≈ Scaling Away ≈

Traders,

Want to increase the likelihood that your sum of winners exceeds the sum of your losers? Increase your average gain. How you do this depends in large part on your type of strategy. Milking profits from a cash flow trade like naked puts and covered calls is entirely different than doing so with long stock or a long call option. This is because one has a limited reward, and the other has an unlimited reward.

For brevity’s sake, we’re focusing on those with unlimited reward.

You buy a stock for $50, and it quickly moves to $55. Now you’re faced with the happy dilemma of when to take profits. Rather than holding pat or going all out, how about doing a little bit of both. Scale out, in other words.

Taking partial profits is the ultimate compromise. It’s psychologically pleasing because it allows you to sate both your fear and greed simultaneously.

Chart of the Day

Canopy Growth Corporation

Canopy Growth Corporation (Ticker: CGC) was a recent bullish trading candidate from our Options Report. The stock broke out of its high base pattern at $35 and has made a nice move to the upside. If you bought it at $35, then you are sitting on a tidy profit. Instead of staying all in or going all out, traders might scale out and sell some of their position to lock in some profit.
