I used to struggle with taking profits because I always thought, “What if it goes 10x?” That mindset made me hold too long and watch green turn red. Chasing moonshots feels exciting, but it’s more gambling than investing.

Now I follow a simple system: take partial profits when I’m up nicely, then let the rest run until it hits my stop profit target or the trend breaks. This way, I lock in wins but still give myself a chance if the stock really takes off.

Of course, I’ve sold too early before and missed big runs, and I’ve also held too long and lost gains. Both hurt, but discipline matters more. For me, consistent profits beat chasing the mythical 10x.

[Event] What Keeps You From Profit?
We all know that sweet feeling of a trade going our way but somehow, taking profits can feel almost impossible. Why is that? Answer: want more profits! Are these scenarios also happening to you? “When I want to take profit, I hear a voice: it will go 10x. Then it turns red.” What keeps you from taking profits? Do you chase “10x” opportunities, or do you have a system to lock in gains? Ever regret selling too early or too late?
