There are three levels of profit-taking in stock trading. See which level you have reached.
There are three levels of profit-taking in stock trading,
Let’s see which level you have reached:
First level,
Beginner level — want to run after earning a little.
Sell in a hurry after a 5% increase,
Fearing profits will be lost.
The result is often selling too early,
Missing out on the subsequent doubling of the market.
Second level,
Experienced trader level — know how to move stop-loss.
For example, set a 5% stop-loss,
When it rises to 50%, widen the stop-loss to 8%,
Allow a 10% pullback after doubling before selling.
Let profits run a bit longer,
But also protect most of the gains.
Third level,
Master level — only look at the trend,
Ignore fluctuations.
As long as the upward trend is intact,
Hold on; when the trend changes,
Exit calmly.
This requires great patience,
Willpower,
And years of accumulated experience.
Which level are you at now?
Most people are stuck at the first level,
A few reach the second level,
Those who reach the third level,
Are very rare.
But each step forward,
Brings you closer to “consistent profits.”
