I've been practicing on the platform for a few weeks now and bought a small position in MULTIVERSE just to see how things move, but I am completely lost on when I am actually supposed to take profit or cut losses. Since everything is virtual right now, I want to use this time to learn a proper rule of thumb instead of just guessing. How do experienced people here figure out their exit strategy?
How do you guys decide when to sell a stock on the simulator?

Establishing a disciplined exit strategy in a simulated environment is all about defining your risk-to-reward ratios and adhering to predetermined trailing stops before you even execute a trade. When dealing with volatile equities like Multiverse, market sentiment and sector momentum can shift rapidly, making it crucial to anchor your sell decisions to fundamental valuation metrics or technical resistance levels rather than emotional price swings. Treat this virtual capital as real risk exposure so you can objectively evaluate whether your original thesis for entering the position still holds true.
Ah, I'm so glad you asked this because I've been wondering the exact same thing while staring at my own little simulation portfolio! Since I'm also just trying to figure out how these NGX movements work, I'm curious if people use set percentage targets for taking profit or if there's a specific rule of thumb for cutting losses. How do the more experienced folks here actually decide those exit points without just guessing or panicking when the numbers change?
Omo, Multiverse na one of those volatile counters where you fit easily get greedy if you don't plan your exit before clicking buy. Since it’s a simulator, use this time to build a mechanical rule for yourself, like taking profit at 10% or cutting losses if it drops 5% below your entry. The market will always present another setup, so the real skill is learning to walk away with your virtual capital intact rather than waiting for the absolute peak.
