Exit Strategies - Multiple Lots

All of our signals include Stop Loss and Take Profit Targets and it is easy to follow the Trade Alert Exit Strategy.  You may prefer to adjust that strategy with one or more of the strategies listed below. Also, at times, we may send signals without Stop Loss and Take Profit Targets, the strategies below are useful and can help you determine how to exit a trade.

Notice that there are two sections; strategies for trading a single lot, and strategies for trading multiple lots. Trading multiple lots at a time allows you to take advantage of multiple exit strategies. You can combine any of the single lot strategies or use any of the following combinations:
 
Close half your lots, use profit as a cushion
 
How to do it:
  1. After your trade has achieved a profit of 20-35 pip, close half your lots and keep the remaining lots open.
  2. If the trade continues to be profitable, apply the Trailing Stop strategy on the remaining open lots.
Advantage
You can remain in the trade while still closing a portion of your lots with a profit.  You have the opportunity for further profits with the remaining lots.

Disadvantage
If the market reverses you could be stopped out on the remaining lots.

Close half your lots, move Stop to Entry Point
 
How to do it:
  1. After your trade has achieved a profit of 20-35 pip, close half your lots and keep the remaining lots open.
  2. On the remaining lots, move your Stop to the Entry Point price.
  3. If the trade continues to be profitable, apply the Trailing Stop strategy on the remaining open lots.
Advantage
You can remain in the trade while still closing a portion of your lots with a profit.  You have the opportunity for further profits with the remaining lots.

Disadvantage
If the market reverses you could be stopped out on the remaining lots. Since the Stop Loss had been moved to the Entry Point price, you would be stopped out at zero profit, zero loss.

Legal risk warning:  Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts. 

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particularly trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk. Variables such as the ability to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses as well as maintaining adequate liquidity are material points which can adversely affect actual real trading results.  Past performance posted by Signal and Systems Providers ("Providers"), is not necessarily indicative of future results. No representation is made that any account is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particularly trading program. The composite monthly results are primarily hypothetical results of the master demo and its representation of the Providers, though performance results displayed may represent a combination of live and hypothetical results and are not exclusive to either. There are numerous other factors related to markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results. In the event that specific trades were simultaneously executed in hypothetical and live, real-time trading, the lesser of the two results will be displayed. There is no guarantee that one applying these methodologies would have the same results as the hypothetically posted. Since trading successfully depends on many elements including but not limited to a trading methodology and a trader's own psychology, the web site does not make any representation whatsoever that the above mentioned trading systems might be or are suitable or that they would be profitable for you. Please realize the risk with any investment and consult investment professionals before proceeding. The trading systems herein described have been developed for sophisticated traders who fully understand the nature and the scope of the risks that are associated with trading. Should you decide to trade any or all of these systems' signals, it is your decision.  Currency trading involves high risk and you can lose a lot of money.
