Today I hinted the key word was “short”😉
Let's talk about the main thing in trading. While you are in position, your virtual Profit is NOT YOURS. It’s not in your pocket!
It will become yours when you close part or all of the position you are in.
When I first started trading, they were constantly telling me “take your money from the table.” This is why scalpers are the most profitable and stable guys. Although their profits alike a check from the discounter or a grocery store. Nevertheless they take the profit little by little but many times, every day..
Otherwise, the “trader game” can turn into a “long-term investor” or the never-ending game.
