I have made exits with small profits and have already lost two good opportunities for big profits due to hasty decisions. You have to stick to the initial plan and wait for market responses.

Let me share a trading mistake I made last night.
I want you to learn from this.
I took a $BTC short at 100,700. Perfect setup, good entry.
Price immediately dropped $1000 after my entry. Everything looked perfect.
But here's where I messed up:
It was late, around 1:50 AM. I was tired and about to sleep.
Instead of trusting my original plan, I moved my stop loss to breakeven.
"Just to be safe while I sleep" - I told myself.
What happened next?
Price came back up, hit my breakeven stop loss while I was sleeping.
Then...
Bitcoin dumped all the way below $98,000.
I missed out on massive profits because I didn't trust my setup.
This is a critical lesson for all traders:
When you have a perfect setup When your risk is properly managed When your analysis is solid
Don't rush to move your stop loss to breakeven.
Let your trades breathe. Let them work.
In the long game, letting your winners run will make you more money than trying to protect small profits.
Trust your analysis. Trust your setup.
One proper target hit is worth more than 10 breakeven exits.
This is how you build real wealth in trading.
I teach you this because I still make these mistakes.
Trading is a never-ending journey of improvement
