What is Taking Profit?

Basics

익절

Closing a position that is in profit to lock in the gain. Profit before it is locked in is only a valuation that disappears if the market reverses. Conversely, a habit of locking in too early leaves losses large and profits small, and the overall result deteriorates. The remedy is to decide before entry where profit will be taken.
