In this episode, we continue our Trading Avatar series by looking at one of the most common execution mistakes traders make:

Selling their winners too early.

Taking profits isn't automatically the wrong decision.

In fact, depending on your strategy and Trading Avatar, it may be exactly the right thing to do.

The problem is when you sell because you're afraid of giving back unrealized gains, not because your chart or trading plan tells you it's time.

In this episode, we explore why profitable trades can be just as emotional as losing ones, how different Trading Avatars should manage winning positions, and how to decide whether to take profits, take partial profits, or simply let the trend continue.
