Follow your rules, because most people's so-called "intuition" and "gut hunches" suck to high heaven. Something I remember well from my long gone days of day trading tech stocks, back in the late 1990's. When I followed the rules I pretty steadily would net $500-$800 a week on cruise control. I remember "taking a flyer" once, and it resulted in a nasty margin call that ended up costing $3K out-of-pocket.

I don't really have the stomach for it, anymore... almost exclusively long-term, these days.
