Maybe a "great feeling", but the wrong move. There will be days when you lose $675 or lose $800. At the end of the year, if you have an edge then the more time you have put into capping and betting, the more money you will make. If you quit for the day every time you reach some arbitrary threshold, you are 'leaving money on the table'.
Instead of thinking in terms of how much you are up for the day, you should get in the habit of thinking in terms of where you are overall. Don't reset each day at zero. Don't waste mental energy worrying about whether you will finish ahead for that day.
