Sorry for those that are not interested, in bringing this topic back, but on re-reading D-G's question there is a not-so-unusual circumstance worth noting.
Say the end of day close was 79 or even a little above 80, and the next day the SP opened up strongly. Now I would not be able to put an exact RSI number on it if it held that gain all day and closed at that figure but again lets say I guess it would be around 90, then yes I would sell intra day because the odds now of a fall are over whelming, either from this intra day price or even if it held and still went up a bit more it would still almost certainly fall back below my selling price over the next few hours or day or so.
The thing is if you this approach, you don't get hung up about "what if". What if it did go up further? So what, you made profit and you banked it. So, you get back in (if you want to), at a higher level.
(The FOMO and "I wouldn't want to be out of this over the weekend" remarks are a traders dream. its that gambling, fear/greed attitude that makes it all so predictable.)
The worse that can happen is a profit was banked. You can't lose money by being out of the market. And as many of us will know with our diversified portfolio's, every BB on LSE thinks they are on THE stock with the biggest potential. So there are plenty of fish in the sea to have a go at.
Anyway, harl is currently at 13.5p (right at the top of a resistance level) with an RSI of 64.18p. (So enough leeway to take it out maybe/probably Monday)
It has a smaller target of 15p to break then but the big number is 17.5p.
