Know your positions deeply. Really understand what you're actually holding—not just the ticker, but the fundamentals, the risk profile, the narrative. When market noise hits, panic selling or chasing pumps without conviction destroys most portfolios. Don't let volatility dictate your moves. Stick to what you actually believe in, or exit cleanly. The difference between winners and liquidated traders often comes down to this: do you know WHY you hold, or did you just follow hype? Depth matters more than action.
