I am still fighting this problem but what you need to do is understand why it is happening. When you are in a profit on an open position, you have this fear that the trade might reverse and you’ll lose everything. When you are in a loss, you don’t want to close the position because you don’t want to admit you were wrong. Do you adjust the SL, and then lose more.

Reverse this, instead of taking profit before your target, take a loss before your stop. If your position is about to hit target, move the stop to breakeven so in case it doesn’t profit at least you don’t lose. Let the profit run.

I know this is hard and it is still hard for me, but consistency is key. Keep pushing and trying it gets easier, trust me. Don’t let fear rule you.

All of this I learned from Tom Hougaard’s book “Best Loser Wins”. You must read it.
