true.. you can never lose money my taking profits. but the difference with good traders and great traders is that great traders know when to be patient(and let something ride) and how to minimize losses i tend to take profits when i see them but im trying to get to the point where i can let my winning trades gain more. This comes with experience that i dont have enough of yet. Currently im sitting at a 100%~ unrealized gain on a trade but im letting it ride another day or 2. Before i would have taken the 20% gain happily. all depends on the situation and price action. GL stock king
