Having a solid entry strategy is crucial, but the exit plan? That's where most traders stumble.

I pulled out way too early on this one. Could've easily been looking at 5X returns instead of settling for way less. Classic case of not sticking to the target—fear got in the way of the gains.

The lesson hits different when it's your own capital on the line.

Damn, that's why I keep losing money. As soon as I see it turn red, I want to run away.

Really, it's easy to cut losses but hard to take profits. I often do the same.

To be honest, taking profits is much harder than stopping losses. A shaky hand and it's all gone.

I knew it, taking profits is even harder than cutting losses. A slight shake and it's all gone. --- Almost got a 5x return, but fear took over and won. Truly heartbreaking. --- Only after losing money do you understand these lessons; talking on paper is useless. --- No matter how perfect the entry plan is, execution is key. I often lose at this too. --- The profits killed by fear are greater than any decline, it's heartbreaking. --- Everyone who sells early has this problem. I've seen too many 10x coins manually taken profits on. --- Only when your own money is involved do you realize what greed really is; plans are all just scrap paper.
