The mistake I used to make most often was getting off $FARTCOIN as soon as it started showing profit. Then later I would watch it keep rising and hit myself for it. This time, I went from 0.14279 to 0.15475, and the book profit is up +598.71%—so I’d say I managed to suppress that old habit for once.

Holding it in the middle wasn’t easy either. You’d pull it up, then it would dip again—it felt like it was trying to wash out short-term traders. The hardest part back then wasn’t the loss; it was that even though I had unrealized gains, I kept worrying that in the next second I’d give everything back. If you’ve played with perpetual contracts for long enough, you know that mindset is more tormenting than placing the trade itself.

My approach this time was fairly simple: first, check whether the key levels keep being held. As long as there isn’t a clear sign of things going bad, I won’t panic and get out just because of a single pullback. When the market turned back upward, the outcome gave me the confirmation.

When you’re making money, don’t rush to prove how great you are. First, keep your rhythm. Avoiding making an old mistake once is sometimes more valuable than catching one more swing of volatility.
