• Focus: Trading Psychology
• Key Concept: Profit-Taking Discipline
• Common Trap: Holding through a pump without taking profit, expecting moon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📈 MARKET PUMPING? YOUR PORTFOLIO IS UP 20%.
But you're not selling. You're waiting for the moon.
This is the Dunning-Kruger effect of bull runs: feeling invincible because of a green candle.
─── 📊 THE TRAP ───
• Retail mistake: Not taking profits during euphoria.
• Bias: Overconfidence + greed = holding until red.
• Reality: BTC at $62.5k is already a gift. The market can turn in minutes.
─── 🧠 THE FIX ───
• Set profit targets BEFORE the pump. Use limit orders.
• Scale out: Sell 25% at +20%, 25% at +40%, etc.
• Rule: If you wouldn't buy at this price, you should sell some.
💡 TAKEAWAY: Greed is a trap. Take profits on the way up, not after the dump.
