In a long trade, you take your profits on the strength of the price, even if there is more upside, you can't predict a top in most cases even if you are going by revenues as a guideline. Selling into that strength ensures you make money. Same as shorting into weakness. As they say, stocks breaking new highs tend to go higher and stocks breaking new lows tend to go lower.

Yesterday I got stoped-out on MXC which severly limited my gains and even produced a loss onetime when my stop when off on a random gap dip which was quickly filled. If im watching these like a hawk in the first hour of trading for a potential exit should I just execute using market fill orders and have no stop order so I dont get randomly taken out on some random price gap?
