Trade Exit - How To Cut Losses And Let Profits Run
Cut your losses short and let your profits run. This is the
essence of your trade exit rules.
Cutting losses short
A protective stop protects your trading capital, it is your
initial trade risk. Before a trade is even entered your should
know where your protective stop will be - this is your maximum
loss (barring any slippage on the exit). There are many different
ways to determine a protective stop on a trade:
Set dollar amount - Say $500 on every trade
Percentage retracement - Say 10% from the entry price
Volatility - A percentage of the average true range of the
previous x bars
Moving Averages - the opposite of the moving average entry
Channel breakouts - the opposite of the channel breakout
entry
Based on areas of support and resistance stops
Time - If a position is not in profit after a certain length
of time then it is exited.
Letting profits run
An effective exit technique is also required to allow a
successful trade to make the most profit possible and give back
the least amount of it.
Usually a trailing stop is employed to achieve this objective.
A trailing stop moves to lock in profits as the trade moves in
the traders favour, it should never be moved backwards. There are
many different ways to calculate a trailing stop:
Volatility - the stop is calculated as a percentage of the
average true range of x periods.
Dollar - A set amount determined before the trade is
entered.
channel breakout - exit a long position at the low of the last
x bars.
moving average
chart patterns - ie move the trailing stop behind each
consolidation as it forms.
Other forms of exit are:
Time Stops - A trade is exited after a certain length of time
no mater what. A day trader, for example, will always exit at the
market close.
Targets - A limit order is placed to exit a position at a
pre-defined profit objective. However this tends to break the
rule of letting profits run and usually reduces the profitability
of a system by cutting short the best trades.

Everybody hates to lose and unfortunately no one is blessed
with the ability of foresight, therefore losses are an

either be right, or wrong, and even if we broke-even we'd
still be classed as being wrong - as nobody enters into a
trade just to break-even! When unsuccessful traders
encounter a string of losses they begin to engage in
self-destructive patterns that help them escape the pain
they are experiencing.
