Picture this: a trader opens an aggressive long position, sits on nearly two thousand dollars in green numbers, and immediately sets ambitious targets without locking in risk. Most market participants get trapped by the illusion of unrealized profits, confusing temporary momentum for guaranteed continuation.

A recent $SOL perp trade showed an unrealized PNL of +1,947.75 USDT while aiming for the $190 to $200 zone on an expected uptrend. Yet during that exact window, the asset dipped -2.86%, illustrating how fast leverage can turn paper gains into liquidity sweeps. When high-beta majors like $BNB and $ETH show localized fatigue, holding unhedged positions into major resistance levels often leaves late buyers holding the bag.

What is your strategy for securing profits before momentum reverses?
