In the long run, over many trades, $5 at a time does add up. In your example above you were a good ways in the money above your strike. Totally understand your point of $5 adding up, but also a few things to consider on the other side as well. But, you also have to keep in mind, especially when not that far in the money, that in those 30 minutes, or even in the last two minutes ( dark zone) that if a binary goes against you and you can not get out , you can lose the entire amount as well. Once you are that far up in profit, you have to weigh the decision to risk it coming back against you and losing , or coming back against you and giving up a lot of profit, just for holding it to make and extra $5. When you could have taken most of your profit there and moved on to another trade. Also, for someone with a smaller account, who can not really afford to be in multiple trades at once, if they are holding onto a nice winning position like that for an extra 30 minutes just to get an extra $5, they are limiting themselves to being able to get into another trade perhaps that they could have got into and ridden that trade up to $95 and got out etc. So just showing the other side of the coin as well and things to consider
