90% of people in the crypto market lose money. It’s never because they can’t read the charts—it’s because once they see unrealized profit, they simply don’t have the skill to keep their gains.
Before, a friend caught a trend. His account went from 2000 USDT to 2600 USDT, with 600 USDT in unrealized profit. He got excited, convinced the market would push even higher, and kept holding without being willing to exit.
Then a pullback came. The profit started to shrink, but he kept comforting himself: “It will rebound soon.” In the end, the entire 600 USDT profit was wiped out, and he even ended up cutting his position at a loss and leaving the trade.
The hardest part in trading is never simply getting the entry right. It’s holding onto your greed once unrealized profit is in your hands.
Many people mistakenly think unrealized profit is “money that’s already taken.” But as long as you haven’t closed the position, the market can take back your book gains at any time.
My own approach has always been simple: if the market follows the plan, once the profit reaches your target line, move your stop loss up immediately. Gradually reduce risk to zero, and when necessary, lock in part of the gains.
Some say this makes it easier to get stopped out on a sweep, and you might earn less. But after trading for a long time, you’ll understand: missing out on a bit of profit isn’t scary. What’s scary is finally catching a big chunk of profit, only to give it back to the market because of greed.
A truly mature trader isn’t someone who bottoms and tops perfectly every time. It’s someone who knows how to “weld” the profits they’ve earned into their account—rolling out compound gains with steady, small wins again and again.

There’s always another train on the market. But if you’ve wiped out your principal, there won’t be a next one.
If you’re still chasing price up and cutting when down—getting euphoric when you make a little, and stubbornly holding when you lose—make “protecting profits” a habit first. Trading can at least save you half the detours.
