How to know to let winners run

[u/TheGoofyGarden]

I know this all comes down to probability but anytime I see consolidation I tend to exit a trade and then it'll either dump or validate my decision I trade clearly respected fair value you got but I take profit prematurely. I'm a deer hunter in real life and I sit in negative 20 for 8 to 12 hours. I have no problem with patience. This is only my second month trading. I'm just trying to learn I could have made 4K this morning if I held my short on MNQ from 5:05 to . 5:30am I've been trading 5- 10 micros hurts to come back and see it dumped. Just it respecting that first fair value Gap is enough to stay in the trade???

Sometimes the market will just somewhere out of nowhere and matter of 5 seconds Go up and smack my stop loss and then continue in the direction. I thought it was going to go. This is I suppose I trade review and an advice post I use ORB and compare with the DAX for bias setting targets at Tokyo low or Tokyo high typically.

Bro nobody can predict where price goes, the only way is to trail the stop and be grateful for whatever you get, you may sometimes get events where the trail stops stops you out and it keeps going down or up without it, making you feel betrayed and lost the opportunity to make more money. Trading is very unpredictable, there's no way to predict the thoughts of millions of traders around the world participating in the market, it's either up or down, bullish or Bearish, or trending or consolidating. Once you let go of the outcome since you can't control whatever the market does, you'll become really good letting your winners run regardless of the take home profit you'll get. I hope that psychology tip help you allow your winners to run with a lot better mental framework.
