Profit Guard Calculator

The Scale-Out Profit Guard removes the emotion from selling. Instead of trying to time the perfect exit, you harvest profits in 25% slices as the stock hits milestones — locking in real gains while letting the final 25% ride as pure house money.

The Golden Rule — Important Note

Never let a winner turn into a loser. Once a position has hit +20% or more, the Golden Rule becomes active for the life of the trade. If the stock pulls back below +10% from your purchase price at any point after that, exit the remainder of the position immediately — regardless of what any other signal says. Protecting a locked-in gain is always more important than chasing further upside.

The 4 Rules

#	Rule	Trigger	Action	Status
Stop Loss	Stop Loss	Return ≤ -10%	Exit full position — take the managed loss	—
Slice 1	Take Profit — +20%	Return ≥ +20%	Sell 25% — de-risk the initial trade	—
Slice 2	Take Profit — +50%	Return ≥ +50%	Sell 25% — bank significant profit	—
Slice 3	Take Profit — +100%	Return ≥ +100%	Sell 25% — you have recaptured all original capital	—

// The Scale-Out System

Instead of selling everything at once, you harvest profits in 25% slices at +20%, +50% and +100%. After three slices, the final 25% rides as house money — zero risk to your original capital, unlimited upside.

// The Golden Rule

Never let a winner turn into a loser. If a position has hit +20% or more but pulls back below +10%, exit the remainder immediately. Protecting a gain is more important than chasing more.

// The Stop Loss

A 10% drop from your purchase price is the hard exit. Taking a small, managed loss early protects capital for the next trade. The market will always give you another opportunity.

// House Money

After selling three 25% slices you have recovered your full original investment. The remaining 25% costs you nothing — let it compound freely and capture any long-term moonshot growth.
