I want to share a tough but crucial lesson I recently learned in the market.
For a whole month, I was patiently tracking a coin, waiting for it to drop to my target entry price of $0.80 so I could finally buy in. I was getting impatient, but I held my line.
$WLD 😭 Unfortunately, when the real opportunity struck—when the coin completely bottomed out at $0.20—I had zero liquidity. I had gone all-in on my previous positions and simply had no capital left to seize that massive discount.
I missed a life-changing opportunity, and I won't let that mistake happen again.
That's why I want to offer this firm advice to all my fellow traders:
Always, and I mean always, leave a reserve of liquidity in your portfolio.
No matter how tempting a project is, no matter how much FOMO you feel, do not deploy 100% of your capital. Real opportunities—the ones that offer 3x, 5x, or even 10x returns—often come from unexpected market crashes or sudden, deep dips. If you're fully invested, you're forced to watch from the sidelines.
Remember, those "bottom" opportunities don't come around twice. Be prepared for them.
Don't fall for the trick of being cash-poor when the market is on sale!$WLD
