The most important point in trading is to learn how to take profits first. No matter how much your account can grow, once you reach a certain profit, you must decisively withdraw, whether it's 1,000 dollars or tens of thousands. Don't always think about doubling or tenfolding your investment; that will only add pressure to yourself. Actually, there are no invincible champions in the market. When you win, you should know how to profit; when you lose, you must accept it calmly. The key is to leave yourself a way out. Always keep some cash reserves on hand, so even if the market is unfavorable, you can maintain a stable mindset. Never put all your assets into cryptocurrencies, as that makes it easier to be led by the market and prevents you from making rational decisions.

According to on-chain data statistics, the profit-taking ratio is positively correlated with account survival rate at 0.87—this article really hits the point. --- Exactly, the proportion of cash reserves in capital allocation should be maintained between 30-50%, which can significantly reduce the probability of liquidation based on historical drawdown data. --- A risk warning: irrational decisions caused by an all-in mentality account for over 68% of trading losses. This logic is sound. --- From a psychological perspective, profit-taking anxiety patients tend to have lower returns—maintaining a stable mindset is the key to breaking through. --- Data shows that users who persist in withdrawing have a survival cycle 4.3 times longer than those who go all-in. Simple and crude but effective. --- The key is to have an exit mechanism; don't wait until the market reverses to regret. This article discusses the primary importance of risk control.

That's right, you really have to be ruthless when it comes to taking profits. If I had known about this trick earlier, I would have already cashed out. Greed harms people. Having cash in hand feels more secure; don't let the coin price lead you around by the nose. Ten times the profit? Dream on. First, protect the principal. That hit me right in the heart. I always want to go all in, but end up getting trapped so tightly.

That's right, taking profits is really difficult, it's just greed at work. Seeing the account turn green makes you want to keep bottom-fishing, but in the end, you often lose everything. Holding cash is the key, otherwise you'll really become a leek. After this market trend, I realize that staying alive is much more important than making money. The dream of doubling your investment can be deadly; withdrawing steadily is the smarter move.

That's right, greed is the biggest killer in trading. I totally agree with this statement; take profits is really underestimated. It reminds me of my friend, who made 50% profit in one shot but insisted on waiting for a double, and ended up losing everything. People who lose their minds are probably because they have no backup plan. That's how I am now—take some profit and run, much more comfortable.

That's so true, taking profits is really an art. I deeply understand the hesitation to go all-in; maintaining a stable mindset is so important. Dreaming of tenfold gains is best to avoid; reality is cruel. Having no cash reserves in hand is truly a suicidal move. Win and then run—that's the real art of staying alive.
