The Exit Strategy: Knowing When to Sell
Traders don’t hesitate because they lack tools—they hesitate because they lack conviction. Exchanges bombard them with flashing indicators, market sentiment, and influencer hype, but none of it replaces clarity. What many call “holding” is often hesitation disguised as confidence.
The harsh reality? Most aren’t waiting for profits—they’re waiting for emotional validation. They scroll endlessly, seeking confirmation instead of strategy. The exit isn’t missed due to market surprises—it’s missed because traders surrender their judgment to a crowd equally uncertain.
Markets don’t whisper—they roar past hesitation. If your thesis no longer holds, if your conviction has faded, you’re not investing—you’re drifting. Exit decisions aren’t made in the heat of the moment; they’re forged in advance. Purpose drives action. Anything less is reaction.
Exchanges thrive on delay. They capitalize on indecision, converting uncertainty into trading volume. While you wait for clarity, they collect fees on every tick of your paralysis. The successful don’t chase the perfect moment—they create it. They don’t ask, “Is it time yet?” They know—because they set the terms themselves.
