TUE 7/21: OII – SELLING (ALL) P/L: +$1,475.474 +7.4%

2:28 PM – I’m taking these solid profits in OII as the stock has delivered a respectable gain in a short period of time. With the company scheduled to report earnings tomorrow, I’m choosing to lock in the profit rather than assume the additional overnight earnings risk.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Don’t Be Afraid to Take a Good Profit

  • You don’t have to capture every last dollar of a move to be a successful trader.

  • Consistently taking solid gains helps build long-term portfolio performance while reducing risk.

  • Good trades are measured by disciplined execution—not by selling at the exact top.
