Since shorts are obligations, I think its not a bad idea to close them out if you are either happy/successful with the results. Nothing to do with being biased in any way, just a safer way to trade. Its not worth the risk of hanging on for every penny. Just one man's opinion.

I am biased to control one of the only things I can in a market, and that is by locking in profits.

In the stock market, not only do you have total control, but you also have many opportunities to exercise that control.
Unfortunately for most investors, that control is usually more about managing their losses, than their profits.
