 Hello friends  lets under stand exit set up in trading

This strategy is the simplest exit strategy available for day traders. Also, even beginners can use this one for a successful exit from an intraday trading session.

So, for a stock price of ₹10, you can put a stop-loss at ₹9. Here, your risk to reward ratio would be 5:1. This means, for making ₹5, you will risk ₹1, which is not a very bad position to have.

According to its name, one part of this exit strategy is used by beginners in day trading.

For example, if you buy the stocks of a company at ₹100, you can place a stop-loss order at ₹99. So, when the price moves up in your favor, the selling price would be increased to the ₹101 mark as a part of the trailing stop-loss exit strategy. At this point, however, the stop-loss isn’t moved back down. For instance, if you move up to ₹105, you can place the stop-loss at ₹104; you will not reduce the stop-loss below ₹104 at any time during the trade. And similarly, this pullback on the stock price will help trigger your stop-loss order, effectively mitigating the risks.
