Take Profit/Exiting a trade

Hi,
Can anyone please list out the all the possible methods/strategies to exit a trade.
I know exiting a trade is the most crucial part of trading and i am stuck overthere.
i have many situtations where i enter a trade and it goes 100-200 pips in profit but i have to exit on breakeven or with a few pips.


SO PLEASE ANYONE CAN HELP ME OUT WITH THE EXIT STRATEGIES.

It's simple. You must exit long when the price is highest and exit short when the price is lowest

i dont have a crystal ball to see when the price is highest or lowest.

Please some one give me good advice

Well to me it all depends on your style of trading.
What tf do you trade on?
What system do you use and what is its suggestion on exits.
What is your avg Profit for each trade.
How many times has your trades went from +50 to closing at BE?
All this you need to take into account when handling your trades.

Like me personally i am a scalper on the m5 tf. My sl is -10 to -20 and Tp is +10. Once my order hits +10 my SL gets changed to +2. If it goes up and it hits +15 my SL gets changed to +5. If it goes upto +20 change to +15.

It all depends on you. I mean if i was trading and looking for 100+pips on a trade like you said you have had some, once it gets to the 100pips i woul dhave changed my SL to +50 then went down from my current TF to a smaller TF to look for possable good exit signs.

Dont know how much that helped but i tried. =-]

Thanks.

i trade the 1 hour chart.
i trade with the trend .
i currently use fractals to trail my stop but you know the fractals nowadays appear 100-200 pips away from the entry price.
my stoploss is usually large around 300 pips.
but i dont know how to lock in my profits efficiently

why don't you just try this out.

Open your order set your SL at the last bars high or low.
Keep the trade going, if it is in profit on the next bar
change the SL to the last bars high or low. might work for you
