my view : all this  ( type of position, when get a position, take profit, stop loss ,  trilling stop or exit from position )

                  called strategy.

Strategies for getting more profit from each trade .

Example :  trailing , break even , Parabolic SAR ,..... 

 

If you have a strategy so exit should be part of it. Strategy without exit is not a strategy.

What the people are using for exit?

  • Parabolic
  • overbough/oversold levels (stochastic, demark and so on)
  • support/resistance level (povit, fibo and so on)
  • opposite signal to enter
  • openning the other trade on same direction with increased lot size (martingale)
  • openning the other trade on same direction with decreased lot size but with increased take provit value (anti-martingale)


I think - closing on overbough/oversold (stochastic etc), support/resistance (povit/fibo) and simple trailing stop are most popular for the people who consider about "let the profit run"

The Demarker Indicator (DeM) is based on the comparison of the period maximum with the previous period maximum. When the indicator falls below 30, the bullish price reversal should be expected. When the indicator rises above 70, the bearish price reversal should be expected.

Strategies for getting more profit from each trade .

Increase your position size . . .

Ignoring the effect of spread . . .   if my position is 0.1 lot  and my profit is X then using a position size of 0.2 lots will give me a profit of 2 * X  

2 * X is more than X  so this achieves the objective of    "getting more profit from each trade ."  no ?
