The account challenge starting from 20,000 USDT has now grown to 79,000 USDT, and the growth is quite good. However, my recent feeling is—it's time to take profits decisively.

For example, the previous order of 7,800 USDT, which was locked in for profit in a timely manner. Although the market may continue to rise afterward, don't be greedy. The market makers' favorite tactic at this time is to shake out retail traders' stop-losses and psychological defenses. They create fake breakouts and false signals just to wash out investors who are not firm enough.

I've seen too many people lose profits right before their eyes. A safer approach is: set your target price and execute it. Don't be fooled by short-term fluctuations, especially in a clear upward trend, where it's easier to be confused.

And the ultimate goal of 500,000 USDT is still in front of us. No need to rush to become rich overnight; take it slow.

7.9K and still talking about taking it slow, I really give up. Some people have already gone all-in and got liquidated. --- With this mindset, reaching 500K, I believe it. --- Not to mention anything else, timely profit-taking really hits the mark. I've seen too many greedy people lose everything on the last trade. --- The market maker's manipulation of the shakeout is right, but honestly, most people can't hold their target price. --- From 20K to 79K, with this growth rate, I would have thought it was enough, and I was still aiming for 500K. --- The worst thing is when profits are about to be realized but are locked in by the opposite side. That point is so true. --- Alright, set your target price and stop watching the market. Watching the market often leads to trouble.

79,000 USDT, not bad, but this pace has me a bit confused... Can you really resist the temptation of greed? --- I've heard too many times about the market maker's washout tricks. The problem is, by the time you react, it's usually too late. --- I've seen too many people go from winners to losers because of greed, I believe that. --- A target of 500,000 sounds quite distant, but gradually accumulating is definitely more stable; there's no rush. --- The key is still mindset. Stick to the planned take-profit levels; that's the hardest part. --- Fake breakouts, false signals—these tricks are hard to guard against. Sometimes, cashing out decisively is much more reassuring than chasing highs. --- From 20,000 to 79,000, I've already made quite a profit. Now it's about whether I can maintain this mindset. --- It's true that the upward trend is the easiest to be fooled by. I've fallen for this several times. --- Set your target and go for it. Don't let short-term fluctuations disrupt your rhythm. In plain terms, this is a test. --- Greed is truly the biggest enemy of retail investors. Sometimes, knowing when to stop is the winning mentality.

It's already 79,000 and you're still hesitating; greed really can backfire. --- Exactly, you just can't watch profits shrink passively; that feeling is terrible. --- This wave of mindset building is pretty good; it's much more comfortable than those who go all-in expecting doubling. --- The key is execution; setting a proper take-profit point can really save your life. --- A target of 500,000 sounds quite ambitious; stay steady and avoid crashing. --- The manipulator's washout tactics are indeed annoying; fake breakouts can fool a lot of people each time. --- The speed from 20,000 to 79,000 is pretty good; greed might wipe it all out in one go. --- Everyone understands the saying "lock in profits," but the real challenge is actually not chasing the rise. --- I lost everything because I was greedy once; I went straight back to square one. Your mindset is solid.

It's really important to remind yourself repeatedly to take profits and secure gains, otherwise you might get caught up in the market fluctuations. Greed is a common flaw among retail investors. Watching profits slip away just when they are about to be realized is heartbreaking. If your goal is clear, don't mess around. Take profits when it's time, only then will you feel at ease. The market makers are playing this game, creating fake breakouts to shake out retail investors. I see through it. From 20,000 to 79,000, we need to stay steady in the future. 500,000 is not a dream. Don't be fooled by short-term fluctuations. Sticking to your plan is more important than anything else. I've also experienced moments of quick success followed by a total loss. That feeling is so bittersweet. In an uptrend, it's easiest to get carried away. At this time, you need to stay calm and rational. You can't become rich overnight; gradual progress is the true way to make money. Set your stop-loss and take-profit levels properly and don't move them randomly. Is that okay?

I've seen too many people fall short at the last moment, and you're absolutely right. The key is mindset—don't be greedy. --- Going from 20,000 to 79,000 is indeed impressive, but the next goal of 500,000 requires more patience. --- The principle of taking profits and securing gains is simple, but executing it is the hardest part. --- The tricks used by market makers are limited, yet retail investors always love to dive in. --- Set your take-profit levels and then exit—there's really nothing to overthink. --- It's easiest to be shaken out during a rally, I have deep experience with this... --- Having clear targets makes things much easier; don't spend all day watching K-line charts and drive yourself crazy. --- Fake breakouts are the most annoying; many people get fooled and get out of the market. --- Take it slow, don't rush. This is a long-term game.

Yes, this understanding is really strong. Even after more than 70,000, I can still hold without greed, much clearer than most people. It's easy to say "take profits and be safe," but really doing it is very difficult. I've seen countless times where "just a little longer" ends up trapping people. The target is 500,000. Let's roll slowly; there's no need to rush. This round's manipulator tactics are really ruthless. The fake breakout move is hard to defend against.
