WED 3/25: NVT – SELLING (ALL) P/L: +$1,488.21 +6.4%

3:31 PM – Taking profits here on this NVT swing trade after previously booking some losses. This afternoon, shares are pulling back from their day highs while becoming extended from the 10 DMA by +7.7%. With the market remaining bearish and highly news-driven, this is a prudent time to lock in gains.

This trade is part of my Personal Portfolio, and this is a personal decision. I am still covering this stock on the site within the Traditional BreakOuts Portfolio.

ULTRA Trader’s Tip: Take Profits Into Extension

  • Stocks extended too far above the 10 DMA often pull back to reset.

  • Selling into strength helps lock in gains before momentum fades.

  • In volatile markets, taking profits proactively improves consistency.
