Just a true story.
In March 2024, one of my brothers went all-in on SOL.
He bought in at 38, held for 8 months, and SOL rose to 260.
He originally had $30k in his account.
After 8 months, it turned into $210k.
And then?
He didn't sell.
When it dropped from 260 to 180, he held.
When it fell from 180 to 120, he kept holding.
When it went from 120 to 80, he started to panic and asked me what to do.
I asked, do you still have profit?
He said yes, but "I’m not willing to sell at the highest point."
In the end, he broke even at 76.
From $210k down to $58k.
You might think he's unlucky.
But honestly: he still made $28k.
That's better than 90% of people.
Where did the problem lie?
It’s not the direction, not the entry point.
It’s "treating 260 as if it were his own money."
Floating gains are not your money.
Only when you confirm the position is closed does it count.
Now I have a strict rule for my own trading:
Double your position, sell half first, and let the rest run.
If it flies away, I don’t mind; if it goes higher, it’s a surprise.
This isn’t to teach you trading.
It’s a reminder — the profit in your current position might be gone tomorrow.
