Taking partial profits is not weakness. It is position management. The mistake many traders make is treating a trade as binary — either hold for the full target or exit completely. That leaves a lot of edge on the table. A simple structure that holds up: Scale out 30-40% at your first significant resistance level. Move your stop to entry on the remaining position. Let the rest run with a trailing stop or a defined second target. You lock in real gains. You stay exposed to the upside. And you remove the emotional weight of watching an unrealized profit evaporate. The traders who compound consistently are not the ones who catch every top. They are the ones who take something real out of every good trade. #riskmanagement
