Locked in gains on that BTC long earlier. Moved stops up to entry once partial profits hit—no reason to give back what's already banked.
Market's been all over the place. When price action gets messy like this, tighten up risk. Break-even stops let you stay in the game without sweating every wick.

Really, quitting while you're ahead is always the right move. I just worry that some people get greedy and end up losing even more in the end.

break-even stops hit different when volatility's jumping around like this ngl... seen too many people get liquidated chasing that last 5% when they shoulda just locked it in. risk management isn't sexy but it keeps your stack intact fr

This technique is brilliant—moving the stop loss to the break-even point is the hallmark of a prudent trader.

This is what professional trading looks like; locking in profits really has to be done this way.

Take profit and move the stop loss—this is how the pros play.

This move is indeed steady; trailing stop-losses are exactly for situations where what you fear comes true.
