Eight years already.

$BEAT
After so many years in the crypto market, the moment that has stayed etched in my mind wasn’t any time I got liquidated, or any time my position doubled— it was back in 2017, watching a thirty-times unrealized profit slowly turn into ashes, bit by bit, right before my eyes.
I still remember that whole episode very clearly.
I went all-in on a low-cap altcoin, with a cost of less than five cents.
Then it started to rise. A dime, two dimes, five dimes… it kept charging all the way to over a dollar.
The numbers in my account swelled until it made me dizzy. In that period, I even thought through how to spend the down payment on a house.
But you know what?
I didn’t sell a single order.
The pullback came. I told myself: it’s fine, just normal profit-taking and shaking out.
It dropped further. I still felt: the trend hasn’t broken—hold on a bit longer.
Until the price crashed all the way back to two dimes, and my unrealized profit was left with just a small remainder.
That moment was when I truly woke up.
That lesson was way too expensive.
I figured out one principle:
Buying is not the real skill—selling is.
Later, I set rules for myself for taking profit and cutting losses, especially suitable for people who don’t have time to watch the charts all day.
First, taking profit: exit in batches—don’t get greedy.
Let’s say your cost is $1.
When it rises to $2, sell 30% first.
Get your principal back, and your mind will be steady. The rest is just profit running—you’ve got nothing to fear.
If it can climb to $3, then sell another 30%.
For the final portion, don’t keep guessing the top yourself. Just set a trailing take-profit: when the price retraces 15%-20% from the highest point, sell everything automatically.
The advantage of this is: you can catch the whole initial breakout run, and you can also avoid getting caught by the retracement.
It won’t make you spit out the meat you already got in your mouth.
Now cutting losses: first decide how much you’re willing to lose.
My rule for myself is: in a single trade, the maximum loss is 5% of total capital.
After you buy, the first thing isn’t to stare at the K-line—it’s to place a stop-loss order.
Usually set it 8%-10% below your cost.
Don’t feel bad about getting stopped out.
Opportunities are always there in the market— but once your principal is gone, you don’t even have the资格 to sit at the table anymore.
Eight years in, I’ve seen too many stories.
The ones who can truly walk out of this market with money are never the bravest fighters—
they’re the most disciplined.
The market never lacks opportunities.
What it lacks is that kind of cold calm—to be able to decisively press the confirm button when you should sell.
