Nate is out, so I’ll be live with Graham at 10 AM ET for today’s edition of Opening Playbook. We’ll do a week in review before some weekend predictions on what’s shaping up for Monday, a lesson of the week — and a weekend trade idea   Mastering the Exit: How Smart Traders Manage Their Open Positions Getting into a trade is easy. Knowing when to get out — that’s where the money’s made. Most new traders spend all their time obsessing over entry. But execution — how you manage an open position and when you choose to exit — is just as important, if not more. Letting winners ride sounds great in theory.  But the reality? Most trades don’t hit home runs. The longer you hold, the more you expose yourself to random noise, headline risk and market manipulation. That’s why I scale out. You don’t need to hold 100% of your trade until the very end. I like to take partial profits once I hit a target — maybe 25% off at 50%, another 25% off at 100%, and then let the last piece run with a trailing stop. That way, I’m booking wins while still giving the trade room to breathe.   Use the Clock to Your Advantage Kane Shieh Kane Shieh Trading Follow along and join the conversation for real-time analysis, trade ideas, market insights and more!

Markets this week have been a mix of momentum pockets and fakeouts… the kind of environment that rewards preparation and punishes guesswork.  That’s why this morning’s Opening Playbook session at 10 a.m. ET is especially valuable. I’ll be live with Graham since Nate’s out today, walking through a clear and actionable breakdown of the week, and more importantly, how to approach the weekend and early next week with a sharper edge. Here’s what’s on the agenda:   • Week in Review – Which setups delivered, where traders got caught, and what we can learn from it   • Weekend Outlook – Levels, catalysts, and sectors to keep on your radar heading into Monday   • FREE Trade Idea – A weekend setup you can prep now with real structure behind it   • Lesson of the Week – A key concept or mistake we saw traders make and how to handle it better   Whether you're in a groove or feeling off-balance, this session is designed to help you reset, refocus and walk away with a clearer plan. Bring your notebook. Bring your questions. Let’s wrap the week on a high note!   Join Us LIVE at 10 AM ET! _______________________________________________ Today’s Top Sectors Today’s S&P 500 CSI Leaders Grayscale Bitcoin ETF (GBTC)  Generac Holdings (GNRC) Utilities (XLU)  Invesco (IVZ)  Technology (XLK)  GE Vernova (GEV) ​ _______________________________________________ Want to get a link to TradingPub content, trade ideas, real-time market analysis and educational tidbits?
