locking in sure winners

Business/Commerce (general)
Some of the examples Eckhardt cites of the comfortable choices people tend to make that no counter to sound trading principles include: gambling with losses, locking in sure winners, selling on strength and buying on weakness, and designing (or buying) trading systems that have been overfitted to past price behavior. The implied message to the trader is: Do what is right, not what feels comfortable.

6. "The answer to this is not easy and many investors will sell their stocks only to see them double or triple after they have been sold -- this can be extremely frustrating. So what discipline can we use to make sure that we don't sell too early or that we don't make the mistake of hanging on for too long?": http://www.morningstar.com.au/technicalanalysis/article/taki...
Eu referi que as ordens "take profits" estão relacionadas com a expressão "locking in sure winners". Estas ordens "take profits" são ordens para executar/fechar um contrato quando o investidor alcança um nível de ganhos desejado. Ele pode fazê-las, por ex., para garantir o seu "break-even". Ao fazer uma ordem destas, o investidor está a fixar ("lock") os ganhos possíveis, mas também está a limitá-los, sobretudo porque normalmente dão esta ordem prematuramente.

3. "One of the biggest reasons for so many losing traders on Wall Street is the fact they take profits too early. If you continuously take profits before you let your harvest come in, you will go broke.": https://tradingsim.com/blog/take-profits/
Creio pois que é este o sentido desta expressão do Eckhardt: "locking in sure winners" é uma posição confortável e cautelosa porque permite garantir um ganho mínimo desejado, mas ao fechar um contrato ganhador impede eventuais maiores ganhos.

É por isso que penso que, neste caso, "lock in" tem o sentido que referi na minha resposta:
lock something in
to make something, such as a rate of interest, permanent over a period of time. You should try to lock in a high percentage rate on your bonds. We locked in a very low rate on our mortgage.

Ou seja, por exemplo, ao comprar uma casa, é bom "conseguir garantir" uma boa taxa
Entre outras razões, os investidores podem fazer esta escolha porque têm medo da inversão da tendência.

2. "Locking in winners": I find myself looking at positions that are my greatest winners and looking at a reason to lock in amounts outside of my system. Cutting into the range that it needs to consolidate in before further gains. The fear of losing gains creeps in and prevents the home-run trade.
