Take Profits, Not Screenshots đ°
Thereâs a story from one trader called The Cheer Hedge. After years on trading desks, he noticed something strange: whenever a colleague loudly celebrated a winning trade â yelling âYEAH!â or fist-pumping â the trade would reverse almost instantly.
đ The behavior was so consistent that Donnelly began taking the opposite side of those trades. He found that the louder the celebration, the more likely the market had topped or bottomed.
đ€ In trading, emotional climax often signals the end of a move. When someone is so confident they start bragging or shouting, it usually means the majority of the move is already behind them.
đž This is common in crypto. A trader hits 500% profit, posts a screenshot, and the next day the coin dumps đ
This is not about luck or superstition. Itâs about understanding that crowd psychology and emotional signals often reflect peak positioning and risk.
Next time you feel like taking a screenshot to show off a win, stop and ask if itâs time to take profit instead.
đ If you're euphoric, the smart move is to scale out â not double down. Stay disciplined.
