Most Traders Know When to Enter. Few Know When to Let Go.
Entering is easy.
Anyone can click buy when a setup looks clean.
But the real killers?
They know how to exit — without greed, hesitation, or regret.
The Problem:
Traders get attached.
They let profits become identity.
They hope for more, even when the chart says, “Take the win and walk.”
Exit discipline is what separates the skilled from the lucky.
The Exit Mistakes:
- Waiting for a round number instead of reading price action
- Holding into chop hoping it breaks instead of securing strength
- Letting a green trade turn red because they “believed” too hard
The Real Fix:
You don’t exit based on feelings. You exit based on structure.
3 Exit Tactics That Work:
- Set a tiered target: First scale at 50%, second at 100%. Trail the rest if it runs.
- Let RSI + volume guide the top: When buyers thin out, you take the win.
- Respect your risk-to-reward rule: If 2:1 is hit, you don’t negotiate — you cash in.
Hard Truth:
The trade doesn’t owe you the full move.
It gave you a gift. Your job is to take it with precision.
The best exits feel slightly early.
That’s why they work.
