Over-trading is a disgusting disease. It takes over your head usually when you find yourself trying to recoup a loss, and believe you see the same buy or sell opportunity repeat itself in succession, but only to stop out repeatedly as the market fails to produce the expected result. And to add to it, I already had a days profit goal as the 1st Frame came to an end. I made the mistake of taking one more trade because I thought I understood it. It was cocky. Then I took another to try to make back the loss when that one extra trade failed, but that trade failed too. I gave back all my profits before I finally found a winner, recouping just about half the day. Pyrrhic victories leave little satisfaction and usually less compensation. Quit when you've reached your goal, especially if it's at the end of the Frame your Trade Plan is limited to.
