Purely from personal pain and gain sharing so, not advice.
For AIM co's
Come into stocks early probably helps then trim them out after DD and leave the ones you feel comfortable. I was in a few early on - but kept only HE1 out of 6/7 early buys within the months HE1 listed. (300%+ up now, it will be 10x soon, toes crossed!).
For Main Stocks, i only buy after extensive DD and hold until further notice. I do sell, like Shell/ BP, Illumina. I would love to buy back into Illumina for example, having taken it to the washing machine a good 10+ times, but the current price is nonsense, so i will wait patiently. If it doesn't come down, who cares - next !. Eg set an entry level (and alarm on your app).
Otherwise just be an opportunist. Buy, sell when there is enough profit for whatever shares. I've sold shares for weekend lunch money :) my business partner used to laugh at me when i started buying / selling shares back in Apr last year for, £40 -50 profit every other day to start with. You can easily add two zeroes to it now. And he's stopped laughing.
some wait for the end game (profits, multiple, hodl), others looks for a combo of " win, high frequency, compound and consistency" and keep at it.
Anyhow, i don't know anything so don't listen to me. I've lost a lot too, like £8-10k per share following the first round of US yield jitters and i didn't know what to do..
