SCALING IN = TRADE LIKE A SNIPER, NOT A CLOWN
Don’t blow your whole position at the first green candle.
You BUILD into it. You scale in like a pro.
Example: You want in with $1,000? Cool.
Start with $300 on early signs.
Add another $300 when it starts confirming.
Drop the final $400 when it rips through key resistance or retests with strength.
Why?
Because you’re not some degenerate going all-in off vibes.
This keeps you calm, calculated, and gives you a better average if it moves your way.
Here’s the cheat code:
First buy = when the setup starts to trigger
Second buy = breakout of key level or confirmation
Third (optional) = retest entry or parabolic strength
Scaling in = controlled aggression.
No chasing. No panic. Just precision.
SCALING OUT = LOCK GAINS BUT STAY DANGEROUS
When it starts running, don’t dump the whole thing.
Take profits in chunks, and leave a runner to moon.
Example: You’re up 20%?
Take 30% off at your first target.
Take another 30% at the next resistance.
Leave the last 40% to ride into the sunset or get stopped at higher lows.
Why?
Because you’re smart enough to pay yourself,
But savage enough to hold for more.
How to do it:
First sell = 20-30% at your first real target
Second sell = 20-30% higher (next resistance or fib level)
Final exit = trail stop under structure or shoot for the home run
Scaling = survival.
Rookies go all in or all out—pros SCALE.
