Before sharing your trading card, think about your exit plan
As the market warms up, the content of trading cards is getting more attractive, but before that, ask yourself one question: what is my exit plan? Entering without a plan for taking profits or cutting losses is no different from gambling with luck. This is especially true for altcoins — their rapid gains can double your investment quickly, but their drops can also instantly wipe out profits. A practical framework: set three take-profit levels when entering the market, lock in some profits after the first level is reached, reduce positions after the second target is achieved, and leave a small position to chase excess gains. Taking profits doesn’t mean you’re bearish on the market; it’s about protecting existing profits while participating in subsequent trends. In this recent altcoin rebound, the hardest part isn’t catching the gains, but holding onto them.
