The 'Fumbled PnL' concept never gets old in crypto trading.
Recently watched traders who locked in 2x gains explaining their regret over missing $2m+ on $WHITEWHALE. It's brutal. The market has a way of showing everyone's true colors—especially when it comes to risk management.
This is where strategy matters most. Some traders set their take-profit levels, stick to the plan, and take their wins. Others keep accumulating, riding the volatility, willing to hold for bigger moves. Neither approach is wrong, but they reveal completely different mindsets.
The gap between securing profits on the table versus chasing bigger gains? That's where most traders stumble. When you ape into a coin, you already make a choice: Is this a trade or a thesis? Your answer determines everything.

2x is enough? I don't believe it. Those people are actually still regretting it.

NGL, people who run with 2x leverage just see a 2 million return as a psychological issue. Honestly, it's just a greed index test.

Can't bear to sell at 2x, greed really can kill you.

2x is enough? I must be crazy
FOMO really can kill people
Selling too early, the mindset explodes, this is the magic of crypto
Is setting a take profit really that difficult?
When trading, just trade; when thesis, just thesis. The key is to think it through
Small profit or big loss, pick one... I can't decide
