Many people, when trading, think about taking profits after making a little gain, but this often causes them to miss out on bigger opportunities. ETH's recent market movement is no exception. The real issue isn't the amount of capital but mindset—those who always want to turn things around in one shot often end up being the most harshly educated by the market.

My experience is that making profits isn't that complicated. Without relying on luck, it comes down to following rules, having enough patience, and maintaining trading discipline. Many people have been blindly guessing in the market before, but now the opportunity is right in front of you. The key is whether you have the courage to follow your strategy. Stick to your plan, avoid greed, and verify repeatedly—that's the way to make money.

I've seen through this long ago; take profit and stop loss are fundamentally two different things, and many people can't tell the difference. Greed, you know, kills without bloodshed. Sticking to the plan is really difficult. I've experienced countless crashes, and the moment my mindset collapses is the most critical. It sounds good in theory, but when it comes to the crucial moment, isn't it just trembling hands and trading discipline being a joke? I'm also in this ETH wave, but my mind is still uneasy, feeling like I just can't execute it properly.

I knew it, those who sold early are now regretting it deeply. ETH's recent move was truly incredible. I have deep experience with the saying "Follow the rules," but I'm afraid most people simply can't stick to it. Mindset is really the biggest enemy. Cowardly retail investors will never make big money. Still the same advice: stick to the plan, and those greedy ones will be the ones to die.

Taking profits too early really leads to losses; watching the limit-up makes the mindset collapse. Greedy people are always eaten last, and this time ETH is no exception. It's easy to say "follow the rules," but knowing and doing are worlds apart. Mindset is truly the biggest enemy, no doubt. It's easy to follow the plan, but when the market suddenly surges, hands start to shake. Patience? In the crypto world, those two words are just a joke. Relying not on luck but on discipline... I just want to know how many people can really do it. The threshold for making money has never been technology; it's personality.

Basically, greed kills people. I've seen too many people take profits early and then regret it. Mindset is really more important than skills. Following the rules sounds simple, but actually doing it is really hard. If you're still debating whether to sell early or late during this ETH wave, then there's no hope.

Really, why take profits so quickly? Often, you miss out on several times the gains. The rules are correct, but most people can't follow them; it's too difficult to control your mindset. This wave of ETH, indeed, the greedy got chopped, while the steady ones are enjoying the gains.
