Learning patience, pay less vig, make more money.

Yes, but not for options or futures. I pay no commission for ETFs or stocks.

Robinhood is free for options, no?

I am not sure, I am too old for Robinhood.

I just opened an account at Robinhood because they give you one share, instead of TSLA I got a penny stock, COTY. and yes they do not charge a commission on options. I likely will NOT FUND my account.

I have figured out that if I place a trade and stop, it is better just walk away from my screen and do something else. It has been confirmed for me in stocks and futures. Intent gazing at the screen is not good for your pocketbook. If I scalp of course this is not valid, but I am trying to move away from scalping as my commissions are way up.

This is since June.
So I go on a bike ride with my wife (who works from home) and when I go back either I am stopped out or I made some money...

EDIT; I play the micro e-mini and my commission is way too much for scalping. I know places where micro futures commission is .09 cents, sadly not with TDAmeritrade! I like the ToS too much to switch.

I have similar mind management.

While waiting for the signal, I will concentrate and be on full alert.

After entering a trade, I will set SL & TP, and then reduce the concentration level and perhaps go away from my trading desk.

But then, humans are humans. We don't follow our trade plan all the time.
