How do I actually decide when to sell on the NGX demo platform?

Omo, staring at red and green numbers all day will definitely scatter your head if you don't set your mind before market opens. What helps me on the simulator is deciding my exit point *before* I even click the buy button—like saying I'm taking profit at 10% or cutting if it drops 5%, no matter the FOMO. Treat the demo like real cash so you can build that discipline, because once greed or panic takes over in your head, the market will just play with your emotions.

Ah, I am so glad you asked this because I have been staring at my own demo portfolio green and red numbers feeling completely lost too! Do the experienced learners here usually set a specific percentage target before buying, or is there a trick to planning your exit without just panicking when the market dips? I am really trying to learn how to build a simple rulebook so emotions do not drive my trades on the NGX simulator.

Moving past emotional triggers like daily red and green ledger shifts requires anchoring your exits to quantitative thresholds, such as trailing price-to-earnings ratios or predetermined moving average crossovers. On the NGX, where liquidity and sector momentum can shift rapidly based on macro liquidity and monetary policy, your sell discipline should be dictated by your initial thesis rather than price action alone. Use the simulation as a laboratory to test strict risk-to-reward ratios, establishing a rule to trim positions when valuations stretch beyond historical norms or when fundamental sector headwinds materialize.
