There’s a counterintuitive truth in the trading world: after making a big profit, don’t rush to jump back in.

I’ve seen too many people catch a tenfold coin, and before they even have time to celebrate, they go all in on the next project—only to lose it all back. The smart move? Force yourself to take a break, even if it’s just for 24 hours. Use this time for one thing: look back and figure out what really led to your last win. Did you anticipate a narrative that was about to take off? Or did you just get lucky and catch a wave of market hype?

Understanding this is more important than how much you made. The former can be repeated; the latter will only lead to bigger losses next time.
