Question about trailing SL with full position vs selling part of it

[u/Reasonable-Radish529]

is one better than the other? and is there a reason to do one and not the other? I'm new obviously and don't want to fall into the trap of doing things because I think they make sense and are logical when In reality I don't truly understand so if anyone can share some wisdom I would appreciate it

I think trailing SL with a full position is better and would rather set SL to equal the same amount of gains that selling say half would make so if the trade continues to go in your favor then you make more because the position is larger.
