i understand the temptation to take profit on hype or zec here. you've finally hit a good trade, the coins have outperformed everything else in the market and made up for losses elsewhere the immediate mid IQ thought is that you should take profit from your good trade to balance out your bad investments, then just buy the dip when it goes lower but has that worked for you before? trying to time the market and become a trader. are you a good trader? relative strength in a bad market will likely translate to outperformance in a bull market, winners average winners im happy enough with my entries and unless i think the top is in, i have no intention of selling. selling in an effort to buy back lower mid-cycle is what creates the what ifs that haunt you for years i wouldn't be surprised if we go lower, but i would be surprised if we don't go much higher at some point in the future. that r:r for me is enough to avoid hitting the sell button, especially as the realised profit wouldn't change my life in any meaningful way if you sold at $75 before, do you think you would have bought back at $52? if you sell now, how would you avoid being sidelined forever? it's much better to ask yourself these questions before you hit the sell button another good question is if you actually do believe in it, because if you're on borrowed conviction then you're only a few red candles away from selling anyway so maybe you should, or reinforce your conviction and hold over a long enough timeframe, stupid bears outperform smart bulls and i like to increase my likelihood of making money even if im stupid

extremely tough times for those who don't own zec or hype think if you only own one you can cope well but missing both must be pretty tough happens to the best of us, and there's plenty more opportunity to come. don't beat yourself up too much
