maximum allowable drawdown--maybe 25%.
