Do you hit your target on most days? I aim for 3-5k per day trading stock-futures, I hit it on most days & occasionally exceed it. I could potentially make more if I traded more since I see many more signals on my strategy than what I actually end up trading, & this is because I stop trading once I've met my target (& occasionally, if I LOSE 3-5k then I get back to break-even for the day & then stop trading but such days have been EXTREMELY rare, & I almost always hit my daily target); so, if the first trade I take in the morning gets enough profit for the day then I stop right there; so, on the present strategy, on most days, I'm done trading within half an hour to an hour after the start of the NSE trading-session. I think this helps me keep my greed in check (which I believe is very important as a trader)
I'd also like to know which broker you're using, & how satisfied you're with their services in general, & whether they have a good platform for day-trading.
I average about 2-3 trades per day but just one trade today & it hit my daily target, so I stopped trading by 9:31 a.m. itself.
