How to Know When to Buy and Sell Stocks

Knowing when to buy and sell stocks comes from having a clear set of rules—e.g. price at support, trend direction, or a specific pattern. You don't need to catch every move; you need a method you can repeat and test.

Define your entry and exit before you trade. Use stop losses and, if you use targets, stick to them. Avoid buying or selling just because of a headline or a tip; your plan should be based on your strategy, not emotion.
