I'm cataloging trade management techniques. So you've received a great entry signal from your strategy and entered a trade, so what now? The focus will be on manual trading for now, experts come later!
Consider using one or more of the following:
1. Dynamic Trailing Stop- Move your stop loss to a predefined distance (e.g., ATR or fixed pips) behind the current market price as it moves in your favour.
2. Break-Even Stop Loss- Move stop loss to break-even when the trade reaches a certain profit level.
3. Partial Profit Taking- Close a portion of the position when a certain profit level is reached.
4. Time-Based Exit- Close the trade after a specific duration if it hasn't hit your targets.
5. News Event Management- Automatically close trades before major news events.
6. Reversal Signal Exit- Use a specific indicator (e.g., RSI) to exit if a reversal signal occurs.
7. Adjust Take Profit Based on ATR- Adjust your take-profit level based on the Average True Range (ATR) for volatility.
