Re: Scalper Daily Target

I realized I'm a scalper, and changed my trading plan to adapt and I'm doing much better.

Now I do have a question, what about days like today? Normally I would take 20 YM pts and be done, but today I'm up nearly 40 YM. Setups keep coming up and I keep taking them, I felt a bit of greed when I noticed I wanted more so I left the desk for 30 minutes. But if the market is willing to give me 40, why not take it? I understand that that gives me the opportunity to lose more, but I still think there are only a few days a month where you can make good money and you should take full advantage of those days.

I'm just curious as to what your feedback on that is.
