Let’s be real: one of the biggest mistakes I made in my trading journey was falling in love with my coins. I got greedy, kept holding, and didn’t sell when I should have. I watched solid gains disappear, all because I was waiting for that magical 10x.
Don’t make the same mistake.
Here’s what happened to me:
$SOL went from $106 → $270, then crashed back to $106 🤡
$DOGE jumped from $0.18 → $0.40, then dropped right back
$PEPE pumped to $0.000016, then got cut in half like a sushi roll
The lesson? A pump isn’t forever. Lock in your gains while you have them.
🔑 6 Simple Profit-Taking Rules That Actually Work
1. Plan Your Exit Ahead of Time
Decide your sell points early—like +25%, +50%, +100%.
Set limit orders so you don’t have to think twice later.
2. Take Profits in Chunks
Instead of selling everything at once, sell in parts:
Maybe 30% at +25%, 30% at +50%, and the rest at +100%.
That way, you’re locking in profits and staying in the game.
3. Use Trailing Stop-Losses
Trailing stops help you protect gains automatically.
You don’t have to watch charts all day.
4. Rebuy Smart, Not with FOMO
After taking profits, wait for dips—usually 10–20%—to get back in.
Patience beats panic.
5. Don’t Go All In on One Coin
Keep each position to less than 10% of your total portfolio.
Spread your risk: blue chips, memecoins, L2s, real-use projects.
6. Review Monthly, No Exceptions
Check your gains, rebalance, and move profits into stablecoins when altcoins feel overheated.
Remember, bull runs don’t last forever—bags don’t always bounce back.
