The round trip problem

Many traders watch a coin go up 3x and then back to zero because they never sold. A plan made before you buy removes most of that pain.

Sell in parts

A common approach: sell enough to get your starting amount back at 2x, then sell more at each new level. What is left is free to ride.

$0.0012

+$42

Signs to sell

Volume dropping while price stalls, top holders selling, or a room going quiet after a big run are all reasons to lock in some profit.
