Taking profits

Unrealized gains are not gains.

Green is not money. A position up 400% is a number on a screen. It becomes money only when you sell. Most memecoins give back the whole move within hours.

Decide before you buy. Write the plan first: for example, sell half at 2×, a quarter at 4×, let the rest ride. Then follow it when it happens, not when it feels right.

Take out your initial. A simple, strong rule: at 2× sell half. You now hold the rest for free. Whatever happens next cannot hurt your account.

Fees on the way out. Selling costs the same fees as buying, plus price impact if the pool is thin. Check the receipt: the number you keep is smaller than the number on the chart.

Your record shows the truth. The strategy page compares your realized P&L with what you tagged. If you never take profit, it will show up as big green positions that ended red.
