Stop Falling in Love with Your Bags

Take the Damn Profits – Before the Market Takes Them From You

Let’s get real:

One of the biggest, most painful mistakes I made as a trader was getting emotionally attached to my bags. I held when I should’ve sold. I watched life-changing gains evaporate because I was chasing that mythical 10x moonshot.

Don’t be me.

Here’s What Happened:

$SOL ran from $106 → $270, then crashed right back to $106. 🤡

$DOGE doubled from $0.18 → $0.40, then rugged back to $0.18.

$PEPE pumped to $0.000016, then got sliced in half like sushi. 🍣

The lesson? Pumps aren’t permanent.

Paper gains mean nothing if you don’t lock them in.

Let’s talk about turning hype into real money.

Profit-Taking Rules That Actually Work

Know When You’re Out

Decide your exit targets before you buy.
Examples: +25%, +50%, +100%.
Set limit orders. Walk away. No second-guessing.

Sell in Pieces, Not All at Once

Profit like a sniper, not a gambler.

Take profits in portions:

30% at +25%

30% at +50%

40% at +100%

You lock in wins while keeping upside exposure.

Protect the Bag with Trailing Stops

Use trailing stop-losses to let winners run and automatically exit on reversal.

No more sleepless nights watching charts.

Rebuy Like a Pro (Not a FOMO Ape)

Took profits? Great.

Now wait for a 10–20% dip to re-enter with that dry powder.

Let the market come to you.

Don’t YOLO the Portfolio

No single coin should be more than 10% of your total stack.

Diversify across:

Blue chips

Memecoins

Layer 2s

Utility plays

Your portfolio is not a lottery ticket. Balance it.

Review Monthly. Yes, Every Month

At least once a month:

Rebalance

Take profits from overheated bags

Shift gains into stablecoins

Bull runs end. Don’t let greed erase your progress.
