Funny old day. Trades often don&#8217;t go the way you think they will.

Yes, holding could have produced a bigger profit, but it&#8217;s all about following the strategy. Better to put a few dollars in the bank and live to fight another day than hold out and hope it keeps going.

That&#8217;s because it was a relatively late trade. Normally I like to try and be done by lunchtime.
