Greed: 1 Discipline: O I had a $1,666 profit but wanted more, so I added at the top of the move, sat there watching the profit totally disappear, and then held and hoped for two-and-a-half days until the calls expired worthless. Shameful - I know better.

Hello! You are spot on - hope overrode common sense and discipline. It started with greed - thinking a solid profit wasn't good enough and the market owed me more...absurd! I may have to use hard stops - do you use them?
