How do I actually decide when to sell a stock on the simulator?

Exit strategy on the NGX largely depends on whether you are playing the fundamental dividend cycle or tracking momentum, but successful execution usually requires predefined quantitative thresholds rather than emotional guesswork. Many market participants utilize a hybrid model: setting strict percentage-based stop-losses (often around 8-10%) to protect capital during liquidity contractions, while mapping their profit-taking windows against historical dividend yields and corporate earnings release dates. Since this is a simulation, use the virtual wallet to test both approaches—measure your risk-to-reward ratios against sector volatility rather than waiting for market sentiment to dictate your exits.

Ah, I’m glad you asked this because I’ve been wondering the exact same thing with my own virtual portfolio! From what I’ve been reading around the forum, some people seem to set strict percentage targets so emotions don't get in the way, while others hold tightly through the seasons just to catch those dividend payouts on the NGX. I'm really curious to see how the experienced folks here balance waiting for dividends versus just taking their profits and moving on.
