When to Sell Stocks: Lessons From Ross Haber

Knowing when to buy a stock is important. But knowing when to sell can make an even bigger difference.

In this trading workshop, experienced growth-stock trader Ross Haber explains how he manages winning positions, limits losses, and avoids emotional selling.

Cut Losses, Let Winners Run

Ross emphasizes using logical stop-loss levels, generally keeping his maximum loss around 7–8%.

He also explains why selling profitable stocks too early can prevent traders from capturing larger market moves.

Two Ways to Sell Stocks

Proactive selling means taking profits as stocks become extended or show signs of a potential climax top.

Defensive selling means waiting for a stock to break important support levels, such as moving averages.

Ross generally prefers defensive selling, often watching for two consecutive closes below a relevant moving average.

Business Lesson

Successful trading requires consistent rules, patience, and disciplined risk management.

The goal isn't to sell at the exact top. It's to protect capital while allowing strong trends to develop.
