TSBTV#39 - When to Quit
Posted on: March 23, 2009
Hopefully by now you know your “uncle point” when it comes to ending a bad day of trading. Perhaps that’s after a certain number of losing trades, or after having lost a predetermined percentage of your equity. Maybe you just use a plain old dollar amount as your max loss. Good for you.
But what about on the profitable side? When do you decide it’s time to Take the Money & Run?
If you’re a day trader, often times you’ll notice that just a couple of days per month can mean the difference between a good month and a great month. And on a day like today when the market moved so much, quitting early can be costly - in terms of opportunity.
So here in Episode 39, we’ll talk about a few things related to this topic and discuss how to allow yourself to benefit from some continued good price action while still making sure you book a solid day.
