    Did you have a plan or target price when you opened the position ??

    If so, follow the plan, or take profits if/when price reaches your target price.

    Yes, trading and chart reading a very different skills for sure.

    I can pass on a few tips, but I am definitely a better chart reader than a trader, so I have developed my own style which plays to my strengths (even if it is a little boring at times).

    You could watch all the recent video's of the YouTube channel linked below, it is Steve Phillips, who's trading room I attended a few years back for a few months.  He teaches both chart reading and trading, but is a little too expensive for my likings - mind you, I am a cheapskate (I try to educate myself for free, whereas Americans in general are prepared to invest in themselves).

    He also has a website https://tradingrealmoney.com/  which has a blog and some free stuff (I think) - and you can also sign up for his regular trading & news updates.

    You could also have a look at Dr Garys site https://tradingpsychologyedge.com/  I haven't looked at his site recently, but there used to be some free resources there as well.

    Both these two I can recommend as decent people and traders.

    cheers
