Watching a profitable trade turn into a loss because you refused to take profits is one of the most frustrating experiences in trading.
When you feel greedy near profit targets, you stop trading the market structure and start trading your financial desires. Expecting a stock to run endlessly without respecting major resistance or support levels leads to round-tripping your positions and giving back earned gains.
To eliminate greed at target zones and build consistent exits:
Determine your exact target levels during pre-market preparation, not while reacting to live market ticks.
Scale out of your position systematically by locking in partial profits at primary technical targets.
Move your stop loss to protect your remaining position so that a winning trade can never turn into a net loss.
Respect your pre-planned targets, take your profits systematically, and protect your hard-earned capital.
