Question 1

Is selling before the top actually a mistake?

Accepted Answer

No. Selling into strength is disciplined — the top is only visible in hindsight. Regret comes from all-or-nothing exits. The fix is a repeatable plan: scale out in tranches and let a trailing stop carry the rest, so you never fully miss a runner or give it all back.

Question 2

How do I stop selling too early?

Accepted Answer

Predefine your exit as a ladder, not a single price. Take partial profit at your target to de-risk, then trail a stop on the remainder. You bank a guaranteed win and keep upside exposure, which removes the emotional urge to either panic-sell or hold too long.
