Used to save up for the count, now I just size smaller
Used to be my whole plan was hoarding cash until I hit the magic number so I could flip intraday without tripping the day trade count. Spent most of last year babysitting a balance instead of trading it! Two entries a week, then sitting on my hands like a chump because I'd used my flips up by Tuesday.
Now the count thing is done with and that guide on the old minimum going away made me realise I'd built my entire routine around a rule that doesn't exist anymore. So I trade the same setups, just smaller size and I take the fill when it's there. Spread eats more of a small account than I wanted to admit though, and the piece was pretty blunt about that part.
