I'm typically more profitable if I do not even look at the chart, like at all, after making my buy. Not sure that's good either.
What do you recommend in this case?
You already have the answer to your question. My recommendation is that you give yourself a break from watching the price charts once you make your trade. Just place your order and once it is active and running, take a walk from your computer or phone. That way it helps you control your fingers from closing the profit before it hits big.
