The most challenging aspect to trading is holding the winners longer. When conditions and signals are near perfect, you only notice how much of the excursion you actually miss. But of course, most days, things are hardly as neat and tied up in a pretty bow as they were at the High of Day today. Being stopped out along the course of entering for a swing becomes so conditional that being handed your First Frame goal so neatly is an almost irresistible temptation to exit your trades... and go to Starbucks for coffee a bit earlier than usual.
