So basically you've shifted from a weekly target to a daily target? I've also thought to try this. My weekly goal is 1%, let's say $20k, but break that down to $4k daily and it looks a lot easier, especially given that individual daily movements seem to be easier to predict than weekly or monthly - someone due, as you say, to removing the out-of-hours news and gaps
Might be with to try a split strategy for a while, 50% weeklies, the rest on dailies, see which wins-out
What would be interesting, is whether the BIG moves in TSLA, whether they begin out of hours or are signalled in AH/PM, just avoiding the gap up/down on each occasion would save an awful lot of pain
