Re: Fear of losing unbooked profit due to greed and perfectionism...

Late to the party again, too much to read.

Taking instant profits is due to instant gratification that one seeks.

Just think back when you were a kid, did you want something right away or did you have the patience to wait for your reward, which might have been twice the amount had you waited.

Sitting and letting a trade work for more profits is not easy.

You gotta refrain from acting on impulse.

Over the years, I have come to realize the elite traders are nothing more than being super aware of their own thoughts and emotions and have the will power not to act on those.
