Most beginners do the opposite of what works:
â Cut winners too early
â Hold onto losing trades in hope
â Exit as soon as theyâre âin profitâ â even if itâs $5
But smart traders?
They ride their winners and cut losers fast.
Letâs fix that â step by step đ
âž»
đ€Ż Why You Struggle to Hold Winners
âą Fear of giving profits back
âą Greedy for fast gains
âą Lack of a clear take-profit plan
If you donât know where your TP is before you enterâŠ
Youâll probably exit too early. Or panic when price pulls back.

đŻ Step-by-Step: Setting Realistic Profit Targets with ATR
ATR (Average True Range) shows how much a coin normally moves.
Letâs say:
âą $SUI has an ATR of $0.08 on the 4H chart
âą You enter at $1.00 on a strong bounce setup
â Realistic TP = $1.08 to $1.12
(1â1.5x ATR range)
This gives you enough room to hold without choking the trade early.
đ Add ATR to your chart on Binance or TradingView.
It helps quantify potential instead of guessing.

đȘ Try This on $SUI or $1000
âą $SUI: Respectable volatility, good for intraday swings
âą $1000: Trending, with healthy ATR bounce setups
Set TP based on ATR + structure
Use a trail stop if price goes into profit zone
â That way, you lock gains without capping them

đ§ How to Build the Patience to Hold:
1. Zoom Out
Look at the higher timeframes. Is your setup still valid?
2. Move Stop to Entry Once in Profit
â Now itâs a free trade. Breathe.
3. Trail Your Stop Below HLs (Higher Lows)
â Let price breathe while staying protected
4. Visualize the Full Target
Before you enter, write your TP level. Stick to it.
5. Use a Trading Journal
Track every time you exited early. Learn from the missed gains.

đĄ Final Tip:
âYour winners pay for your losses.
Donât kill them before they do their job.â
One good trade with full TP = better than 5 scalps with emotion.
Train your mind to hold strength, not panic in profit đ
