It's easier said than done to take profits when they're there.

I met a friend who turned an initial capital of 100,000 USD into 500,000, but was still not satisfied and insisted on reaching 1,000,000. What happened next? A wave of correction nearly wiped out the initial capital. I've heard too many of these stories, but when it comes to oneself, reason disappears.

I have also experienced a loss. During the bull market in 2021, my assets tripled in two months, and every day I woke up to green candlesticks. What was I thinking at that time? "With this market trend, if I hold on a bit longer, I can definitely make more profit." As a result, the market turned, and I lost half of my profits.

It was only after that time that I understood a principle – profit can be addictive. Earning the first 10,000 dollars can make you happy for a week, but making 50,000 might only make you happy for a day. Desire is something that never ends.

Now I have set a rule for myself: decide on a target number before entering the market, and leave once it is reached, never dragging my feet. This "target" varies from person to person; some aim for doubling their investment, while others aim for a 30% profit. The key is to set it in advance.

Playing with cryptocurrencies is ultimately about improving life, not about who has the largest account balance. The truly skilled traders are not the ones who earn the most, but the ones who know when to stop.

What is your target profit? It's advisable to write it down somewhere. When you reach that number, don't hesitate, withdraw and leave. Market opportunities are available every day, but the principal is only one.
