Most beginners do the opposite of what works:
❌ Cut winners too early
❌ Hold onto losing trades in hope
❌ Exit as soon as they’re “in profit” — even if it’s $5
But smart traders?
They ride their winners and cut losers fast.
Let’s fix that — step by step 👇
⸻
🤯 Why You Struggle to Hold Winners
• Fear of giving profits back
• Greedy for fast gains
• Lack of a clear take-profit plan
If you don’t know where your TP is before you enter…
You’ll probably exit too early. Or panic when price pulls back.

🎯 Step-by-Step: Setting Realistic Profit Targets with ATR
ATR (Average True Range) shows how much a coin normally moves.
Let’s say:
• $SUI has an ATR of $0.08 on the 4H chart
• You enter at $1.00 on a strong bounce setup
✅ Realistic TP = $1.08 to $1.12
(1–1.5x ATR range)
This gives you enough room to hold without choking the trade early.
📌 Add ATR to your chart on Binance or TradingView.
It helps quantify potential instead of guessing.
⸻
🪙 Try This on $SUI or $1000
• $SUI: Respectable volatility, good for intraday swings
• $1000: Trending, with healthy ATR bounce setups
Set TP based on ATR + structure
Use a trail stop if price goes into profit zone
→ That way, you lock gains without capping them

🧘 How to Build the Patience to Hold:
1. Zoom Out
Look at the higher timeframes. Is your setup still valid?
2. Move Stop to Entry Once in Profit
→ Now it’s a free trade. Breathe.
3. Trail Your Stop Below HLs (Higher Lows)
→ Let price breathe while staying protected
4. Visualize the Full Target
Before you enter, write your TP level. Stick to it.
5. Use a Trading Journal
Track every time you exited early. Learn from the missed gains.
⸻
💡 Final Tip:
“Your winners pay for your losses.
Don’t kill them before they do their job.”
One good trade with full TP = better than 5 scalps with emotion.
Train your mind to hold strength, not panic in profit 🔐
⸻
📌 Practice this mindset today.
Mark a TP zone based on ATR.
Let your next winner breathe.
