We all hear "BUY NOW!" but the real money is made knowing when to SELL. I learned this the hard way, losing out on $2,000,000 in the last bull run by not securing profits. Never again.
I locked myself away, dove deep into charts, risk management, and market psychology. The result? A battle-tested Take-Profit system that can save your portfolio and potentially make you a millionaire. Let's break it down;
1. Survival First, Lambo Later 🛡️
Your position size is your shield. Don't trade for a 5x moonshot if it exposes you to ruin. The goal: win big when you're right, and live to trade another day when you're wrong. Protect your capital above all else.
2. Time is Your Silent Killer ⏳
Price isn't the only signal. If your trade stalls too long after a breakout, momentum is fading. Trim fast! The market waits for no one.
3. My Secret Weapon: ATR Bands 📊
Emotional selling? No thanks. I use a simple rule: if price closes below 2x ATR from the high, I start exiting. It's methodical, not hysterical. Stay in control, always.
4. Sentiment Signals the Top 📣
When your barber, Uber driver, and cousin are all hyping a coin, it's time to pay attention. Euphoria peaks 1-3 days before a crash. I track hype, funding rates, and social volume. I'm never the first to sell, but I'm definitely not the last.
5. The "Free Carry" Strategy 💰
Once a trade hits 5x my initial risk, I take my money off the table. I pull out 80-90% to lock in profits, letting the small remainder ride as a "moonbag." This way, the house always wins, and you avoid micromanaging the dream.
6. Compression = Danger Zone ⚠️
After a strong vertical run, watch for the first lower high – that's a red flag. If price compresses without clear follow-through, it's my exit signal. Tight ranges after big moves are often exit zones, not entry points.
My Message to You:
Trade like a sniper, not a dreamer. Lock in your profits, manage your risk like a pro, and play the long game. Let the moonboys chase green candles; you focus on keeping your bag secure.
