How to lock profits early

Opened a leveraged position at $133.67 using 25.99x multiplier. Market moved to $134.86—solid gain so far.

Here's the key: Stop loss immediately adjusted to $133.90. This means no matter what happens next, we're walking away with profit. The downside is capped.

Target take profit sits at $136.56. That's roughly 2% from entry to final exit.

This is textbook position management—tight stops protect gains, wider targets let winners run. Worked well on this trade.

25.99x leverage to play this? Brother, are you really daring? --- Stop loss changed to $133.90, this is the move of a veteran. --- Tight stop loss with wide target, this logic repeatedly makes money. --- A 2% target is a bit conservative, but maximum stability. --- Being able to survive with 25x leverage already means you’ve won haha. --- This move is flawless, risk control is excellent. --- I really want to open leverage again... I must hold back. --- The key is execution, most people know but can't do it. --- Choosing $133.90 as the position is very deliberate. --- Another textbook case of perfect position management.

Playing with 26x leverage takes real guts, but moving the stop-loss is definitely steady. Locking in profits feels great.

26x leverage and still talking about risk restrictions? That mindset is really something else.

Playing this with 26x leverage, to put it simply, it's a gamble that the exchange won't crash. Moving the stop-loss to 133.90 sounds safe, but have you considered the liquidity risk? Lessons from history—like the March 12 incident—show that no matter how perfect the mechanism design is, it's all useless in the face of market gaps.

This stop-loss setting is a bit aggressive. What if a waterfall happens?

Playing with such small fluctuations using 26x leverage... Are you really not afraid of liquidation with just one finger?

Playing with 26x leverage and such tight stop-losses, aren't you afraid of getting wiped out instantly by a small spike?
