Most traders would double their profits if they obsessed over downside risk as much as they fantasise about upside pumps. Everyone loves projecting how high their portfolio could go… but almost no one spends the same energy asking how low it might go. And that’s exactly why so many people round trip. If you flipped your mindset and started mapping worst case scenarios with the same excitement you map upside targets, your entire approach would change. You’d size positions differently. You’d stop overexposing yourself. You’d avoid coins with terrible liquidity. You’d stop gambling. You’d stop over leveraging. You’d actually stay in the game long enough to win. Protecting downside isn’t bearish it’s discipline and it’s the only reason consistent traders survive every cycle, while everyone else round trips gains. Trade like someone who wants to be here in 5 years, not someone who needs the next pump to save their life.
