Well said

Most people know how to buy.
Very few know how to sell, that’s why they end up holding the same bags through entire cycles and wondering what went wrong.

If you want to survive this market long-term, you need a framework that removes emotion from exits.

Here’s the simplest strategy that actually works:

1. Always pre-define your exit levels before entering

If you buy without knowing:
• where you’ll take partial profit
• where you’ll take majority profit
• where you’ll cut a loss

…you’ve already lost. Mark the levels on the chart the moment you enter.

2. Scale out, don’t “all-out”

Trying to top-tick a move is how you end up holding the full bag back down.

A clean model:
• Sell 25% at first major resistance
• Sell 25% on breakout extension
• Hold the remaining 50% only if the trend is still intact

This way you lock profits while still being in the game.

3. Use strength to sell, not weakness

If you wait for red candles to exit, you’ll panic and sell bottoms.

Train yourself to take profits on green candles into resistance.

4. Respect the trend

Simple rule:

• Above 20-MA → hold

• Below 20-MA → start reducing exposure

• Breakdown + retest = exit completely

No emotions.

No hopium.

Structure decides.

5. Don’t turn trades into investments

If your plan was a trade and you’re suddenly “long-term bullish”…
you’re coping. Close it.

6. Re-enter if you must

Exiting doesn’t mean you missed the move.

If the chart sets up again, you can always buy again.

That’s how pros trade.
