Strategy Insight
Despite taking partials, your break-even is above entry. This can happen if partial profits were small relative to position size.
Understanding Break-Even After Partial Profits
When you take partial profits on a trade, your break-even price for the remaining position changes. The profits you have locked in effectively reduce the cost basis of your remaining position, allowing it to move against you further before you lose money overall.
The Formula
New Break-Even = (Original Cost - Locked Profit) / Remaining Quantity
Example Calculation
- Long 100 shares at $50 - Original cost: $5,000
- Sell 50 shares at $55 - Profit: $250 (50 x $5)
- New Break-Even - ($5,000 - $250) / 50 = $95
- Result: Your remaining 50 shares can drop to $95 before you lose money on the overall trade
