The hardest part of a winning trade? Knowing when to get paid. 💰
Most traders plan the entry and stop—then let greed manage the exit.
Price moves in their favor:
“Maybe it goes higher.”
“I’ll hold one more candle.”
“I don’t want to sell too early.”
That’s how a clean trade becomes a round trip.
Plan your take-profit before entry.
Example:
You buy support at 100 with a stop at 96, risking 4 points.
Next resistance is near 108.
That’s 8 points of potential reward for 4 points of risk: roughly 2R.
A practical approach:
• Take partial profit near the first major target
• Move your stop only if your plan allows it
• Let the rest run while structure stays healthy
Partials reduce pressure. Once you lock in something, you’re less likely to panic-sell—or greed-hold. 🎯
Without a target, every green candle becomes an emotional debate.
Let structure and risk/reward guide your exit—not the feeling that it “could moon.”
Plan profits while calm. Execute when price gets loud.
Fixed targets, partials, or trailing stops? 👇
