Looking back, I should've taken profits when I had the chance. It's that familiar sting every trader knows—watching a winning position turn sideways while you're waiting for the next moonshot. The hardest part isn't spotting gains, it's actually closing the trade when emotions tell you to hold just a little longer. That gap between knowing when and actually doing it? That's where most of us leave money on the table.

This is a typical case of permission control failure; psychological vulnerabilities are even more deadly than code vulnerabilities. Knowing the take-profit point but being unable to execute it is just as dangerous as a contract lacking integer overflow checks, and in the end, it's all lessons learned at a high cost.

Greed is really the poison in trading; knowing when to take profits is a hundred times harder than chasing the rise.

Greed really is the killer of trading; knowing when to take profits and actually pressing the sell button are two completely different things.

Greed is our biggest enemy. Knowing we should take profits but still gambling, and ultimately suffering heavy losses.
