Some time ago, I followed the research and earned quite a bit of profit. The threefold return made me decide to take profits and secure my gains. To be honest, the day before yesterday I actually had the chance to double my investment again, but I couldn't resist and sold—it's a bit regrettable, but I only realized later that this decision saved me.

Looking back at the coins I chose, the core logic still holds up. My judgment of their fundamentals is sound, and I still hold two of them in my account, waiting either for them to go to zero completely or for a few times increase in value before making a move.

This time, I finally understood a principle: sometimes, knowing you can't hold on anymore, it's better to set a target and let go rather than frequently trading in and out. Once sold, I stop watching. Anyway, no matter how much I trade, I can't change the market cycle. Instead of stressing over short-term fluctuations, it's better to trust your own judgment.

Tripling your position is a bit conservative, but indeed, just staying alive makes you a winner. Honestly, this move saved your life; you'll understand when the market crashes later. If you can't hold, don't force it. That's true insight. Holding two coins is probably aiming for an extreme market, I can't understand this logic, but some people have definitely made money from it. Frequent trading is just working for the exchange; your awareness is not too late. --- If you've made money, you should exit. Don't be greedy for that last doubling; it's often that last doubling that ruins people. --- Once you exit, don't watch the market anymore. Really, watching the market is the easiest way to regret. --- If the fundamentals are solid and you're still holding two coins, is that confidence in your judgment or gambling psychology? --- That's the difference between retail investors and professionals: knowing when to stop. --- Set your goal and then leave. It's easy to say but hard to do. I always think this way, but end up caught at the top.

Running after 3x returns is easy to say, but mental resilience is the hardest part.

It ran away with 3x, this mental toughness is incredible. I need to learn from it.

3x returns and you run, and still say "saved me"? Haha, this mindset is really something. Securing profits is fine, but I can feel the regret of "missing out on doubling." Holding two coins for extreme situations... Are you gambling or investing? Honestly, I don't quite understand. Setting a target and letting go is easy to say, but when the market takes off, who can really hold back?

Secure your gains with triple returns, not a bad mindset. But to be honest, you're just lucky; if the market hadn't turned around to save you, your mindset would be blown up right now.
