depends if you want to sell at a loss 
That had to be the same message at the same time
lol, as I hit reply I saw your comment too.

Just answered about the practice account and now I understand why its here, my advice back out of the real money hold your funds and go use the practice account for a while. Nothing will change when you come back to it in a few months there will always be a drama of some sort affecting share prices

Under the result section, you will see a live preview of how your shares are performing.
If the result is showing a positive number, then you are in profit - so you will sell for a gain.
If the result is showing a negative number, then you are at a loss - so you will sell for a loss.
You can sell at any time, but your returns will depend on whether your shares are in profit (GREEN) or are at a loss (RED).
The image below shows a position, where if I were to close at that moment, would result in a LOSS of £0.09p
Hope this answers your question.
Remember to play about in the practice mode first, you can experiment there for free.
