Episode 101: Stop Cutting Winners Early: The Exit Mistake That Keeps You Broke

About this episode

This episode discusses the common mistake of cutting winners early in trading and offers strategies for better trade management.

If you keep taking profit too early, your strategy isn’t the problem. Your exits are. In this episode, I break down why traders cut winners early, what fear looks like in real time, and how this habit destroys your risk-to-reward over the long run. You’ll learn a simple trade management plan you can repeat on both day trades and swing trades, without overthinking or guessing. We’ll cover how to protect a trade the right way, when to pay yourself, and how to hold a runner so your best trades actually have a chance to pay you. At the end, you’ll get one weekly assignment to train better exits fast.
