If your order closed with a profit but the price kept rising, the classic beginner’s mistake is to feel disappointed and regret not holding on for longer. Remember: you’ve already locked in a profit, and that’s what matters most.
If your stop-loss was triggered, taking you out of a trade with a small loss, and then the price soared — don’t dwell on it. Serious trading offers countless opportunities to re-enter the market and make a profit. Instead, analyze what happened: should you have entered at a lower level, set a wider stop-loss, or perhaps averaged your position?
Every situation requires its own analysis, and each evaluation helps you gain experience and increase the chances of success in future trades.
Don’t regret — analyze! Experiment with different approaches, refine your skills, and stay committed to your path to success! $BTC #BTC
The best opportunities for practicing scalping are currently on #ACT and #PNUT High volumes and the involvement of many traders create volatility, while predictable support and resistance zones help pinpoint buy and sell points.
Have fun with it, but don’t get carried away—keep your risk low, use only a small portion of your capital, set stop-losses, and remember that there’s always another chance as long as you have your capital intact. $ACT $PNUT
Greed vs. Common Sense 🤯 #PNUT The coin’s growth is incredible! Hold or short? It’s up to each person to decide based on their own experience and intuition. I can only wish you all the best of luck! ✊🏻 $PNUT
Is scalping worth it? There’s quite a bit of talk around the coin #ACT I see high trading volumes, strong volatility, and a lack of market dependency. The price moves based on traders’ actions. This might be one of those moments to allocate a small part of the deposit and try scalping. It’s a risky game, but if approached as a form of entertainment and with proper risk management, it could be worth a try without risking too much of the deposit.
Will Bitcoin’s price drop soon? Your votes were nearly evenly split, so it’s hard to say for sure, but I’m leaning toward a downward trend. I’m keeping an eye on the market and news updates. $BTC #BTC
Yesterday, watching the market, I saw that prices for most altcoins had surged. At times like these, it feels like everything you invest in is growing fast—as long as you avoid entering at the peak and remember that prices can drop just as swiftly.
My intuition led me to check coins that were underperforming in this rising market, showing negative growth indicators.
The first was #OG This coin’s chart shows sharp price spikes followed by equally rapid pullbacks. Within a day of watching it, the price surged and then fell back with a 10% swing.
The second was #HARD This coin frequently experiences daily price swings ranging from 4% to 30%. During my observation, it gained more than 30% in just a few hours.
The takeaway is that in an overbought market, it’s worth paying attention to underperformers with growth potential, rather than buying coins that have already peaked. Once again, I was reminded that intuition is one of our most valuable forms of knowledge. Do you listen to and trust your inner voice? $OG $HARD
Greed. This is a common challenge for traders, especially after closing a trade with a profit, only to see the market keep rising. It can feel like the trade was closed too early, that there was potential to earn more. This often leads to self-doubt and the urge to re-enter, despite basic trading principles advising against it—especially when the price is already at a peak.
Typically, peak prices hold for only a few days, and the missed profit potential might be around 3-10%. It’s challenging to resist entering trades at these highs, particularly when prices reach all-time highs (ATH). But it’s essential to keep a cool head and remember that buying at a peak carries a high risk of capital loss. Often, prices pull back before any new growth, offering better entry opportunities later.
Stay grounded in the fundamentals, avoid giving in to destructive emotions, and act logically and consistently.
Using the examples of $WLD and $MEME , I’ll demonstrate how the strategy of catching falling knives works and how to reduce the risk of losing your capital.
First, it’s essential to set your buy order correctly. By analyzing various timeframes (1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day), you can identify support levels where the price is likely to bounce.
Second, once the order is triggered, place a stop-loss in case the price continues to drop.
Third, consider the price trend direction and set orders according to the strength of that trend. #WLD #MEME
What to do when you’ve entered a trade, the coin has gone up, and you already have a profit, but you’re afraid the price might go down, causing you to lose your profit and capital?
1. Take your profit. 👍🏻 You’ll feel satisfaction from securing your profit. 👍🏻 You’ll have the funds available to enter a new trade. 👎🏻 The coin’s price might keep rising, and you may regret selling too early.
2. Set a stop-loss close to the current price to sell the coin with a profit if the price drops. 👍🏻 Guaranteed profit from the trade if the price goes down. 👍🏻 Potential for the coin’s price to continue rising, increasing your profit. 👎🏻 Disappointment if the price hits your stop-loss and then starts to rise again.
3. Set a stop-loss close to the purchase price and wait for the coin’s price to continue rising. 👍🏻 Local price fluctuations won’t trigger the stop-loss, and your profit will increase as the coin’s price rises. 👎🏻 There’s a chance of ending up without profit if the price falls back to the original level, making the wait meaningless.
You can use these scenarios even within a single trade. Keep an eye on the market, follow news and trends, and most importantly, trust your intuition.
