today pissed me off

I have a post it note on my desk , actually 2 , well a whole bunch. But there are 2 of them about taking profits:

1) I will never never never turn a profit into a loss.

the other one tells me what to say and do when I see a nice profit in my account window...

2) ""Ooh that's a nice profit!" then I close at least half of the position.

generally when I feel too good about the trade and myself it 's time to start getting out

also if more than 1/3 of the profits are given back before I could take some I start getting out.
 
I feel for ya, that happens to me a lot. I get in watch it make lots of money and turn around for even or loss. I think that is the secret to trading know when to exit. At least that's what it seems like.

Pissed off? WEIGHT LIFTING IS PRETTY GOOD FOR THAT. I keep a set of dumbells near my desk. Keeping a bitch available on call helps too, I had one a few days ago but I don't know where she is now.

yep.. whenever i'm pissed off, lifting weights, going for a run, or some type of exercise usually makes me feel better.
