You need to understand one fundamental thing: a trade can go well, or it can go very well. But if you are unable to manage your profits intelligently, in the end all that favourable movement is useless. In trading, it's not just about getting in right, it's mainly about how you get out. You can have the perfect trade, but if you don't take profits, reduce your position or protect your gains... sooner or later, the market will take them back. This is one of those market phases where the less you do, the more your portfolio benefits. This is not the time to force trades or look for trades everywhere. In such uncertain contexts, the real skill is often knowing how to stay put, wait for the right levels and only intervene when there is a real advantage. In trading, it is not always the one who does the most who wins, but the one who knows how to do the least... at the right time. I too occasionally scalp here and there, but always with very tight stops, small percentages and few pounds at risk. The idea is simple: push when the market really gives you the opportunity and calm down when there is no advantage. In trading, you need to know how to accelerate at the right moments and slow down when the context is unclear. It is precisely this management of pace that, in the long run, protects your capital and makes the difference.
