I believe that you must have a minimum highly possible number of pips you want to bank per trade (in accordance with your Risk:Reward ratio). When you get to that number you must be willing to bank without thinking twice about it
That means if you want to make 20 pips per day... you must be willing to take your 20 pips (only more if probabilities are +95% that you will get more)
