Here's the thing about breakout trades on heavy volume—many traders bail out too early and leave money on the table. You see the volume spike, the price breaks resistance, and panic takes over. So they close positions thinking they've already won. Meanwhile, the real move is just getting started. Retail traders don't seem bothered by this pattern, repeating the same mistake over and over. The difference between winners and amateurs? Patience. Holding through the noise.

Only after losing do you understand; those who run at the first breakthrough are all amateurs.

To be honest, I've experienced this myself—after a false breakout and a quick surge, I saw the gains were decent, so I quickly sold, and then it took off directly afterward... Just for reference.

At the moment I was eager to take profits, I knew this guy was going to get hurt. The market was just warming up.

Just can't hold on, seeing green makes me want to run. Actually, that's a signal from the main players, but retail investors take it as the end point.

Handshake and run, always missing out on big opportunities—that's the fate of retail investors.

That's right, too many people around me are getting cut like this. When trading volume surges, they think it's time to run, but in reality, it's just the beginning.
