Do you yell at the chart?

I sometimes find myself cursing like a sailor at the chart, "come on you rat bastard, go go go" etc. (only use your imagination for some more colorful language).

I just caught myself doing this, and decided to post about it. It's not that the trade is bad, the trade is in fact going well. I'm just excited for my next target to be hit where I scale out

Mike

nice question big mike.at the beggining i did that often.
now i am more relaxed and when the trade goes against me i just walk away for a few
minutes and then return to the screen.no bad language because my little daughter
is hearing...

I don't get excited when the chart goes against me. That doesn't bother me. I was talking about when I am close to hitting targets, I start getting vocal

oh..sorry for the misunderstanding...i do that from time to time when i am close.
but to cut my suspense many times when i am close to the target i have placed,
i am closing the contract a little early to take the profits.
more yelling is taking place when i am in a bad contract and not the opposite.

I cuss like a drunken sailor when my stop is hit to the tick and then the market turns around and blows right through where my target was
