30200 shares
I was surprised at my pnl because I had a lot of losers today. I did not trade well in the morning. I was scrambling and flipping through charts looking for trades. I started of with a couple of losers and I was down over $150 in the first few minutes. It is good that I covered my pnl. If I saw I was down that much it would have a big influence on my trading. I would probably be trading scared or doing revenge trading. Another thing I did right is to keep my size at 200 shares. I had quite a few hits over 30 cents because I hesitated on my exits. I was tempted to check my pnl and see how I am doing. If I did I would probably have my excuse to stop for the day. It is good that I kept trading because later on I caught two small scalps which helped me make the bulk of my profits.

it's the same with me, some bad trades will swing your concentration from other good trades away ...
i'll normally stop trading once i'm not in the mood ...
