What is your sell strategy?

I use the Investors Business Daily rules as a guideline:

1) Minimize losses to 8%
2) Sell all or most of the position at 20-25% gain.

I also use the 10 DMA and 50 DMA to decide when to sell. If it falls below the 10 DMA, I can lock in gains. If it falls below the 50 DMA, I consider selling all.

That is my general approach.
