Paper hands
A teasing or critical label for someone who sells quickly when the market gets shaky.
PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION
In more detail
Paper hands is the opposite of diamond hands: the joke is that your grip folds under pressure. People use it about panic selling, an early exit or themselves after a nervous trade. It is a community judgment, not a proper description of someone's plan; selling can also be a deliberate choice.

How you might use it
They called me paper hands after I sold during the dip, but that was the exit I'd planned.
