Earlier this morning, I played these two:
Scalped $SPY tomorrow's 400 from 3.36 to 4.02, ~19% gain.
Before that, shortly after open, quick scalp of the same strike/exp. from 3.45 to 3.62, ~4% gain.
Peeps gonna say profit is profit and they are right, and I say the same thing, but I have a habit of getting out too early, consistently. This is something I've known for a long time I have to work on. I don't think it's in the charts. It's more of an emotional issue and watching each tick (as I mentioned yesterday). Once I see the pps go the opposite way, even for one or two ticks, I shake myself out. If this is clear to me, why can't I correct it?
