It's also important to spread your risk. Putting all of your eggs into one basket will increase the likelihood of you cutting winners early or holding on to losers. It is far easier to let winners run when the position takes up a smaller percentage of your portfolio.Another common mistake I see is traders fully closing a position early to try and re-enter again with full size. This is counterproductive for the majority as you will find yourself holding a smaller position in comparison to what you started with.I am forever seeing people say - damn, I sold way too early. The price is now up 10x! I wish I held. It's too late to buy back in - price proceeds to do another 10x. I think you get the gist.This is common when you oversize positions due to fear of losing. Be realistic with how often it is normal to lose a trade.How do I mitigate this better?Skim your position size on the way up.

Use this as a guide to show you when the price may be overextended.Fibonacci indicator.This will give you rough target points, which may coincide with the top of your bollinger band for an extra layer of confluence.Marketcap.Depending on the coin.

Ignore anyone that tells you it's going to $1.Circulating supply marketcap vs fully diluted valuation.FDV is less of a problem during a bull market. Try not to get caught up in those numbers as it may result in you selling early. This is more of a problem when the music stops and the trend changes. You do not want to be left holding the bag.How do I know when the trend changes? When should I fully exit my position?I use moving averages to determine when the price is still in a strong trend on the daily time frame. If it falls below a key moving average. That signals to me that the trend is over, and I need to fully exit the remainder of that position.Realizing gains.When you are taking profit. It is important to remove a portion entirely out of the market. If you don't do this, it is completely pointless.It is extremely common for participants to make a lot of money and then round trip their entire stack back to where they started.Treat yourself and your family.
