Yes all the trading books in my library say the same , guess its hard to take the loss when emotions say fight for it .
I did take the hit today on 4 contracts that I rolled overnight Ouch "

Went back in again long , have set trailing stops nice & wide .
Should have been scalping but to lazy to concentrate .

Cheers Bobby.
