TRADE EXIT STARTEGY IN DAY TRADING

My Exit Beliefs In part one of this article, we considered a few questions: Should we use a tight stop loss to cut any losses quickly, or a wide stop loss to allow some room to move? How quickly should we move the stop loss to breakeven ? Should we take profits at a target, or should we let the profits run, perhaps trailing a stop behind the price? In attempting to answer these questions we looked at a number of charts, we chose entry criteria, and then looked at possible options for the exit. And this is what we discovered: Firstly, in each case, the profit or loss taken out of the trade was more a result of our chosen stop and exit method, not our entry. For the same entry, there were numerous possible exits, some profitable, some breakeven and some at a loss. And secondly, we cannot know, except with hindsight, what will be the most profitable exit strategy for that particular trade. In other words - the exit is more important than the entry. The exit has more bearing on w...

SUPPORT AND RESISTENCE IN STOCK MARKET

In stock market , support and Resistance symbolizes key junctures where the forces of supply and demand meet.   Prices are driven by excessive supply (down) and demand (up).   Thus technical analysis is very much important in the wake of knowing buy/sell signal .   Supply is synonymous with bearish, bears and selling.   Demand is synonymous with bullish, bulls and buying.   These terms are used interchangeably throughout this and other articles.   As demand increase, prices advance and as supply increases, prices decline.   When supply and demand are equal, prices move sideways as bulls and bears slug it out for control. SUPPORT ? Support is the price level at which demand is thought to be strong enough to prevent the price from decline further.   The logic dictates that as the price declines towards support and gets cheaper, buyers become more inclined be it intraday or delivery.   The intraday trading software can make out a p...
