sorry for the delay responding, i usually try and calculate whether a trade will get me 10%. i.e. how many pips does it have to go up to gain 10%, and does the price action support that many pips. unless I'm scalping, then I'm happy to get out for a pip if the dollar gain is worth grabbing. having said that, i watch price action very closely and sell when i see a sell signal. hanging onto the idea of 10% can make u miss the signal
