I don't have a daily goal, I try to start the day with no expectations (though lately I cannot avoid having a bearish bias that is depriving me of good setups). I can make many, few or no trades and I don't stop just because I'm ahead or I've reached an X amount. I do have a maximum daily loss, just to avoid going on tilt, and if I'm too tired, bored or sleepy I'll take a break or stop for the day.
Not true Izzy! The bottom as it stands at the moment was 23 March. You called a bottom on: Jan 30, 26 Feb, 5 Mar, 17 Mar, 18 Mar, 18 Mar again, 19 Mar, 19 Mar again, 20 Mar, 21 Mar, 21 Mar again, 22 Mar. And on the 23 March you did not call that day a bottom. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/search/10672376/?q=Bottom&t=post&o=date&c[user][0]=45994&c[thread]=328086
Lol. I'll say it one more time nobody can predict the mkt . How many people saw an 1100 pt upday today? ZERO.
