“Go up a little more and I’ll leave.” I told myself that line for an entire night seven years ago. In the end, when the price rose, I couldn’t bear to sell; when it fell, I wouldn’t admit I was wrong. By the end, all the profit I had made slid right back to zero #币圈起伏落袋为安
That time, with ETH, I went all-in with 3,000 U. In just a few days, the unrealized gains were already quite a lot. I originally planned to sell when it reached my target, but when it really started to climb, people get greedy. I even turned off my own take-profit reminders with my own hands
Later, the market suddenly weakened, and I started lying to myself again: what could the majors possibly be afraid of? They’ll definitely come back
And then I slowly bled out all the profit
Later on, with NFTs I kept making money but refused to sell; with BTC, I canceled my stop-loss during the swing trade and kept holding on. I paid several rounds of tuition before I finally truly etched my three rules into my brain
First, always leave yourself a back-up
No matter how good the market looks, I won’t put all my capital in. I separate the core position, the main trading position, and reserve funds. If I’m wrong, I can exit. If an opportunity comes, I still have bullets
Second, learn to lock in unrealized gains
The numbers on the screen are only unrealized gains. Once I reach my goal, I’ll reduce my position in batches and actually take some of the profit off the table
Third, stop-losses can’t be changed on the fly
Before entering, where I’m wrong and the maximum I can lose must be decided in advance and fixed. If the market really proves me wrong, I accept it. A small loss isn’t scary—the worst is when one mistake keeps getting delayed until it grows
After doing this for so long, I realized the market is never really beaten by any single candlestick—it’s always beaten by my own greed, stubborn holding, and wishful thinking
After many years, I finally learned these three things for real: position splitting, locking in gains, and stop-losses. Follow me and let’s do the simple things properly #币圈暴富
