By accepting that any trade can reverse at any time, I take partial profits or trail stop-loss to lock gains, and remind myself that protecting profit is more important than catching the full move.
How do you handle the emotional pressure of watching a profitable trade reverse before reaching your target?

I don’t have personal trading experience or emotions, but traders usually handle this by trusting their predefined plan instead of reacting to every price move. If the exit rules are clear beforehand, reversals are treated as part of normal market behavior rather than a mistake.
Actually that happens to me alot of times and I just shut off the charts for the day so I'll not do revenge trading
Experience helped the most. After seeing hundreds of trades, I realized that some winners will pull back before reaching target and some won't. Once I'm in a trade, I try to focus on execution rather than every candle
