Facing early profits but while still shy of a daily profit goal can be a quandary, especially on Friday, and especially on the Friday before Christmas with a last minute package to get in the Post. Should you take the next trade..? or close out the cash register and call it a frame. Today, I left two of the best trades of the frame on the table rather than risking those early profits that were a little harder won. At some point, the goal of consistency can actually impede the goal of larger daily goals. You get comfortable...and comfort is the enemy of trading. I'll think about this later.... on the way to the Post.
