There should be a limit to the number of trades you take per frame. Today, in the first frame, I far exceeded my 10 trade max. When the volatility appears, it draws you in....too often like the proverbial moth to flame. Today, the bounces were big enough at supports and Sequents to accommodate my video gaming impulses....but such capitulation to such behavior usually ends badly. Have goals in all aspects of trade management. a max loss per day or frame, a profit goal to help curb over-trading, a maximum losing trades in a row (with full stop-loss stop-outs), and a maximum number of total trades. You cannot control the market. You can only control yourself.
