Just wrapped up a quick trade on a low-cap altcoin that hit a 5X return—solid gains, though the run fizzled faster than expected. Here's what I've learned from these kinds of plays: when you're dealing with new pairs and small-cap tokens, the volatility can be brutal. The trick is knowing when to lock in profits. I always follow this rule: once you're sitting on 2X or better, start taking chips off the table and de-risking your position. It's not sexy to sell early, but protecting your capital matters more than chasing infinite moonshots. The real winners come from the ones you actually hold through—so keep a moonbag alive while securing your wins on the rest. Risk management beats recklessness every time. Onto the next opportunity.
