Take-Profit Ladder

A stacked sequence of sell rules at multiple price or MC milestones, each selling a fraction of the position. Example structure: 25% out at 2x entry MC, 25% at 4x, 25% at 10x, 25% left as a free runner. Prevents selling everything too early and prevents giving back all unrealized gain.

Tools Advanced Trading Strategy Axiom's automated exit system allowing stacked take-profit and stop-loss rules attached to a specific position. Two common failure modes: leftover rules from a prior entry firing against a new position, and toggle drift (forgetting whether the system is on or off). → Tools Trailing Stop-Loss A stop-loss that follows the price upward as a position appreciates but never moves down. The correct tool for protecting unrealized gains on a running position, not for limiting losses on a fresh entry — a trailing stop set at entry will be triggered by normal wicks before the move has resolved. → Psychology Plan-Followed vs Plan-Broken The journaling distinction between trades where the pre-committed plan was executed and trades where it was deviated from. Expectancy must be calculated separately for each. If plan-broken expectancy matches or beats plan-followed, the written plan is not a plan — it is a written suggestion. →
