But terrible at taking profit...

Almost every trade i make 90 percent are always in the correct direction.... But i am inept at taking profit.... I start looking at the longer timeframes for a huge win... But 99 percent it crashes down taking all my profit... And then i close it at minus normally....

I am half way there.... Breakeven tading

I read your post and made me think of a friend who trades. I reccomended that he sets a very small initial target and close out most of your trade. Scale out of your winning trades.

example- trade 3 lots
and close 2 lots at T1 +10 pips
and close your last lot on T2 ( maybe +50 or something large )

* also, dont trade on a 5min chart with a target on a 4hr chart.

try using the "next size up" 5 min entry on a 15minute trend. 15 minute entry on a 30min /1 hr trend.

It depends whether you are day trading or swing trading. Since you are good with holding position, I would suggest looking for systems or setups that are favorable for position holding.

I know of a trader who never key in limit order for profit taking. He always let his trade positions run. He uses relatively tight sl and move up sl to break even when he is in a relatively profitable position. SL is moved up to a technical point every time the profit increases for a position. If a person trade like this, eventually he or she will hit home runs (huge profits).
