English term or phrase: locking in sure winners
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.

agree  Vitor Pinteus: ou algo como "fechar posições com títulos ganhadores garantidos" (com ordens "take profit", perdendo a possibilidade de maiores ganhos). Vd. tb. discussão.
