Book Partial Profits

On our blog category “Decoding Charts,” we have mentioned the booking of 80% partial profits at the first target.

Through “Decoding Charts,” StatStock tries to make you aware of the following:

  1. You can easily and safely catch the momentum. 
  1. Through managing your risk in a calculated and controlled manner. 
  1. It will help to earn profits in a short time.

How?

We have to exit 80% of our position when we reach our first target and hold 20 % balance till we reach our second target. 

While doing so, you can set your stop loss at the first exit level and wait to reach the second target with your remaining 20% of your position. 

Here you can manage your risk wonderfully without losing the profits you have achieved so far.

If you think that, you want to hold 100% of your position till the second target with the initial stoploss, then it would be a grave mistake. Here, you will lose all the profits you have earned in a week or two if the market gives a U-turn. 

The absence of a stop loss would result in a dangerous shift from a swing trader to a long-term investor.

We booked the first target in this stock on 16/7/25

It’s completely irrelevant in the decision-making process as to whether such market movement is natural or manipulative.

We should remember the thumb rule: The market is uncertain.
