Every time I enter a trade now, I remind myself that the exit is more important than the entry. Early in my journey, I obsessed over perfect entries — waiting for the ideal candle or a pinpoint support level. But I often held on too long or exited too early due to emotions. Over time, I learned that a well-managed exit determines whether a trade becomes a profit or a loss. One trade that taught me this involved a strong altcoin breakout. My entry was near perfect, but I didn’t have a profit-taking plan. I hesitated during the spike and ended up watching the price fall back to my entry. Since then, I use a system: set partial take-profits, trail my stop-loss, and never hope for more. Trading isn’t about catching the whole move — it’s about consistently locking in profits. I’ve come to believe that exits are a skill of discipline, not prediction. The market rewards those who plan, not those who dream. Now I always trade with the end in mind.
