If you don't take profits when they come, you'll get caught in a trap; only contentment can help you steadily hold onto profits.
I myself have stepped into countless greed traps in my early years. Previously, when trading futures and spot markets, the biggest flaw was: always wanting to make more, never willing to lock in gains.
Once, I positioned myself in the shipping sector, ambushing at a low point, and quickly saw a rally, with very handsome profits on paper.
Clearly reaching a key resistance level, rationality told me to reduce my position, but my inner voice kept fantasizing: it can still surge, break new highs, and I can earn even more if I hold on a bit longer.
Clinging to greed, I made no reduction, nor set a stop-loss. As a result, a big bearish candle suddenly dropped, the shipping sector reversed instantly, and within minutes, most of the profits were wiped out.
I could have calmly taken profits and secured gains, but I stubbornly turned it into a roller coaster ride, and finally, with no choice, I exited with a small loss.
After that experience, I completely woke up: the shipping sector's profits are endless, but once the principal is compromised, it’s very hard to recover.
From then on, I set a rule for myself: don’t chase the absolute high, don’t get caught up in the moment; when the price reaches a critical point, actively reduce your position, leaving a small part to ride the heat, and lock in most profits immediately.
Don’t take the entire shipping trend, only focus on the certain profitable segment.
Gradually, I realized that the less greedy I am, the more stable and longer I can survive.
The market never rewards greed; it only rewards contentment and discipline.
Everyone can see the shipping trend, but few can stick to the rhythm. Follow Brother Li step by step. #比特币站稳8万关口
