noparking, try trailing stops, they let your profits run and will prevent open profit erosion. Just move your stop order progressively lower with the stock price decline. or try taking 1/2 the profits quickly(like the opening 10 mins tomorrow) and then hold out for the remaining big score later in the morning/afternoon. you'll never go broke taking money off the table just a thought, Good Trading

noparking007: I don't give specific advice to buy or sell an individual security, but I can share what I do. I sometimes do incremental selling on selloffs, using support levels, stochastics, Williams%R, and parabolic readings, and also the overall market or index momentum, so that if the Naz is oversold parabolically, I sell at least some, and more or all when a reversal appears to be starting, such as a strong close, but if it is weak at the close, I hold til the next day to see if it gaps down for me to sell more... I am not recommending that you use my trading style, but just informing.... (P.S. Please no profanity on this thread, thanks.)
