How far do you let your profits run? Are your exits based on technical levels? Trailing SL based on ATR? Trailing SL on fixed number of pips? Targets around key (S/R?) zones? Scaling out using a combo of these? Do you move your SL to breakeven, and if so, when? Do you have different exit strategies for different market types (trending, ranging,...?), and if so, what criteria do you use to determine these market types? Or different strategies for different timeframes?
You've been trading for 14 years, I've been struggling until just recently; I was hoping to learn something methodologically tangible from somebody who's genuinely experienced. Simply saying "it's about trade management", "it's not how often you win, but how much" and "you can't predict direction" is all rather unhelpfully vague, don't you agree? If you'd prefer not to share your secrets, then of course that's your prerogative, but please say so plainly. Or is your strategy just some kind of intuitive guesswork that's too difficult to explain in a forum post?
