If you have $1,000 worth of shares in a stock that's trading at .20 per share. 

And you want to start scaling out as the price is rising. 

Here's a basic example on how you’d do it:

Initial Position:

You hold 5,000 shares at an average of .20, totaling $1,000.

First Sell:

If the stock rises to .22, sell 2,000 shares, cashing out $440.

Second Sell:

If the stock climbs to .24, sell another 2,000 shares, securing $480.

Final Sell:

If it reaches .26, sell the remaining 1,000 shares, cashing out $260.

Before entering any trade, always set specific price targets for when you'll sell your position. 

Most stocks are not going to go straight up.
