When to Sell: A Simple Guide Based on Your Strategy

One of the most common questions we get is: “When should I sell?”

The answer depends on whether you are using a short-term strategy or a long-term strategy.

Here’s a clear breakdown to help you decide:

1. Short-Term Strategies

If you are following a Short-Term Signal (found in the Short Term Signals section):

  • Buy as soon as you receive the notification in the app.
  • You will be given a sell target from day one — usually within a few days to a week.
  • The goal is to capture quick momentum moves.

Rule: Enter fast and exit according to the signal’s timeline.

2. Long-Term & Medium-Term Strategies

If you are following a Long-Term or Medium-Term Signal (found in the Long Term Signals section):

  • You will see a Target Sell Date in the signal.
  • Start selling gradually around that date.
  • A good approach is to spread out your sells — for example, sell 10% of your position each month.

This method helps you lock in gains while reducing the risk of trying to time the exact top.

Final Thought

Selling is not about guessing the perfect moment. It’s about having a clear plan based on your chosen strategy — short-term or long-term.

Use the signals and tools in AIPicks to stay disciplined. The more consistent you are with your plan, the better your long-term results will be.
