i'm someone that sings the virtues of taking profit systematically, relentlessly, and early.
that said, there's no worse trading mistake i see,
than someone who buys a coin during some portion of the frozen wasteland two year long altcoin bear market we've survived,
and that coin finally starts to do well,
and goes "wow, after countless days of agony, doubt, and patience, the market is validating my thesis. let me respond to that by instantly smothering 1/3 of my profit potential in the cradle during what could be day 1 of a 400+ day long bull market"
"taking initials" is prob one of the most -EV thing you can do in most situations in the early innings of a bull market
