    if i may make a suggestion, have a daily stop loss amount. You may be thinking that might turn some of the winning days into losing days but i betcha you would be overall up for the month since you would not have that big losing day.

    Hi, yes I agree.
    I thought of looking for a platform that can program trading limits in it but at the end of day a trader needs to do this for himself.
    Controlling oneself "in the moment" is challenging.
    Just to add, " Never get married to your position no matter how good you think it is" ...

    Yes I understand, however I don't have any problems seeing others do well. For me this does not effect my P/L.
    Giving back is breaking rules and not controlling emotions, not watching others P/L. Sorry to share this with you. So a better question for you is did you make money in June yes or no ?

  9. Every trader is different, if you are comfortable watching guys making 30k a day and posting that's your problem ..I am focusing on myself only since I do that I am successful.
