Key Learnings from These Trades
🔹 Timing the dips works… sometimes. Even if you buy what looks like a dip, prices can still drop further.
🔹 Targeting 3-5% profit can be tricky. Price may reverse before reaching the target, leading to adjustments—sometimes settling for 1% instead.
🔹 Aiming for 1-2% profit has a high win rate. But there’s always a risk of getting caught in a loss.
🔹 Buying high can still work. If the market is volatile, even small price swings can lead to quick profits.
🔹 Following market trends and charts helps a lot. But no strategy is foolproof.
🔹 Patience vs. Emotional Selling. Sometimes holding longer can get you profit, but there’s also the risk of losing even more. Stop-loss orders (or manual stops) are key.
Most Profitable Move
📈 Buy: 24-Feb-25 at 0.0000148
📈 Sell: 02-Mar-25 at 0.0000156 (5.4% Profit)
I initially aimed for a quick profit in 1-5 days, but SHIBA had several dips after my entry. By holding instead of panic selling, I eventually secured my profit.
This could happen early—or never happen at all. That’s the risk we take in trading!
