It is important to know when to enter and even more critical to know when to exit. You will not however know for sure exactly when it is the right timing. You may have set a target plan e.g., X percentage gain over N months or years when you enter. Then you should track it to see that it is on the correct course. If it is not, then you would have picked that wrong timing to enter. If it is on the correct track, follow it and it is critical make the exit when it has reached the target (X percentage gain) that you would had planned earlier. Don’t be greedy.
