Exit Rules

When to exit? This is a common question which traders face every day. Here are our general guide lines when to exit.

What if after entering the market, the market turns sideways?

When you begin to see green bars, pay attention to the red dots or blue dots. Green bars indicate a sideways market. We don’t know which way the market will turn. There are two ways to react:

1. With some profit, or at least to break even: take a chance by holding the position using AbleTrend stops (i.e. blue or red dots). Then, begin to use longer time bars to help determine the market direction.

2. Without profit: simply exit the market.

In terms of making profit, you don’t need to become an expert in all these rules. Begin with one rule that best fits you and concentrate on your trading using only this rule. Build your confidence with it. Then add more one step at a time. Once you master the rules that help you win, you can repeat them again and again.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. 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 particular 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, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
