Everything is semantics. A target or goal is different from a requirement. Sounds like you use a goal, whereas the original commenter was maybe referring to a requirement: Don’t quit trading until the goal is reached (which could force more and more bad trades), and do quit trading when the goal IS reached (missing out on more and more unrealized profitable trades).
Since the market directions don’t align just with the timeframe of each “day”, then I tend think it’s more effective as:
“If your trades are working, then keep going. If they are not, then stop until the market changes and you can regroup, recenter, and trade better again.”
100% agree! On EVERYTHING you said!
