What an inventive solution. I hope you have an alarm that goes off 10 minutes before this to remind you to close your positions. I traded with Cyber for a while and their "feature" of shutting down their app whenever there was an Internet hiccup would drive me bonkers. When I scalped, I found I took a lot of losses around lunch so I forced myself to get up and take a walk for an hour around noon Eastern. Clears the head, prevents losses, and still let me trade in the afternoon (which can be very profitable). Luck, Tyro. Haha! What an inventive solution.

Having rules does not mean discipline in itself, however following them does. Sounds like a great edge. Having rules does not mean discipline in itself, however following them does.
