A while ago I watched some of Charlie Eggins’ videos on Blindsolving, and I was wondering how you know if you’ve gone over the whole cube? He might have gone over that in his cycle break video, but I can’t remember.

You either put your fingers on every edge/corner you've went through and you'll know when you have gone through every single one of them, or you can simply count and when you reach around 11-13 you are finished
 
Counting is unreliable so I wouldn't recommend it. I used to use fingers, by putting fingers on pieces I've traced and just mentally keeping track of leftover targets if I run out of fingers. As I got faster and more experienced, I stopped having to do this as I developed a sense for knowing if there are pieces left/where they are and I'm now able to subconsciously track targets without fingers. Another technique you could try is something I use sometimes in big BLD, where you just go through each target individually and check if it's in your memo.

This should be done intuitively for a 3x3.

For which piece type are you having a problem in tracing completely, edges or corners?
