💰 The Art of the Exit: Don't Let Greed Turn Your Gold into Dust 📉
In the world of trading, the hardest thing to hit isn't the "Buy" button—it’s the "Sell" button when you’re already in the green. We’ve all been there: your PNL is glowing green, the adrenaline is pumping, and a voice in your head whispers, "Just 5% more, then I’ll exit." That voice isn't your intuition; it’s Greed, and it’s the #1 account killer.
The Golden Rule of the Demon: A trade isn't a "win" until the profit is sitting in your wallet. The market doesn't owe you a moon mission. Prices move in waves, and what goes up fast usually comes down faster. If you don't take your seat at the table and collect your winnings, the market will eventually take them back—with interest.
Strategy Over Emotion:
Plan the Exit: Before you enter, know exactly where you will exit.
Pay Yourself: Taking partial profits at key resistance levels is the secret to long-term survival.
Kill the Ego: It’s better to exit with a 20% gain and watch the price go higher, than to hold for 50% and watch it crash into a loss.
The Takeaway: Bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered. Secure the bag, step away from the screen, and live to trade another day.
