Three good habits for short-term holdings:

1️⃣ When you're unsure whether to take profits on floating gains, always close half the position and keep the rest to protect the principal—this will never be wrong!
2️⃣ After some floating gains, habitually set a breakeven stop-loss or move the stop-loss; this is the baseline and should not be mistaken for floating losses.
3️⃣ Take-profit target levels are always just a plan; do not become overly obsessed with taking profits exactly at the target level.
