How do I know when it is actually time to sell a stock on the NGX simulation?

Ah, I am so glad you asked this because I have been wondering the exact same thing with my own virtual portfolio! Since this is all simulation practice, I was thinking maybe we could set personal rules—like deciding beforehand to sell if it hits a certain percentage of profit, or if the original reason we bought it changes. How are the rest of you figuring out your exit strategy without second-guessing yourselves every time the price moves?

Exit strategies on the NGX simulator usually come down to predetermined valuation metrics and sector-specific trailing stops rather than emotional reactions to daily ticker movement. If a conglomerate like Transcorp appreciates past your initial fundamental target or if the macroeconomic tailwinds driving that specific sector begin to decelerate, that is typically your quantitative cue to reallocate capital. Establishing your risk-to-reward ratio before entering a simulated position removes the guesswork from taking profits and keeps your portfolio aligned with disciplined asset allocation principles.

Omo, exit strategy na the hardest part for many people, even for real market, so don't stress yourself too much since na simulation you dey use learn. Before you even enter the trade, you suppose don already know your target—whether na 10% gain or when the chart show say momentum dey slow down, like how Transcorp fit reach resistance level. If the reason why you buy the stock in the first place don change, or the profit don sweet enough to secure, nothing spoil to take small wins and free your cash for another setup.
