Broke a major rule today while trading this afternoon.

Did this trade alone, btw, we were done trading @ 11:00AM for major profit.

Was up way over my quota for the day. Closed my platform as usual.

Kept an eye on STRA after booked solid profits on it.
Got back in the pullback, sat a lil longer, bot a lil more, ended up being a bad trade for me and basically gave back my daily profits and a tad more in 1 trade.

LEAN FROM THIS LESSON. When you are done for the day, you are DONE for the day.
Boredom and/or greed are not good enough reasons to get back when you told yourself you were done.

Very disappointed with how I broke my #1 rule.
The human mind is human, no matter how robotic you try to make it, no excuse for my mistake, none.
The silver lining is I made sure all my traders closed green this morning.
Tomorrow is another day.

Be back later.
