BeST_Profit Taker Exits is a Metatrader Indicator based on the corresponding vital part of Jim Berg's
Trading System.It timely locates the most likely points/bars of significant Profit Taking and can be easily used as an
add-on to any Trading System/Method.
The Indicator consists of 2 Take Profit lines deriving as (MA ± times the ATR) usually the upper one above the prices (for
Long Trades) and the lower one below prices (for Short Trades). When the Close (or High by choice) of a bar is above the upper line (PTL =
Profit Taker Long) or a bar Close (or Low by choice) is bellow the lower line (PTS = Profit Taker Short) - always
filtered by the current level of RSI - this can be used as a signal to lock in profit exiting the Market.
The full Trading System originaly used for Long Trades only, is described in Jim’s article “The Truth
About Volatility” (TASC/February 2005).
His method caught attention in 2002 when he won a trading competition for Personal Investor Magazine. It has been noted that Jim produced a
30% return trading the Australian market during a year that the market had dropped 20%.
