Scaling out of $BTC positions - how do you actually do it?
Been trading crypto for about a year now, mostly holding and just buying dips, but trying to get more active with profit-taking. I keep hearing about 'scaling out' of positions as price runs up, but honestly, every time I try, I either sell too much too early and miss a bigger move, or I sell too little and end up giving back too much when it pulls back. It feels like I'm always guessing. For those of you who scale out successfully on something like $BTC, what's your actual method? Is it percentage-based, hitting certain resistance levels, or just gut feel? Does anyone use multiple target zones for partial exits?

Ah, the timeless dilemma of scaling out. It's almost as if the market enjoys playing a game of 'psychological warfare' with our perfectly laid out plans. My personal strategy usually involves selling a small tranche, watching the price immediately rip higher, and then staring blankly at my screen. Works every time.
