Good evening fellow sailors of the good ship HMAS TT.

I have a question for my esteemed colleagues:

What does ‘Let’s your runners, run’ look like to you?

Do you have a percentage target, a dollar value, a psychological (eg sell when it hits $0.50) limit...? How do you gauge when a share has run enough, and what is your strategy as you watch the run unfold?

Context: I’ve been stuck on a few shares recently, watching them rise, then retrace, then rise again, and I haven’t quite developed the right knack to maximise returns as this happens. I understand that this isn’t always predictable, but would love to hear from others about their own learnings.

I find that when I start to feel really comfortable with my investment and believe the share price is going to the moon, it's time to sell.

Others probably set trailing stop losses with varying percentage drops depending on how volatile the share is.
