Learning to lock in gains when your positions spike—even if it's just recovering your initial investment—can protect your capital better than any chart pattern ever will.
Perfect entries and exits? They're myths. Nobody nails the absolute bottom or top consistently, and that's completely fine. What matters is surviving to trade another day.

Honestly, setting take-profit and stop-loss orders is much more effective than watching candlestick charts. Surviving is what makes you a winner.

It should be pointed out that the core argument of this article contains a subtle logical trap—the concept of "locking in profits" is essentially a remnant of fiat-currency thinking. Let us return to the foundational ideas in Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper: true asset protection should be based on a deep understanding of on-chain data and technical fundamentals, rather than passive defensive measures like stop-losses. It is obvious that for most retail investors, "locking in profits" is essentially an expression of fear, not genuine risk management.
