The brutal truth about trading: you're gonna cope either way.
Sold early and watched it moon? Cope.
Held through the top and rode it back to zero? Cope.
Both paths end in the same mental torture, so why not pick the one where you actually lock profits?
Unrealized gains mean nothing. They're just numbers on a screen until you hit sell. The market doesn't care about your conviction—it cares about liquidity.
Take profits. Cope with bags secured > cope with empty hands.
