When to sell

Exits & selling

On our own signals, about one winner in four dipped 14% before it paid 10%. A 5% or even 7% trail from day one throws out every one of those. The weekly plan starts its trail only after the target, and that kept about 95 of every 100 winners.

Risk & sizing

A stop without a target is half a plan. Take the stop off the measured ladder and set targets in multiples of the distance to it: in at $100 with the balanced stop at $86, $14 is 1R, so 2R is $128 and 3R is $142 — with the share count for $250 at risk.

Exits & selling

The usual picks cost more than they look. On our top-tier daily signals a flat 10% stop would have thrown out about 40 of every 100 that went on to pay, and no stop at all leaves nothing between you and the one that never comes back. A stop isn't free — you're picking it with the price tag showing.

Risk & sizing

If one R is what you're risking, two R is twice that and three R is three times, measured up from your entry. In at a hundred with the stop at ninety-five: a hundred and five, a hundred and ten, a hundred and fifteen. On fifty shares, that's what a win is worth.
