• 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.
