Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: to "lock in profits" can be very great.
Prices never go straight up; therefore it is necessary to let the prices go against you if you are going to ride on a trend. Early in a trend this can often mean watching decent profits of 10% to 30% fade to a small loss. In the middle of a trend, it might mean watching a profit of 80% to 100% drop by 30% to 40%. The temptation to lighten the position to "lock in profits" can be very great.
