everyone spends so much time figuring out when to enter a trade but nobody talks enough about when to exit & that’s where a lot of option profits get lost. open the @CoinDCX app & pull up the options chain. let’s say BTC is at $82,700, struggling to break past $84K resistance. you’re bullish, so u buy an $83.5K call with 7 days left, paying $1,800. your plan is simple: BTC breaks above $84K & moves towards $86K. & it actually happens. BTC crosses 84K→your call is worth ~2,100 BTC hits 86K→your call is worth ~3,200, almost 1.8x your entry now here’s the part nobody warns u about. u start thinking, what if it goes to $90K? why sell now? so u hold, hoping for morel. but BTC stops moving, tiny candles, low volume, just two days of going nowhere. with only 3 days left, time decay starts eating into your premium then BTC slips back to $84.5K, & your call is worth around $1,450. u got the direction right, hit your target, & still ended up losing money bcz u didn't know when to get out. let’s look at how the same trade could play out with three different exits: > sold everything at 86K:+1,400 (W) > held with 3 days left & waited: -$350 (cooked) > sold half at $86K, rest at 84.5K:+525 (decent) same thesis, same correct call, very different results fr. (numbers are illustrative.) so when do u actually book profit? → when your target is hit, that was the plan, & the plan is done. → when momentum starts fading, smaller candles, failed breakouts, long wicks. if the move is losing steam, don't ignore it just bcz u want more. → when your setup stops making sense, if your exit rule was a close below $84K & BTC closes back below it, stick to your plan. don't keep holding just bcz you're hoping for a recovery. sure, u can hold for a bigger move but make sure momentum is still there, u have a reason to expect more upside, & your option still has enough time left. u could also book some profits & let the rest run with a clear exit plan. bcz the goal isn't to sell at the exact top every single time. it's to know why you're in a trade, what you're aiming for, & when it's time to walk away. now it’s your turn 👇 open an options setup on @CoinDCX & decide your profit-booking level before entering. what would make u exit, & why? drop your take below. not financial advice, options are risky. #LearnKaroCryptoKaro
