# Wait for Better Profit

* **Enabled (Yes)**: Hold trades slightly longer after reaching profit, aiming for larger gains.
* **Disabled(No):** Take quicker, smaller profits by closing trades as soon as a small gain appears.

{% hint style="info" %}
When enabled, this option tells the EA to hold onto trades that are already in a small profit, it analyzes market momentum and trend strength to decide whether holding the trade longer could lead to greater profit\
By default (when disabled), the EA will close trades as soon as a minor profit is reached to quickly lock in gains and minimize exposure.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
While this feature aims to **maximize profit per trade**, it also introduces **additional risk**:

* The market can reverse suddenly, causing the trade to lose its unrealized profit.
* In some cases, this could lead to the trade entering drawdown
* This option is best used in **stable or trending markets**, and may be less effective or riskier in **volatile or ranging conditions**.
