For me, selling is the hardest part of trading, but also the most crucial. I always set a target before entering, and once that level is reached, I take profit without hesitation. This keeps me from falling into greed and ensures I lock in gains in a structured way rather than leaving it to emotions.
I rely on both technical and psychological checkpoints. Technically, I watch resistance levels, RSI signals, and moving averages. Psychologically, I ask: “If I were in cash now, would I still buy this stock at this price?” If the answer is no, that’s my clear signal to sell.
Profit-taking systems help bring discipline and consistency. Without them, it’s easy to get swayed by short-term moves or FOMO. By sticking to preset rules, I reduce regret and trade with confidence. In the end, knowing how to sell well separates a disciplined trader from a lucky one.
