Re: Scalper Daily Target
Okay, I see what you're saying.

My setups kept coming up today, and I kept taking them like I would any normal day. I go for 20 YM everyday and usually hit everyday, no big deal and it works out well for me. Thats my target.

I stopped trading today because of fear of over trading. I'm up nearly 100 YM points and I think that is more than enough, I made two emotional trades then immediately quit. I guess it takes an enormous amount of discipline to stand back on a day like today if you have already hit your target. That is something I don't yet have, and something that could end up wiping out my account one day.
