#TAPROOT# The Best Advice I Ever Received from a Professional Trader (And Why It Changed Everything) 🚀

When I started trading, I was excited - building my portfolio, buying coins, and dreaming of big returns. I thought I was doing well until I talked to a friend who has been a successful trader for years.
“What is your profit-taking strategy?” he asked.
I said, “I still don't know.”
He looked at me incredulously and said, 'So you're going to fail. You can't just buy and hold. What's your plan - 2x, 3x? What's your exit strategy? I don't see one, and that's a problem.'
His words hurt because they were harsh, but they hit the truth right on the nose.
🔥 What I Learned (The Hard Way)
💰 1. Always Have a Profit Goal 🎯
If you are buying without knowing when to take profit, you are setting yourself up for emotional decisions later.
✅ Example: When I bought Ethereum $ETH , I set a target to sell part of my position at ×2 and followed that plan. This saved me from doubting during price drops.
📉 2. Sell Gradually, Don't Wait for the Peak ⬆️
No one sells perfectly at the top. It's better to take profits in parts.
💡 Tip: Take 25-30% of your position when you reach 1.5x or 2x gains. I applied this when trading Cardano $ADA, and it helped me secure profits even with market fluctuations.
🧘 3. Have a Plan for Every Scenario 📊
What if the currency doubles? What if it drops by 50%? Write your plan and stick to it.
✅ Chainlink $LINK is a solid project that I hold long-term, but still set profit goals in case of a sudden increase.
💭 The Conclusion: The direct advice from my friend saved me from countless bad decisions. Trading is not just buying—it's knowing when and how to take profits.
