Lesson 21 of 25

Greed turns a winner into a loser

Holding past the target because it 'could go more' gives the trade back.

What you see
  • Moving the target further out mid-trade.
  • Refusing to take a partial.
Why it happens
  • Once the pool is filled, the reason for the move is gone.
How to trade it
  • Set the target before entry.
  • Take partials at the first pool.
Journal it: Note the max profit versus your close.
