Here's something most traders overlook: keeping powder dry in stables when everything's bleeding.

Let me tell you about two trades that changed how I think about capital allocation. First time around, the entire market was tanking. Everyone panic-selling. But I had seven figures sitting in stables—just waiting. That positioned me to go heavy when prices hit rock bottom. Turned into a seven-figure gain pretty quick.

The pattern repeated itself recently. Market conditions got rough again. Guess what? I had stables ready.

You see, it's not just about finding the right entry. It's about having the ammunition when opportunity knocks. Most people are fully deployed when markets pump, then caught holding bags when things reverse. Having stable positions during downturns? That's your real edge. It lets you be aggressive when others are capitulating.

Don't get me wrong—timing matters. But liquidity matters more. You can spot the perfect setup and still miss it if you're illiquid. Keep that stable allocation. Stay ready.
