Market fluctuations have occurred, and it's time to consider taking profits. This move was publicly announced on the plaza, and a 1.2x return has already been achieved. There's little need to continue holding.

Instead of greedily waiting for a pullback to re-enter, it's better to lock in the current profits. A pullback may indeed happen, but rather than betting on future opportunities, it's wiser to hold onto the gains already made. This is true profit.

For those who have already opened positions, the signal to take profit is quite clear. Missing this wave doesn't have to be frustrating—there will be chances to re-enter later. The real issue is that if you can't even seize such opportunities, there's no need to keep immersing yourself in contract trading. Instead of risking your head, why not look back at spot trading? A more conservative strategy often allows for longer survival.

1.2x and you're out? That's a bit conservative, brother. I want to hold a bit longer. But on the other hand, this time you really should be cautious. The real danger is greed leading to being caught. If you don't understand contracts, don't play with them. That's the truth. Spot trading is good, isn't it? It's stable, but it lacks that excitement. You're right, living is more important than anything. If your account blows up, everything else is pointless.

1.2x leverage to run? That's too conservative, I think there's still a chance for a surge. Spot trading is spot trading, but who can resist the thrill of breaking news... That's right, greed kills people. I've already reduced my position. Taking profits is never wrong, but I'm afraid of chasing high during a pullback. Hey, has anyone really caught this wave? Feels like I'm always a step late. Futures trading is a gambler's game; surviving is winning. Locked in at 1.2x, comfortable, no more hesitation.

1.2x and then run? I want to be greedy a little more, but after you said that, I got a bit panicked haha Can't beat fate, better to secure the profits and be safe It's that same steady approach again... I just want to ask, has anyone really survived two cycles of bull and bear markets following this? Handshake, finally I listened this time, let's lock in the profits first Contract traders are being educated, hilarious This logic indeed has no flaws, but people are prone to greed Getting out at 1.2x is too亏 (loss), can it reach 3x later? Take profit is a word that really hits me in the heart

1.2x and I'm out, I really think that's a bit conservative Speaking of which, greed is indeed the killer, there's no denying that Nine out of ten contract traders get wiped out, spot trading is really the way to go It's the same old story... let's wait and see what happens next Take profits and you'll never lose money, I agree with this principle

Playing it safe and cashing out is a common saying, but I'm worried it might just be another ploy to cut the leeks. 1.2x and then run? Come on, if contract traders are all this timid, what's the point of playing? Spot trading is really stable, but it's not exciting… still, let's keep going all in. Take profit signals? I'll just watch and say nothing. This logic is a bit toxic, implying that people who haven't made money shouldn't play? The underlying message is that only those who profit deserve to be here? Regret only after a pullback; it's even more painful if there's no pullback. Anyway, you'll regret either way.

Hmm, run at 1.2x leverage. This move is a bit conservative; I feel there's still room to push... But on the other hand, people who have been caught in traps too many times really need to learn to take profits when the time is right. Wait, your take-profit logic—are you hinting at something? Is it really safe? I've heard "lock in profits" too many times. Usually, the market is just beginning when people say that. Futures give you headshots, spot trading lets you lie back and win—this advice is reliable. I've been switching to spot trading for almost half a year now.
