      $PLTR COVERED 251212 CALL 182.5$  Why Covered Calls Work Better Than "Taking Profit" Many investors feel good when they sell a stock high and buy it back lower. It feels smart, like free money. But in reality, this breaks compounding and increases the chance of missing real long term gains. Even if you trust your timing skills, no one can predict the market with today’s volatility. A much simpler and more effective approach is to keep your core holdings and sell covered calls to collect income. This method allows your portfolio to keep compounding while still giving you a clean way to take profit. Options sound scary at first, but the concepts below are very beginner friendly. ⸻ 1.

      🧠 Investor’s Take-Profit Strategy & Lifestyle Discipline 1. Define a Clear Take-Profit System • Pre-set profit targets: Before entering a trade, define your exit points — e.g. 20–30% for swing trades, or scaling out at key resistance levels for longer-term positions. • Partial profit-taking: Sell portions of your position (e.g. 25–50%) as the stock hits milestones. This locks in gains while allowing remaining shares to ride the trend. • Trailing stops: Move your stop-loss upward as the stock rises to protect profits while still giving room for growth. • Review fundamentals: If the fundamentals remain strong, you can hold longer. If valuations stretch or market sentiment overheats, it’s time to realize profits. 2. Emotional Discipline & Focus • Trade the plan, not emotions. Once tar

      Do You Have Your Own Take-Profit Strategy or System?

      Take profit too early? Regret. Take profit too late? Regret. Take profit at the exact right time, at the exact right number? No regret… but also, almost impossible. Sell early, and you’re the guy who left the party just before the fireworks. Sell late, and you’re stuck sweeping up empty bottles while everyone else is gone. Sell perfectly? That’s once in a blue moon. That’s trading. You think you’re being clever locking in gains early… then the stock rockets 20% the next morning. You hold a little longer, trying to squeeze out just a bit more… and suddenly you’re watching your “profits” turn into “what the hell just happened.” The truth? Nailing the perfect exit is basically a myth. Nobody consistently sells at the top. If you do, congratulations, you should probably buy a lottery ticket to

      I’ve often heard traders say that knowing when to sell is more important than knowing when to buy. The buying part feels exciting—you wait patiently, do your research, and finally pull the trigger. But the selling part? That’s where the real test begins. It requires decisiveness, sometimes even courage. For me, my take-profit approach started off as mostly gut feeling. If I sensed it was time to take money off the table, I sold. Simple as that. The problem was, I often sold too early. I hated watching unrealized profits shrink, and the idea of seeing them turn into losses was even worse. In a way, I was protecting myself but at the cost of cutting short potential gains. Over time, I came to respect just how volatile the market can be.

      I thought about this often and am guilty of letting greed get the better of me. If depends on how strongly I feel about the stock as I’ve had stocks where I have waited till 100% profit then sold then had them keep running till 200 or 300 percent and been disappointed that I sold and didn’t hold but these gains are rare. I feel I need a system were I sell at 5% gain and rebuy at the next rebound to be more consistent but this isn’t always manageable and increases overall fees paid to the broker. Love to know what other people’s system are that work for them 🧐

News about each stock plays a pivot role about when to sell.Most long players tends to set a target price or percentage and then sell or cut losses. Depends on your style when to take profit. A good strategy is buy on rumors and sell on news. The above profit taking system is good for novice to follows but as you are long enough in the market you set your own strategy.

      It’s often said in the market that knowing when to sell is more important than knowing when to buy!When to buy? Be patient when buying, but decisive when selling.In many cases, when we buy a stock, we’re actually buying into an expectation of the future. But when we sell, it should be an act of decisive harvesting.Why patience when buying? Because the stock you buy represents your conviction in the market. That conviction should come from a comprehensive understanding of valuation, growth, and intrinsic value. Once you’ve bought it, you should have enough confidence to hold and wait it out. As the saying goes, “If you believe, believe early; if not, don’t believe at all.”We’ve previously discussed how to use technical indicators to identify entry points—let’s also take a look at what other

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$   1. The Logic of Profit-Taking Buying requires patience: waiting for a favourable setup or valuation. Selling requires decisiveness: hesitation often turns paper gains into losses. System vs. Emotion: A structured take-profit plan removes second-guessing and “fear of missing out.” --- 2. Take-Profit Approaches Commonly Used Different traders adopt different styles, depending on their risk appetite, time horizon, and market. Some widely applied frameworks include: 1. Fixed % Target Example: sell once a position gains +20%. Advantage: Simple and rules-based. Limitation: May cap upside too early in strong trends. 2. Technical Resistance Levels Sell when price approaches a previous high, Fibonacci retracement, or trendline

      🌟🌟🌟Selling isn't just a strategy.  We were told to be patient when buying but decisive when selling.  That those who know how to sell are masters. But here is my truth: Selling is not just about locking in gains.  It is about honouring the journey. When I sell, I am not just exiting a position, I am closing a chapter.  I am reflecting on the conviction that brought me in, the volatility that tested me and the growth, both emotional and financial that I earned along the way. I have held $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$ through quiet compounding. I have watched $PropNex(OYY.SI)$ soar 423%, not just in price but as proof. I have seen $ST Engine

      I think knowing when to sell is as important as knowing when to buy. I definitely have my own take profit strategy. I don’t use any technicals specifically but one that is to curb my greed and manage risk in terms of portfolio exposure. My strategy depends whether I am trading or investing in the stock. If im trading, I would go with absolute profit or percentage rise. Once the stock has risen 5-10%, I prefer to take profit. Sometimes, if the potential profit is at least $500, I take profit too. It is always better to have earned less than to be a bag holder. If im wrong and momentum continues going strong, I might swing trade again if the stock still looks promising to climb and remain fundamentally sound. If I’m investing in the stock, I would trim if percentage in my portfolio has e

      I sell only for trading stocks... some notes on when to take profit. 1. check the previous swing higha, these can be resistance 2. check  moving average resistance if price is under. moving average also act as resistance if price is under. 3. check Fibonacci extension if price break out and above moving average 4. check if there's flush up price action ( vertically 90 degrees) if you don't feel like selling all, can sell a portion to preserve cash.

      For me, selling is the hardest part of trading, but also the most crucial. I always set a target before entering, and once that level is reached, I take profit without hesitation. This keeps me from falling into greed and ensures I lock in gains in a structured way rather than leaving it to emotions. I rely on both technical and psychological checkpoints. Technically, I watch resistance levels, RSI signals, and moving averages. Psychologically, I ask: “If I were in cash now, would I still buy this stock at this price?” If the answer is no, that’s my clear signal to sell. Profit-taking systems help bring discipline and consistency. Without them, it’s easy to get swayed by short-term moves or FOMO. By sticking to preset rules, I reduce regret and trade with confidence.

      🎯 Do You Have Your Own Take-Profit Strategy? Personally, I use a combo of: • 📊 MA5, MA12, MA26 for trend structure • 📈 RSI for momentum signals • 🔊 Volume for conviction MA5 is my first trigger — if price breaks below it with weak volume, I trim. If the trend remains strong (confirmed by MA12/26 and RSI holding above 50), I’ll hold longer and adjust my profit target upward[Miser][Miser][Miser]. It’s not about catching the top — it’s about protecting gains and staying disciplined. 🧠💰 Having a clear take-profit system helps me avoid emotional exits and improves my overall performance. No second-guessing. No FOMO. Just rules, rhythm, and risk control. 🪩📋 What’s your sell signal? [Lovely] Drop your method below—let’s compare notes. 🔍🔥

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ I don't know if I can call this is profit booking or even a strategy in the strict sense. What I do is buy only those stocks that I have conviction upon. And then once I am able to make profit, if the counter tends to be volatile, I tend to sell it when a decent profit is generated. And once the price corrects for a non-alarming reason, I reinvest the entire proceeds so that my shareholding increases as compared to earlier. This has helped me in certain counters like $Micron Technology(MU)$ $UiPath(PATH)$  etc.

      I only take profit from my UTs but not stocks. Depending on situation… if the UT is good, I will take profit at 20%.. if the UT is neither here nor there, I will take profit at 10%. But lately, I m at a dilemma as my UTs are at 30% profit. I m debating to take profit or to add more.. My approach of selling the UT is.. I will ensure the price is stabilise at my price. Hence, it is a few days of monitor before I hit “sell” button. This is to ensure that my profit is secure. Instead of trial and error to get a good price. In the event, if the price is not stabilised, I will wait for the next window. @MHh @Universe宇宙 @melson
