Recently reviewed a trade, and I still feel a bit unsatisfied.

I initially invested 80U to open a position, planning to hold it long-term. But when the price rose to 0.06, I started to panic — I only reduced 75% of the position, keeping 20U in hand to continue holding. That 20U eventually earned nearly 300U, which isn’t too bad.

But the problem is: if I had held onto that 80U and kept it until now, the rough estimate shows I could have made over 1000U in profit. That’s the difference.

Looking back, it’s really a mindset issue. When watching the gains grow from small to large, it’s easy to get impatient. Once the set target is broken, I start looking for reasons to exit. Sometimes it’s fear of a retracement, sometimes it’s seeing short-term gains and wanting to lock in profits. But in this market, the more you think like that, the more likely you are to miss the real opportunity.

The lesson this time is: set your stop-loss and take-profit points in advance, and don’t let short-term price fluctuations sway you. Greed is not good, and being timid is also not good — the key is to establish your rules before entering the trade, not during the market.
