💰【Realizing Profits is Essential|A Must-Read Strategy for Retail Investors】
Many retail investors appear "wealthy on paper" during a bull market, but end up "losing everything back" during a pullback.
It’s not that you don’t understand the technology, nor that you made poor purchases, but rather that you—don't know how to realize profits.
Money you earn is not yours until you realize it.
Below are the profit realization methods I personally execute in real trading, which are suitable for most retail investors to reference👇
✅ 1. Fixed Ratio Profit Locking Method (suitable for small capital)
📌 Principle: Lock in a portion of profits after each stage of increase.
If the increase reaches 30%, sell a portion of the cost; if the increase exceeds 50%, sell 50-70% of the initial position, leaving some to ride the trend; set the remaining position with a "cost protection stop-loss" or raise the stop-loss line.
🎯 Benefit: Even if the coin drops back to the original point, at least you have secured profits and won’t lose it back.
✅ 2. Gradual Selling + Holding to Ride the Trend Method (suitable for swing traders)
📌 For example, if you bought $UNI at 9.3 with a target of 12:
At 10.5: sell 30%, at 11.5: sell another 30%, set a stop-loss line for the remaining 40%, or keep it as a "profit position".
🎯 Where there are green mountains, there’s no fear of not having meat to eat; the key is to timely realize "secured profits".
✅ 3. USDT Re-Entry Method (suitable for active management)
📌 After each profit, forcibly convert the profit portion back to USDT, waiting for a pullback to buy low.
For example: buy DOGE at 0.15 → rises to 0.20, a 33% gain; sell a portion, convert to USDT; if it pulls back to 0.17, re-enter; if it doesn't come back, so be it, at least you retained the profit.
🎯 Locking in profits and waiting for a re-entry in a rhythmic manner is much better than holding dead positions.
❌ Common Misconceptions Among Retail Investors:
"I'll wait to sell, maybe it will go up": Are you predicting the future or securing profits?
"I’ll wait until I break even to sell": Not buying low and not selling high leads to constant losses.
"Small gains are unsatisfying": As a result, big money isn’t made either.
🧠 Final Note: The ability to make money is a skill; the ability to keep money is a strategy.
Regularly withdrawing funds or realizing profits in phases after making money gives yourself a chance to survive.
You don’t have to sell at the highest point every time, but someone must be able to leave with a smile.
