Just a Day Trader

 I have got to slow down. I am destroying my account by day trading everything, adding to fast, not knowing actual risk, not respecting my actual risk, not letting stocks work, not taking wins off for wins and letting them run all the way to -1R and then some. Really bad trading lately. I am gambling and its not ok. Its not who ive been as a trader and it needs to stop. I need flow charts of if then statements going all the way back to basics.  I am WAY caught up in momentum trading, risking like it and taking huge hits not letting stock work itself out.

Im back in that spot where my best wins are off of low risk. Sometimes thats just how it is, sometimes its me not calculating my risk fast enough or correctly.   Looking at my losers and big wins, some things the big wins all have in common: -Good option volume + spread -Good High stock volume -High...
