That gut punch when you exit early. You catch a decent pump, think you've nailed the timing, take profit—and then the chart just keeps climbing. Watching the candles shoot up while your position's already closed hits different. Every trader's been there: second-guessing the exit, wondering if you left gains on the table. It's not about missing the moon; it's about that moment when the market proves your timing wasn't as sharp as you thought. The chart move validates what could've been. These are the trades that teach you more than the winners sometimes—they rewrite how you think about take-profit levels and conviction. That's crypto trading in a nutshell: precision meets psychology.

The earliest orders are the hardest to handle. Watching the K-line skyrocket really tests your mental state.

I should have held on from the start; this feeling is truly unbeatable.

Here it comes again, this feeling really makes people uncomfortable... Taking early profits and watching it soar, I learned more from this drop than I did from the gains.

Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have been greedy and reduced my position. Watching the K-line continue to rise, I really want to smash the screen.

If I had known earlier, I would have taken profits. That's why I dislike taking profits.
