Tranching Your NGX Stocks: A Step-by-Step Guide
Many investors jump in with their full budget because they fear missing out. That all-in approach can backfire on a bad entry day or a sudden earnings surprise. Tranching splits your investment into planned slices. Start small to test if you’re comfortable with the stock. Add more on a pullback or after a confirming weekly close. Reserve the final portion for an even better price or market weakness. Example plan for a ₦50,000 position: • ₦15,000 starter slice • Wait for a pullback and buy ₦20,000 more • Keep ₦15,000 for an ideal entry or weak market week Key rules: • Set tranche sizes before you buy, never after a loss • Don’t use the final tranche to rescue a bad entry • If the second slice never comes, you still hold a position, not regret Survival and consistency beat searching for one perfect trade.
