Nice finger nails/hands ; but its a violation of one of the 10 commandments of gun safely=avoid all horseplay. Cant be sure 100%- that would be prediction.Good question.
 
Nice to have automation, all the emotions are out of my forgetting some nuance, but I still scalp 3 days at least per week to see if it worthy to be programmed. Scalping normally do 30-70 trades a day, a loss is forgotten instant it happens, it was same way when I stopped trading any duration, you do so many trades in over 41 years, losses are like wins, simple don't think of them, am just concerned with percentages of drawdown. And never can remember if market went up or down on the day.

I like to be 100% sure of my decision making. And when I exit a losing trade, I can't help but look back and see if I could have held longer. I also think this is a bad idea because it could affect me psycologicly. But then again I also think it could be a good idea because I could learn from it. What do you do after a losing trade?

WE lost money feeding a elephant peanuts, in the zoo; his trunk was in a trading range. But it was still fun. Amazing how that big beast loved peanuts .I remember as a little kid making sure that elephant [@zoo, too] was not going to get mad + start stomping/stampeding ..........
