Spanish term or phrase: recoger ganacias
From a potted stock market report:

"La semana comenzaba plana por la ausencia de referencias y con pocos movimientos. Los operadores recogían de forma moderada las ganancias acumuladas en la semana anterior. "

What is actually being said in the second sentence? I am after an explanation rather than a straight translation, thanks.

Explanation:
What I understand here is that, as with every other trade, the week begins slowly and there's not much movement. Therefore, all profits (ganancias) made by the traders in the previous week start coming in at a moderate rate or in a moderate fashion(de forma moderada). Slowly, but surely anyways, since they are picking up profits made the previous week.
Hope that makes sense. Good luck!
