How To Manage Your Trades

The following are a few techniques on how you can manage your trades that are in profit:

If your trade is in profit by amount risked you may consider moving your stop loss to break-even

If your trade is in profit by more than 2 times the amount risked, move your stop loss to lock in profit equal to the amount risked initially.

If your trade is in profit by the amount risked, you may consider closing half of your trading position and move stop loss to break-even so whatever happens, at least you got some profits out…and leave the rest of the position to run to see if it hits your take profit target.
