Top Articles - Are You Selling Your Shares For A Profit Or Are Just Selling Out
One of the biggest challenges facing traders when trading the share market is when to sell.
Usually a trader will be armed with many theories on how to pick the best trades to enter the market, but when asked where they should exit you often get a confusing array of examples that are in most cases more GUESS work than solid theory.
And herein lays the problem of the modern trader and the subject of this article.

A common statement made by many traders is that they only ever achieve a good profit if they can pick their entry well. However, while this statement has some merit, it is only partly true and in my opinion not the most important element of a successful trader.

However, what I am proposing is that trading is not just about picking winning trades, rather trading for profit is about using sound money management rules and good exit strategies.
You have probably heard the statement that ‘you can’t go broke taking a profit!’ But in my opinion, this is a myth that is not only detrimental to your trading but one that will set you on a path to financial mediocrity as it will cost you a lot of money.

ight less than half of the time and still make money, we can only do this if we allow our profits to run and cut our losses short.
This is because I can be right four out of every five trades but my success and profitability will depend on how I handle each trade in regards to my money management and exit rules.
Let me explain, if I have four winning trades that make 20% each and one losing trade that loses 10%, then I am profitable. I would have made 80% profit and lost only 10%, which means I ha

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
ve made 70% over all.
However we need to remember the fact that if you lose 10% you need to make 11% to break even again, as we have less capital to re-invest. Now let’s look at a slightly different example.
If I decide I am happy making 10% on my profitable trades and I lose 20% on a losing trade then my profitability changes dramatically.
Let’s say I place $1000 in five trades, I would make $400 in total on my winning trades and my losing trade would cost me $200. As a result your $400 profit i

Not forgetting the fact that when you lose 20% you need to make 25% to break even, so the more you lose the harder it is to get back on top again. If we allowed the losing trade to continue to fall to a 40% loss then we would be in an unprofitable position on the whole portfolio.

If you are not a consistently profitable trader then maybe you should look at your money management rules and your exit strategies rather than spending time trying to pick the next big winner.
So how do you know when to hold onto shares and when to sell?
The simple answer is really dependant on the length of time you want to trade and the type of market you are trading.
A very consistent theme continues to shine through.

One of the most important rules I have ever learnt is to trade on confirmation and not speculation, which means you should ever make a decision until the market tells you what it will do.
It is very common upon entering a trade for the inexperienced or un-educated trader to exit after a stock has moved down for a few days or even a few weeks only to see it rise up to make a nice profit after they have exited.

When I explain that this is in fact detrimental to their overall profitability and that they should implement some simple rules, they are often surprised to find that by following some simple rules they are much more profitable.
Often a trader’s reaction to exiting a stock is based on their fear of losing and a lack of faith in their trading plan (if they have one), or their ability to be profitable.

Not only will you be taking smaller profits but you will most likely enter another trade that you won’t know will be profitable. If you are using trend following indicators such as trend lines and moving averages, let them do the work for you by telling you where to exit; do not second guess them by exiting early.

Remember you need to let a stock settle into a trend after entering, but if you set a stop loss of 5% not only is there very little room for the stock to move but you will decrease your profitability. The minimum you should set your stop loss at on these types of stocks is 10%, although depending on their volatility my preference is around 10 -15%.
