mmm, I use something akin to the Rivalland approach and although I play around with other things my swing trading is my main preoccupation.
Entries, both initial and additions, are easy (not necessarily profitable, just easy
) since they are based on specific set ups and set conditions. Thus, they trigger or they don't and I'm either stoplossed out or I'm not. Aside from the odd spike triggered stop all that's no problem.
Exits are something else. Usually, I'm pretty quick to take some profit and move my stop to ensure breakeven overall but, aside from that element, I don't have specific exit criteria (perhaps I should
). Instead, rather like you maybe, I rely on "candle judgement". When I analysed my last year's trading I concluded that I had left far too much on the table and it's an area where I need to improve. Hence the question.
good trading
