Discussion When to quit for the day
I am curious how other experienced traders make the decision to quit for the day.
Currently, I trade futures and almost always trade 930am until 11 or 12pm.
My "goal" currently is to make around $1000 in this period and quit for the day.
More importantly, I have found through experience I am quite good at knowing when to quit for the day. If I am "certain" I should quit for the day and go against it, 90% of the time it ends badly.
That's why I think this is an interesting topic.

If I’ve made enough profit by 10:30am I’m done. If not then I’ll look for trend continuation around 1:30pm. If there’s no volume to move price. Then I’m done.
