- Move a large percentage into cash to play with the house's money while leaving some to run.
Trim Parabolic Momentum Positions
- After parabolic momentum moves, cut positions sizably and take profits.
- Let the rest run but reduce exposure to avoid being crushed when competition or supply arrives.
